"This is already a dangerous road with poor and uneven surface and no lights despite repeated requests for street lighting to be installed.

"Young children walking to the local GAA club, mums walking with prams are at risk as long as this path remains blocked by unfinished works.

"'I have asked for the footpath to be returned to a usable state as a matter of urgency.”
