County waste plan 'dumped' by EPA
The matter is unlikely to help the currently strained relations between the top officials and the councillors in Kildare County Council. In recent months officials have been forced to back down on a number of management proposals, including a proposed charge for waivers and an increase in differential rents. A spokesman for Kildare County Council said today that they 'have no comment to make' in advance of next Monday's meeting, when the matter will be put before the councillors. |

Snooker providing top entertainmentKILL, 23 March 2000: by Trish Whelan. The Benson & Hedges Irish Irish Masters which is taking place in Goffs in Kill this week, continues to prove a top attraction for Irish snooker fans, with the top eight players in the world competing. However there was some disappointment last night when Dubliner Ken Doherty lost to Matthew Stevens by 6-4. Stevens was making his first appearance in the tournament. Doherty, who had the highest break of the match with 108 in the fifth frame, later said he was disappointed not to have performed better in front of his home fans. In yesterdays afternoon match, Jimmy White knocked out Stephen Lee 6-4 to reach the quarter finals and now faces World No 1 John Higgins on Friday night. White has rated Goffs as the third best venue in the world. In the first match of the tournament on Tuesday, Irishman Fergal OBrien went down 6-4 to Scotsman Alan McManus who had the biggest break of the match with 122. In the evening match John Parrott easily defeated Steve Davis 5-1. It was the first time for Davis ever to go out in the first round. Today sees World No 3 Mark Williams in action against John Parrott and World No 2 Stephen Hendry taking on Alan McManus. |

Go green in your garden!
Dear Editor, If anybody is fuelled to be green and save money by the report on composting (ED: KNN's lead story yesterday), people should note that compost bins can be bought from Kildare County Council. Last time I was out at the dump on the Kilcullen Road, they were available for sale from there. Now that people and residents associations are about to start gardening in force they might think of these. |

Row in council over rent increase proposal
Later, Deputy Stagg said it WAS a policy issue and was similar to the recently proposed £20 hike on domestic refuse charges which the councillors had objected to. He said the loss to the council over the year wouldnt be even noticed. He said the officials responsible should bring it back to the drawing board and should bring those on the lower rate category down to a minimum rent of £5. |

Many objections to proposed Naas town centre developmentNAAS, 21 March 2000: by Trish Whelan. There have been strong objections from local residents to a proposal by Baba Exports Ltd to build a multistorey car park together with retail, office and residential buildings in Naas town centre. A decision on the application has been deferred until April 12. The secretary of The Sycamores Residents Association, P Brosnan, objecting on behalf of the association, says the residents frequently encounter difficulty in exiting from the estate because of the traffic build-up on the Sallins Road. He says that the increased volume and direction of the traffic directed towards the Sallins Road by the development will result in even greater chaos and danger. Are we to become prisoners in our own estate? he asks.

'No concern' for drystone wall craftsmanshipNAAS, 20 March 2000: by Brian Byrne & Trish Whelan. The demolition of a stone wall around the Naas Canal Harbour during the current pedestrianisation works has been sharply criticised by local historian Ger McCarthy. He says the dry stone wall was an increasingly-rare example of its type in the town and should have been preserved. The matter of a wall or safety railing around the harbour has been a matter of strong controversy in the area in recent months.
