Source-backed description
A source-backed record distinct from the existing Motion 2861 episode. It follows the 24 February, 26 May and 23 June 2025 Kilmoyler funding questions in the Cahir–Cashel Municipal District minutes. The records refer to Climate and Flood Relief Funding and later to alleviating flooding; they do not establish personal intent, a bridge link, a funding diversion, or a trade-off with bridge rehabilitation. The May minute separately records John O’Heney’s safety request after a recent tragic incident. This page asks what inspection information, funding decisions, repair requests and completion records remain needed. Factual record. No finding of causation or responsibility is made here.
