Castle Road /Colthurst Pedestrian Crossing: Following my highlighting of safety issues, sending representations, motions for safety audits and follow up questions, flashing beacons will be installed at the pedestrian crossing within the next two weeks. A safety audit has yet to be carried out at the beaconless pedestrian crossing at Esker Manor.
Somerton Park: Construction of a new pedestrian crossing near Tandy's Lane will begin shortly. This was on foot of your requests to me, which I passed on to SDCC, plus a resident petition calling for speed in implementation.
Village Green: Following requests from constituents, SDCC have sent me drawings of the finished village green facing South towards Courtney's. This is available on my Facebook page and website.

Dodsboro Shopping Centre: I've received several queries regarding Dodsboro Shopping Centre. The Council confirmed that the contractor is responsible for a 12-month maintenance period for planting. They are aware of issues and are pursuing a deduction from the contractor's retention to fund replanting. This process may take several weeks. Regarding the kerb height, I raised this with the Council and suggested solutions such as wheel stoppers. On litter, community members and Spar staff have carried out cleanups. I've requested further cleaning and action on overflowing bins. I'll continue to follow up and keep you informed.
Flooding Pedestrian Lights Lucan Village: Flooding at the pedestrian lights near Courtney's obstructing safe crossing of the Lucan Road is reported and the issue is now under investigation by the Area Roads Inspector. I will keep you updated as information becomes available.

Build for the Boys: I raised the need to implement early access programmes for drugs for rare diseases on the floor of the Dail recently, such as givinostat for Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, which has been highlighted by the Build for the Boys campaign.
Bollards at Kew Park: Thanks to residents who contacted me about obstructed access resulting from erection of bollards at Kew Park. I have contacted South Dublin County Council about this matter and asked for this to be addressed as soon as possible.
Clinics: I am holding an advice clinic in Ballyowen Community Centre on Monday 30 June at 1.30pm and on Monday 7 July at 1.30pm in Adamstown Community Centre. Please feel free to call 01-6184128 to make an appointment.

Dail report: This week, a week where we saw a regrettable increase in reported incidents of domestic abuse in Ireland, I raised the issue of the need to end the in-camera rule in the Children's Courts, where coercive control is exercised in an adversarial system by abusive ex-partners with deep pockets, I also mentioned the huge delays in parents waiting for court dates and then to be faced with regular cancellations. I made a further contribution on Housing, adding to suggestions made previously. In the Enterprise and EU Affairs Committees I contributed to the scrutiny of industrial policy from an environmental and sustainability perspective. I attended several presentations from organisations in the healthcare and youth sectors. I also liaised with Cllr Helen Farrell on a number of local issues.

Labyrinth Feature in our Parks: I'm glad to report that my motion to explore a labyrinth-style feature in Lucan was passed. While Vesey Park may not be suitable SDCC has committed to exploring other park locations. This feature would offer a calming reflective space that promotes mindfulness and gentle use something different and meaningful for our growing community.
Public Transport: I'm glad to report that my motion on Adamstown's transport was passed. While Adamstown's public transport is gradually developing it's now happening at Lucan's expense. Instead of standalone infrastructure Adamstown is feeding off Lucan's existing services never the SDZ vision. I've asked SDCC and the NTA to urgently commit to a direct city route and better north-south and R120 connectivity without further undermining Lucan’s already stretched public transport network and growing commuter population.

Mayor's Award for Lucan Red Cross: Lucan Red Cross received a Mayor's Award this year for their long record of service to the community. They were presented the award by the outgoing Mayor Baby Pereppadan. It was great to see the community service of Lucan Red Cross being acknowledged with a Mayor's Award. I was very pleased to introduce them at the awards and to outline their record of providing aid and support to others in Lucan and South Dublin County.
