At Monday's meeting of Carrick Municipal District, he will call for the council to build these playgrounds.

Sinn Féin Councillor Cormac Flynn brought a motion forward at last Monday's Leitrim County Council meeting about the issue.

Sinn Féin's Brendan Barry says the issue is forcing many people to abandon their chosen career.

The opposition also say they will invest 250 million to build capacity in the system.

Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin round out the top three.

He also wants the council to work with landowners at Cleighranmore, to improve views of the lake there too.

He was speaking following his appointment as Sinn Féin's spokesperson on agriculture this week.

It follows a reshuffle due to the departure of Kathleen Funchion, who has been elected to the European Parliament.
