Community safety: I had a very constructive conversation with the local Garda Superintendent this week. We discussed the roll-out of high visibility across the Lucan and Ronanstown Garda district, including Lucan village. I was informed that Operation Irene is being rolled across our area, which involves Gardaí on mountain bikes on high visibility patrols in our public parks and other public spaces. I also shared feedback about locations which would benefit from Operation Irene patrols.

School Warden Service: Following requests for school warden provision at Gaelscoil Naomh Padraig, this is currently under review. If required thresholds (15+ unaccompanied under 12s) are met, further measures may be considered, including technical solutions, a school warden (subject to staffing), or active travel supports. I will keep you updated as the review progresses.
Lucan House Signage: Following confusion around which entrance to use at Lucan House during opening hours of 11am to 7pm on Saturdays & Sundays, I raised this with the Council. A request was sent to review and update signage, including clearer direction to use the Leixlip Road entrance adjacent to AIB.
Dodsboro Road / Tandy's Lane: I raised the issue of repairs to the damaged ramp at the traffic lights at Dodsboro Cottages. The Council confirmed that repairs are scheduled to be carried out in June.

Lucan Village Businesses: We now have strong data from village businesses, following my recent meeting with them and SDCC Economic Development, informing the SDCC social media campaign promoting village traders during the summer. Village traffic flow has improved, with traffic lights at the Methodist Church using sensors. The green is being used by all age-groups and at all times of the day and evening, in a positive way.
Recent Improvements: After I sent in multiple representations about the serious potholes on Lucan Bridge, they were repaired last week; great to finally see this happen. Wonderful to see the replacement of the former wooden fence at Hermitage Park with a proper wall. Two constituents requested this, early 2025, and I made representations on their behalf to SDCC asking for a substantial wall.
