Airport Link
With the Airport Hopper discontinued for quite a while and no sign of the NTA restoring it.
It's the one area that could support a new bus route from Adamstown rail station to the Airport. This would facilitate the Airport and a wide catchment area along the route for work and to other areas as well. There is a Sligo bus going to the Airport five times a day and stops at Lucan. This bus is not allowed to take on passengers at Lucan, and there are serval seats available on each bus. This route should be allowed to serve the Airport as there is no extra cost. I also discovered the X buses are not allowed to take on passengers at Lucan. An example X32 serving Leixlip Hewlett Packard won't take on passengers at Lucan on outward evening trip. This is an area that had its bus serviced removed with Bus Connects and this bus has less than ten passengers when it reaches Lucan Village. The big question is do the planners really want people to use public transport.

Lucan Drama
Lucan Drama completed another successful evening of One Acts last week where 3 new plays, all written by members of Lucan Drama had their World Premieres.
From all the cast and crew, the light and sound, the front of house all involved really enjoyed bringing these new plays to our brilliant audiences.
We would like to thank the whole team at Courtneys who, as always, pulled out all the stops to help us get the shows on the stage.
And, of course, to everyone involved with the Lucan Newsletter for all their help and support.
We are working on lots of plans for the next few months and we look forward to bringing more drama to your Doorstep.

Lucan Tidy Towns Fund Raiser
A very enjoyable evening was had last Friday night in Carroll's Gastro Pub.
This was a fundraiser for Lucan Tidy Towns generously hosted by manager, Donal Walsh. We were delighted with the amount and quality of sponsorship which was donated. We wish to thank all our sponsors, both local businesses and public representatives. We also want to thank the many people who supported our raffle. And a big thank you to Michael Harmen and his team, 3 lovely nieces, who organised the fundraising raffle, including obtained prizes.
We raised just short of 500 euro on the night. We are still in discussion as to how to put this to the best use. Be assured that all funding will be used to enhance our village and surrounds.
