Pavilions for Lucan clubs: At this week's Council meeting, we received an update on the Council's Pavilion Programme. I have consistently been pushing for progress on this since being elected given how crucial they are to our local clubs. The pavilions will now be delivered as a modular build programme to avoid the delays that were seen with the previous tendering process. I am very pleased to see new locations added such as Willsbrook Park, and am happy to see that installation of the new units in Griffeen will be completed by Spring 2025.
Hermitage/Ballyowen Boundary: I have requested repair works to take place on the boundry fence on Hermitage and Ballyowen estates, alongside the R136. I secured the inclusion of the trees behind Hermitage Valley and Way on the current tree maintenance programme and am keen to see the boundary maintained correctly.

78 The Orchard, Lucan
I am honoured to take up the role of Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail. I want to thank our Taoiseach Simon Harris for placing his trust in me. I came into politics from a business background and have used my platform as a TD since my election in 2020 to champion businesses and women in business.
I've worked closely with chambers of commerce, employer representative groups, trade unions as well as so many SMEs across Dublin Mid West. I would be delighted to hear from Lucan business owners with your ideas and feedback.

Grand Canal Urban Greenway delay: Unfortunately, the first phase of this project has had to be retendered so it will be October before any works commence.
Tenant-in-situ purchase scheme delays: I again highlighted the problems with this Government-funded scheme where the Council agrees to purchase properties already rented out to tenants. The long delays and lack of transparency are impacting on many purchases going through.
Sports pavilions: At long last after serious delays, SDCC has revamped its sports pavilion programme in Lucan and elsewhere with new modular builds due to commence shortly adjacent to a number of locations. For more information search ‘pavilions’ on my website.
Bus User Survey: Have your say. www.bit.ly/BusCorrect.
Peace Commissioner: A reminder that I am available to sign documents and take statutory declarations if required. Affidavits will require a solicitor, however.

Cybercrime: In July's newsletter I highlighted how criminals are tricking people into willingly transferring money to them. Following my recent public meeting on cyberfraud I brought a motion to highlight to ministers what this crime means to people in our community. I'm very pleased that the motion was overwhelmingly supported and adopted on Saturday at the Ard Fheis in Galway.
Dodsboro Cottages: blocked mains reported to SDCC. Pleased to see the council on site this week.
Cooldrinagh: footpath water ponding and accumulating debris making it difficult for pedestrians to navigate the overpass. This issue is report to the council.
