On behalf of the Association, Hugh Farrell, IWA Regional Manager, Arthur Dunne IWA ROC Service Coordinator and Barry Reid Support Officer presented the findings to the Mullingar Municipal Council and requested that the access issues throughout Mullingar would be addressed by the Council and were possible that necessary changes would be introduced. - Meeting
