Longford County Council bought the site and it has been subject to renovation works since 2022.

The works would also consist of the development of a green open space, as well as boundary fences and walls.

This year, County Veterinarian Michael King said numbers, while still high, are slowly returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The Battery Road and the Ballinalee/Major Well's Road in Longford have been subject to resurfacing works since August.

Events at the festival are to include a Fire and Shadow Procession and bonfire show on Halloween night.

The development at the Commons North Lime Quarry would consist of permanent tiered seating for 500 people, a stage with a steel support structure and a canvas canopy.

The Fianna Fail Councillor says he will be examining his position on the LCSP committee if adequate resources are not allocated.

The development will consist of a new single-story extension consisting of a two-classroom special needs unit, and a new standalone two-storey gym building.
