Works are underway for a new installation at the Mockmoyne / Chapel Street junction. Concrete plinths will support the old Blackstone Single Fly-Wheel engine that generated Stewarts DC electric power for Boyle until ESB AC power became available in 1965.
Water Charges Protest March tomorrow
Tomorrow's scheduled peaceful, non-political Protest March will offer all an opportunity to voice concerns about our parasitic water supply, proposed water charges and the Boil Boyle Water situation. Online posted comments include "Enough is enough, we can't and we won't pay"
Protesters will assemble at the Council/Royal Hotel Car Park at 1.30pm for the 2pm Protest March that will coincide with similar Protests nationwide.
• Former minister for communications, energy and natural resources Pat Rabbitte has described claims that Irish Water will be privatised in years to come as a red herring. The Labour TD said no government "with its head screwed on" would seek to sell the utility to private enterprise. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Rabbitte said not enough time was allowed by the Government for the smooth establishment of Irish Water.
