Euroclinic: Thank you to MEP Regina Doherty for hosted a EuroClinic in Kennys of Lucan this week. As Ireland prepares to take on the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, it was an important opportunity to discuss it and what it means for us.

Annual Lucan Mallard Duck Release: Huge well done to Paul and David from Lucan Game Association where children got to meet the ducklings before they were released into the river at Lucan Village last weekend.

Working with Cllr Tanya McDonald

St Edmundsbury: St Edmundsbury is a very special and unique place. It should be preserved as part of the wider Liffey Valley. I fully support my FF colleague Cllr Tanya McDonald's motion to maintain the current zoning. I argued for the same in my own submission which is available here( https://www.shanemoynihan.ie/submission-on-proposed-variation-no-2-south-dublin-county-development-plan-2022-2028/)and I will be encouraging my colleagues to back Cllr McDonald's motion.

Cathaoirleach nua ar an gCoiste Gaeilge: Is pribhleid dom e a bheith ceaptha ag an Taoiseach mar Chathaoirleach ar an gComhchoiste Oireachtais don Ghaeilge, don Ghaeltacht agus do Phobal Labhartha na Gaeilge. The Irish language is an important part of my life, and I am very much looking forward to working with my colleagues on the Committee to promote the language.

Working to protect St. Edmundsbury: Per my May Lucan Newsletter update, I submitted a cross-party motion, working in collaboration with Cllr Vickie Casserly, Cllr Joanna Tuffy, and Cllr Tanya McDonald, to reject the proposed residential zoning and retain the current High Amenity zoning. I worked consistently with colleagues in FG and cross party to oppose the proposed residential zoning and strengthen support for retaining the lands as High Amenity. The motion will be considered at the Special Meeting of South Dublin County Council this Friday, 19 June. I will update you on the outcome following the Council vote this Friday.

Dodsboro Road: I confirm that yellow boxes are now in place at the junction of Millstream Road and Dodsboro Road following my raising your concerns at the January Traffic Management Meeting. Thank you to residents who raised the issue.

Lucan Lions: Delighted to accept an award on behalf of the Adamstown Sister Shed at the Lucan Lions Awards. This generous donation will help support the group's work within the community. We are grateful to Lucan Lions for their continued support. Congratulations to all recipients honoured on the night.

St Edmundsbury: I was delighted to stand alongside hundreds of local residents at the recent peaceful protest to protect the St Edmundsbury Lands. The turnout demonstrated the strength of feeling within our community and the value people place on protecting this unique area. It was a privilege to work alongside such a dedicated committee whose hard work helped make the event a success and demonstrated the strength of community spirit. The peaceful and respectful atmosphere reflected the strong community spirit that continues to unite residents across Lucan.
