"As the local councillor for the area and a parent of children who attend Bennekerry National School, I am delighted to have been involved in delivering on this project."
Cllr Browne also complimented the landowner involved, Les Purcell, and Ray Wickham of Carlow County Council for their assistance.
"Fencing and barriers will be erected shortly and the car park should be operational during June," he added.
