The Office of Public Works carried out works in 2002 on behalf of Kildare County Council on both the Lyreen and Meadowbrook rivers in the Maynooth area. Works on the Lyreen-Joan Slade river commenced at the point where it crosses the Royal Canal and continued downstream through Maynooth. Any queries relating to maintenance of these channels should be directed to the local authority, as the Office of Public Works has no responsibility for maintenance of the Lyreen and Meadowbrook rivers.
