Former Ireland and Man Utd great spotted in Galway pub
The 71-cap Irish international and two-time All-Ireland winner posed with staff in the popular establishment Former Ireland and Man Utd defender Kevin Moran was spotted at Lowry's Bar in Clifden. Former Irish international footballer Kevin Moran has been soaking in the Galway sun this week after being spotted at a popular local pub in Clifden. The former Manchester United and Dublin GAA star was visiting Connemara on Monday evening and stopped into Lowry's Bar to mingle with locals and soak in the pub's warm atmosphere. The 71-cap Irish international and two-time All-Ireland winner posed with staff in the popular establishment, including the bar's owner Damien Ryan. Praise from former Utd player Kevin Moran pictured in 1985 'We had the honour of welcoming Kevin Moran – former Ireland international and former Manchester United football legend – to Lowrys Bar last night!' the bar said on social media. 'From the pitch to the pub, Kevin still knows how to light up a room. Thanks for stopping by Kevin — you made our night!' Kevin Moran lines out for Ireland in 1990. Photo: Ray McManus/Sportsfile Moran (69) grew up in Rialto, Dublin and divided his youth between playing Gaelic games and soccer. In the early stages of his career, he divided his time between playing Gaelic football for Good Counsel in South Dublin and soccer for Bohemians. A short stint at Dalymount followed with limited first-team appearances before he departed to play Gaelic football for Dublin, winning four Leinster titles and two All-Ireland medals for Dublin – including an All-Star medal in 1976. 5 July 1981; Kevin Moran of Dublin during the Leinster Senior Football Championship Semi-Final match between Dublin and Laois at O'Connor Park, Tullamore. Photo by Ray McManus/Sportsfile A move to Manchester United followed in 1978 after impressive stints with UCD, Pegasus and later Bohemians. After moving to Old Trafford, Moran infamously returned home to Dublin to take part in the 1978 Leinster Final, which Dublin lost to Kildare and resulted in him tearing his hamstring. The left-footed defender went on to make 277 competitive appearances across 10 seasons at Old Trafford, winning two FA Cups and famously receiving a red card in the 1985 final against Everton – becoming the first-ever player to do so. Moran made 71 appearances for the Republic of Ireland between 1980 and 1994, played every game at Euro '88 and Italia '90 and was named FAI Player of the Year in 1989. His post-United career took him to Sporting Gijón in Spain, followed by a four-year stint at Blackburn Rovers, where he served as club captain and, unfortunately, retired the season before their famous Premier League win in the 1994-95 season. Since retirement, Moran has been inducted into the FAI Hall of Fame and was the subject of a biographical RTÉ documentary titled Codebreaker in 2023.

Five possible locations for new bridge which will form part of the highly-anticipated Enniscorthy Flood Relief Scheme are revealed
Frustration has festered over the long wait for the scheme to be approved and for work to finally begin on a plan that hopes to address the frequent flooding experienced by the town's residents. Enniscorthy has experienced significant flooding over the years, the latest incident being in 2021, with many homeowners and businessowners struggling to get insurance and having to throw out damaged furniture repeatedly. Following a recent visit by Minister for the Office of Public Works Kevin Moran to Enniscorthy to reiterate the government's commitment to seeing the deliverance of the current Flood Relief Scheme, the project has entered the consultation stage. The scheme is to be delivered in two phases. Phase One of the scheme will involve the removal of the Seamus Rafter Bridge, which poses a significant obstruction to river flow through the town centre during flood events, and the construction of a new road bridge and new pedestrian bridge to replace the Seamus Rafter Bridge. Phase Two of the scheme will involve the construction of the remaining flood relief works required for the town. The spokesperson for the council emphasised the need for public consultation and support: 'Flooding represents a risk to the health and safety of the community, causes significant property damage, and disruption to commercial activity and traffic in the town. The flood relief scheme will protect over 300 homes and businesses in the area from the ongoing risk of flooding.' "The bridge will be removed and replaced by a road bridge and pedestrian bridge that will accommodate for future flood levels and provide segregated pedestrian and cyclist facilities.' In preparation, a constraints study was carried out to identify all factors that will influence the design of Phase One of the scheme. This was the first step in the option selection process and outlines the key environmental constraints, including physical (topography, river and built environment) and environmental constraints ( River Slaney SAC, biodiversity, landscape and visual, and cultural heritage), that have the potential to affect the design and location of the scheme. On Tuesday, May 13, locals were presented with multiple options that they could give their feedback on. The first option was not considered feasible following a preliminary assessment, so options 2 to 5B were presented to the public. Option 2 is located approximately 890m downstream of the Seamus Rafter Bridge, connecting between the R772 Wexford Road just north of Killagoley Lane to the R774 St John's Road north of the River Urrin. Option 3 is located approximately 600m downstream of the Seamus Rafter Bridge (or c.100m south of the Riverside Hotel), connecting between the R772 Wexford Road the R774 St John's Road north of the Arnolds Cross (Parnell Road). Option 4 is located approximately 570m downstream of the Seamus Rafter Bridge (or c.75m south of the Riverside Hotel), connecting between the R772 Wexford Road the R774 St John's Road north of the Arnolds Cross (Parnell Road). Option 5A is located approximately 120m downstream of the Seamus Rafter Bridge, connecting between the R772 Wexford Road and The Promenade. The bridge is set at a level of c7.8m OD, which is up to five metres above the existing quay / road level and allows for the design flood level plus 600mm freeboard. Option 5B is the same bridge location as Option 5A, however the southwest ramp connecting to The Promenade is omitted. While the connection from Quay Street to The Promenade would still be severed, access to The Promenade is maintained via Mill Yard Land and Salthouse Lane. However, it was noted that Options 2, 3 and 4 would require the provision of a pedestrian / cycle bridge in proximity of the existing Seamus Rafter Bridge, given that the diversion distance of 1.4 – 2.2km via the replacement road bridge would be an excessive diversion for walking or cycling. Following initial feedback, public opinion is currently leaning towards the fifth options. Residents can access a feedback form online and can submit their response by the cut off date of Tuesday, June 10. In attendance on the day was Cllr Jackser Owens, who despite welcoming public participation on the plan, has thrown doubts over the expected timeline of the project. "It is unlikely it was start in 2026 as planned – there is too much red tape. When I asked the consultants on the day they said that this and that needed to be done had to be done first. I am 70 years of age and I doubt I will see this done in my lifetime.' He added that himself and others were left with more questions than answers on the day as well. "They said that despite the feedback, the scheme could be denied based on environmental factors again in the future. People also asked how the plan would affect the people on Island Rd and they couldn't answer. People are sick of listening to this over the years. So I am calling on all Oireachtas representatives in the county to come out and do something.'

Vandals cause €500,000 worth of damage to OPW site used to access Castletown House
Vandals caused more than €500,000 worth of damage to Office of Public Works (OPW) property over the bank holiday weekend. Four OPW vehicles were overturned and damaged along with four CCTV towers, which were smashed at Donaghcumper House, Celbridge, in Co Kildare. Minister of State for the Office of Public Works Kevin 'Boxer' Moran described the criminal damage as 'shocking' and 'unacceptable'. Nearby Castletown House, one of the most architecturally significant Palladian-style country homes in Ireland, was closed in 2023 in a dispute over a right of access to its lands , which are a popular place for local people to walk. READ MORE Private land within the estate was sold to a developer who closed off an entrance and car park near the M4 to the public and to the OPW. OPW staff returned to Castletown House on April 10th for the first time in two years, with a goal of opening the house to the public at the end of May. However, they were unable to access the site because of a dispute over the right of access at Lime Avenue. OPW staff have been using Donaghcumper House as a base. Between April 22nd and 30th, a number of incidents took place at the Donaghcumper House site, including fire damage to outbuildings and staff welfare facilities. This escalated last weekend with the vandalism of the vehicles and CCTV towers. Vandalism caused at the OPW site at Donaghcumper House, near Castletown House, in Celbridge, Co Kildare. Photograph: OPW Two of the groups involved in restoring the right of way have condemned the incident. The Save Castletown Committee said it was 'shocked by the news of arson attacks. Save Castletown Committee would like to take this opportunity to express our solidarity with staff and those affected by these attacks'. A view of Castletown House in Celbridge, Co Kildare The Castletown Gate Protectors posted on their Facebook page: 'We are shocked and deeply saddened by the news this evening about the extensive criminal damage to OPW property at Donaghcumper House. We condemn any such action in the strongest possible terms and hope those responsible are brought to justice swiftly.'
