Dail report: This week at the EU Affairs Committee we discussed the findings of the latest opinion poll on European Union membership, while at the Enterprise, Tourism and Economic Development Committee there were meetings on the revised estimates and the auditing of company reporting. My Dail contributions included monitoring prices in supermarkets and the need to streamline the Garda vetting process.
Esker Cemetery Columbarium: Good to see the installation of walls and hard landscaping completed. Soft landscaping will follow in the autumn when planting conditions are more suitable. The final detail on the administration and management of the walls is currently being developed and it is hoped that the facility will be available for use in the coming months. There are five walls with 20 niches in each wall.

Women's Collective Ireland: I was delighted to be able to welcome the wonderful women of Women's Collective Ireland (Lucan) to Leinster House this week. This group is a very special set of people, and it was great to spend some time with them.
Playing pitches and facilities: I raised the acute shortage of playing spaces and pitches for team sports in the Lucan area on the floor of the Dail this week. There is a commitment to a playing pitches and facilities fund in the Programme for Government, which I will be pursuing to ensure it is realised.
Clinics: I am holding an advice clinic in Ballyowen Community Centre on Friday 18 June at 2pm. Please feel free to call 01-6184128 to make an appointment.
