Narrow Water Bridge
We just seen this video presentation by the Narrow Water Bridge Community Network.
The presentation is a good visual guide to the connection both geographically and socially that exists all around Carlingford Lough.
It also illustrates how the lack of infrastructure has fractured this connection.
We are told that the area of Newry and Dundalk has suffered the worst economic deprivation of all the border areas from it's inception in the 1920's. The lack of investment in infrastructure has damaged the economic development of the area for us all.
Colm Meehan, the owner of the Park Hotel location in Omeath, informs us that he had sought planning application to build a new hotel with 80 rooms on this site, on the basis that the Bridge was going ahead.
This is an issue that has generated much discussion in the locality.
We would be happy to hear your thoughts on our Facebook post HERE
