Wouldn't bother with the Spa myself. The Springfield is under new management apparently, going back to some time last year I think. Food is decent but I can't comment on the rooms, same with the Courtyard, decent food can't comment on the rooms. Courtyard has a bar menu and a restaurant which is a bonus, I haven't been but I've heard good things.

Would suggest Allensgrove (Barnhall) or maybe an AirBnB also.

Okay, sorry I didn’t know that. It was a great venue for dining, pity it’s gone.
Thanks for letting me know.

Can see Northern lights now look NW direction.

Hey I've just moved into the Glen Easton estate and was wondering if anyone knows why the pedestrian access between Glen Easton woods and The Mews (Westfield) has been bricked up? I can see on Google maps that it was still open in 2022. Wondering as that short cut would mean I could walk to the Lidl instead of driving if I only need a few bits. Traffic by Lidl is horrendous so I'd rather walk it 😅

Yeah I don't understand why they'd block it 😅 yeah my husband just hopped over it when I sent him to get milk yesterday but don't think I'll be doing that 😅 seems a shame as when our nephews visit it'll double the time to take them to the park

Why would you walk to Lidl from Glen Easton just to get milk when there is a shop at the top of the estate?

I think your OTT in your comment there. I am not privy to what determined the actual layout (Green line) but i regret a missed opportunity to address collective safety concerns with this particular section of road. Could council and Waterways Ire. not of bolted-on / widen current bridge with a steel walkway / path (yellow scribbles) Build up new ramp on Maynooth side of bridge, install second pedestrian crossing on red line, dialed in to work in tandum with exiting ped crossing… i could speculate the newly cut path will attract anti-social behaviour and littering as its partly concealed at canal end but well see.

Hard to believe that bridge is a protected structure. You can see where it was built with quarried stone etc. but in last 50 years revised with cement blocks and a mains pipe exposed running span of train line and canal.

While I agree a second set of lights will surely improve safety here I think the design went (widely) around the issue and not thru it. But as you point out a lot of agencies would of been required to get involved, hence what we got.

And in any case I am grateful to see the overall upgrade works on the canal path be completed.
