Lucan bins overflowing: The roster for the bin route in Lucan has recently been adjusted. Following representations, I have been assured that the issue of any bins being missed on this route has now been addressed. Community feedback is valuable and welcome. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any issues you observe.
Additional School Accommodation: I was very pleased that St Mary’s Boys National School’s application for additional school accommodation has been approved. 4 Mainstream Classrooms, 3 Special Education Teaching Classes, 2 Special Education Needs Bases and a User Assisted Toilet have been approved to be added to the school as part of the Building Works Programme. The School Building Programme remains a top priority in our area where demand for primary and post primary places have increased year on year.

Cost Of Living Protest: The cost of living protest last Saturday was well attended. Inflation in May was 7.8% the highest increase in 38 years. Heating oil by 101%, electricity by 41%, rents by 11% and basic food stuffs like bread, milk and butter by 10%. This is obviously unsustainable and the government need to do more than some of the measures they have introduced. Up to March a worker on an average full time wage was down 2500 euro in spending power but it’s now estimated that you could be out of pocket by 3500 euro a year as prices keep going up. Nearly a third of household are now in fuel poverty. More targeted measures are needed particularly those that find themselves in fuel poverty which will be acute this winter.
