(Kerryman (sic) 2/9/09, pp. 1,5,30).

Local residents called a public meeting for 8.30 PM on September 3rd at the Lord Bagenal to express concern at an application by Dan Morrissey Quarries (DMQ) to shut down two stretches of public road on the back road from Bagnalstown to Carlow.

A public meeting was called for Wednesday September 2nd at the Community Centre, Granard, Co. Longford, to oppose an application by 02, Vodafone and Tetra for an extension to a telemast in the town.
