Kfm understands that one of the first meetings will be held between OPW Minister Kevin Boxer Moran and the Castletown Residents' Association at 12.30pm.

Anne Marie Blessing, who is part of the Castletown Residents' Association, told Kfm that she was initially surprised that the meetings were being held separately but "hopefully " everyone has an opportunity to get their points across.
