URGENT SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE PCDA
The Derryounce Lakes committee have been contacted by Bord Na Mona ref the Train Track up on the Derryounce lakes. There have been several people walking along these train tracks which is illegal as the locomotives that still use these tracks have no ability to stop, making this very dangerous. Please please be aware whilst walking up on the Derryounce walks of this safety matter. If you have any questions regarding this you can contact a member of the Portarlington Trails group, the Portarlington Wildlife conservation group or the Derryounce Lakes & Trails group. The Derryounce project is part of the Portarlington Community Development Association.
