That Meath County Council explores the feasibility of ensuring a full length path from Johnstown to Navan town via Athlumney Castle. Athlumney Castle has become a thoroughfare to Navan Town from Johnstown and so can have a lot of pedestrians going through, however, there is no pathway at one stage so people either have to walk on the grass or more often they walk on the road which is an accident waiting to happen. A safe pathway would remedy this problem.

This Council will write to the Minister outlining our concern at the repercussions of a recent court case which directed that homeowners could not take insolvency deal appeals in their own name to the District Court, but instead submit appeals in the name of a PIP. This has in effect restored the Banks veto on whether they accept insolvency deals with distressed homeowners, and made the current Abhaile Scheme not fit for purpose. This crucial change will force many homeowners into bankruptcy and homelessness / Go scríobhfadh an Chomhairle chuig an Aire ag déanamh breac-chuntas ar ár n-imní maidir le drochthorthaí chás cúirte le déanaí a dheimhnigh nach féidir le úinéirí tí achomhairc ar mhargaidh dhóchmainneachta ina n-ainmneacha féin a thabhairt go dtí an Chúirt Dúiche, ach achomhairc a chur isteach in ainm PIP ina n-áit.
