Our Team

What exactly is the definition of community?

Local News

In an article in the American Journal of Community Psychology the term ‘community’ has been defined as ‘ A feeling that members have of belonging, a feeling that members matter to one another and to the group,’ We in this country are famous worldwide for our caring attitude and nature towards each other and to others and at no time is that more obvious than in summertime when a lot of our community/ voluntary and sporting organisations take part in lots of charity fundraising activities. These we at ‘Locals’ magazines not only promote but actively support. Based on our many years experiences in our communities we recognise that there are many therapeutic benefits to community activities not only in a monetary sense but in the sense of well being and belonging. Community is not only about residency of an area, village or town, but also about supporting each other whether thats caring for a neighbour or shopping locally as well as playing your part in the local charitable/ voluntary and sporting organisations. It is also about integrating in activities which not only benefit you and your family but those of your neighbours and friends as well. We as a community based magazine are committed to promoting all such activities and none more so than at this time of the year. At present we all are experiencing rising prices as internationally fuel prices rise and the war in Ukraine raises grain prices amongst other things.

However one thing seems to be obvious which is that local service suppliers and retailers are not only striving to keep prices low and offer value for money as they did during the heyday of the pandemic but also are showing in a practical sense what it is to be a part of a community. As the phsychologists article also said we have - ‘ a shared faith that members’ needs will be met through commitment to be together.’ It is that commitment that strengthens and binds our residents across Fingal into the wonderful ‘community’ we have today. Please have a great July and keep supporting our local suppliers, retailers and charitable voluntary and sporting organisations.

O’Donoghue praises submissions on the New Fingal Development Plan The public consultation for the new development plan closed last month with 1,946 individual submissions made my stakeholders and members of the public to Fingal County Council. Speaking on the matter Cllr Rob O’Donoghue welcomed the large number of submissions from the member of the public from the Rush-Lusk electoral area however, there were a number of issues of concerns he had regarding the large number of submissions relating to land rezoning in the area. He stated ‘that it is my belief that Lusk as a town, needs to consolidate and settle for the duration of the new Development Plan, between the census in 2002 and 2016 the town has grown in population by 217%, by far the largest growth of all the sustainable growth towns in the North County.

We have legacy issues with the provision of the social

dividend in relation to taking in-charge Lusk Village and the green space associated with The Forge estate which have dragged on for years and need to be prioritised for the provision of amenities for the towns residents and clubs.’ “He continued, to date, in the previous stage of the Development Plan I have fought off attempts from Councillors outside of the electoral area to rezone land in the Rush-Lusk area particularly between the towns of Lusk and Rush. It is with disappointment that I read submissions made seeking large land rezonings in the towns hinterland which would radically alter the character of the town. I can assure the people of Lusk that I will oppose any such proposals that are brought forward at the final phase of the Development Plan later in the year.”

The Very Least That You Should Know

By Dave Kavanagh During a consultation with new clients recently, I asked if they had serious illness cover in place. They said that they did. When I asked for the details, they were unsure so searched for their policy details. It turned out that they had PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) and misinterpreted the word “illness” somewhere in the description. They did not have serious illness cover. (The PPI “might” have paid out a few hundred euro towards their mortgage payment if the person covered was out of work due to illness or injury and only after a 2 month period and then stopped after 12 months, whereas serious illness cover can pay out a tax free lump sum on diagnosis of one of the conditions covered). It was yet another reminder that most people do not know the important details of plans that they pay regularly for. As people’s circumstances change, it’s important to be up to date with knowing what you are actually paying for. Here is the very least that you should know about any protection plans that you have in place: Life Cover: How much cover is there? When does it expire? Is it dual or joint? Does it have a conversion option? Is it level, increasing or decreasing? How much does it cost?

Income Protection: What is the deferred period? (The length of time you have to be off

work due to illness or injury before payments commence). What level of cover do I have? Up to what age will payments continue if I could never return to work again? How much does it cost?

Have I claimed my tax relief ? (I.P. premiums are tax deductible).

Serious Illness Cover: A.K.A. Critical Illness Cover or Specified Illness Cover. What level of cover do I have? Is it stand alone or accelerated cover? Is it dual or joint? When does it expire? Do I have the option to extend cover without further medical evidence? If you don’t know those details, it’s time to get out the paperwork and find out.

You’ll be glad you did.

Glenn Matthews - Artist at Ardgillan Castle

by Carina Cunningham The second of our resident artists from Ardgillan Castle is a blow in from up north via Spain. A popart, portrait artist, Glenn is originally from the leafy suburbs of Belfast but is delighted to find himself in the magnificent setting of Studio 27, Ardgillan Castle. His work has been described as “Precision Impressionism” with the author continuing: “Glenn is impressionistic as he breaks figures down into blocks of colour...

close up almost abstraction but as you step away the blocks flow together to form the subject in the most precise way possible. A modern day technical Monet” His collectors include Donal Gallagher, brother of the late, great Rory Gallagher, and Steve Garrigan, Kodaline front man. Proud to have pieces all over the world he continues to develop his craft with local galleries as well as representation in Milan, Italy where, with help from the Fingal Arts Office, he has plans to exhibit this September. Having recently

been sponsored to paint in Cannes, France Glenn will also be flying off to Miami later this year for an installation of three pieces produced for the biggest Realtor Association in the USA. If we can keep him in the country long enough his studio is well worth a visit. Original pieces, limited edition prints and various pieces of work in progress are always on show. Or find him on-line on the links glennmatthewsart.com or instagram.com/glenn. matthews.art.

It’s never too late to improve your health

Ciaran Russell There are 6 months gone in 2022, already! I have 6 simple ways for you to get back on track with your health goals and make some progress toward achieving them by the end of this year.

My advice here is to implement these over the course of July and not all at once. If you try to go all-in at the start of the month, you may get overwhelmed and give up, leaving you back at the start again.First, start keeping a food diary.

Not with the aim of reducing what you’re eating straight away but to create awareness of what food and how much of it you are consuming.

Include everything you eat and drink. Then at the 10 LUSK LOCAL-JULY 2022

end of the first week take some time to read it.

Next, increase your water intake. Being hydrated is very important for many bodily functions and will improve your energy levels. Get a water bottle and keep it beside you all the time. Aim for 1 litre of water for every 25kg that you weigh.Then start to walk more. You don’t have to hits 10,000 steps a day but gradually increase your step count from where it is now.Next, start taking a look at your sleep. Aim for at least 7 hours per night. And if you want 7 hours you’ll probably have to give yourself an 8-hour window to get it. Once you’ve implemented these 4 habits, then you can start to look at exercise and protein. Find some sort of exercise you enjoy doing and do it 2-4 times per

week. Whether it’s going to the gym, playing a sport or something else. Do something you find challenging and gets your heart rate up. Protein is generally not eaten enough by most people.

Things like greek yoghurt, eggs, lean meat, beans & lentils and fish. If you are over 60, 1.2 grams per kg of body weight would suffice. However, if you are younger and are exercising regularly, especially in the gym you should aim for between 1.6g - 2.2g of protein per kg of bodyweight. If nothing else taking care of the first 4 things above will have a big impact on how you feel and your health.Follow me on Instagram for more tips for simplifying weight loss and improving fitness, @ ciaranrussellcoaching.

Wondering how to keep the children busy this summer?

By Siobhan O’Neill White Are you wondering how to keep the children busy this summer? Check out our outdoor & indoor activity recommendations here on mams. ie. On sunny days, explore the Japanese gardens, get up close to world class thoroughbreds, enjoy the children’s play area, fairy trail and fantastic restaurant at The Irish National Stud. Learn the history of the Vikings with a trip to Dublinia, it’s fun and educational. SkyPark Carlingford is brilliant for adventurous families. Climbing walls, zipwires, archery, footgolf and more. I bravely did their biggest zipwire (amidst much screaming), while my children cheered me on! Great family fun and Carlingford is so beautiful, why not stay over at the Four Seasons hotel nearby.Planning a daytrip to the beach? Please only visit beaches with lifeguards and stay close to shore. Older children may think it safe to swim out, but please

explain that invisible dangerous currents can pull swimmers under quickly, so always keep your children in your eyeline. My daughters were playing in the sea last year when my youngest stepped in a hole in the sand, and the seawater immediately came up to her neck. We got her out quickly, but it was a stark reminder that the sea is dangerous and unpredictable, so please be careful.On rainy days, there’s lots to do at home.

Origami sounds tricky but is quite easy. Our son spent hours doing Origami with his late Nanna, creating treasured memories. You can pick up child friendlyOrigami kits from The Works Stores Ilac SC. Another fun indoor activity is collecting and paintingstones or seashells. It takes hours for the kids to wash, dry and paint the stones/shells and all you need is child friendly paint and lots of newspaper underneath!Decorating their bedroom is a fun project for children. Let them get creative picking paint colours and accessories, like

cushions and throws. We love the personalised wall and door stickers from MyNameTags.ie - a cost effective way to give bedrooms a new look!

The Arc Cinema Drogheda has parent & baby movie mornings running where you can bring your baby/toddler into the movie. Lights are dimmed, sound lowered and there is space for buggies.Contact siobhan@mumstown.ie to be added to mailing list. They also do a great deal for family cinema visits; 2 adults & 2 children, or (1 adult and 3 children), get movie entry, popcorn, sweets and drinks for €39.95. Great value, especially if you are on a budget. mams.ie Shortlisted for Golden Spider Award & Infant & Maternity Award. As seen on RTE and Virgin Media Ireland & Weekend AM.

By Jack Shanley Over 30 years since it was originally made, Martin Scorsese kicked off the ‘90s by making arguably his third masterpiece. I write about ‘Goodfellas’ following the sad passing of Ray Liotta who shone like a diamond in the movie, screened recently at the Lighthouse Cinema. Liotta’s impeccable performance as Henry Hill will forever be remembered as one of the great gangster performances in cinema history. ‘Goodfellas’, an adaptation of the book ‘Wiseguy’, written by Nicholas Pileggi, is a fast-paced crime drama about a gangster lifestyle we don’t ever see but only hear about. It is gripping from start to finish. Even the opening titles, moving fast from one side of the screen to the other, are dubbed with the sound of cars racing by, symbolising how relentless the gangster lifestyle truly is. ‘Goodfellas’ is so fast paced we see nine freeze frames throughout, highlighting important moments, and slowing the film down to give the audience a chance to catch its breath.

Thelma Schoonmaker’s editing is utterly brilliant with match cuts used from scene to scene to keep the momentum going.We also see 204 tracking shots which are used to take us through entire buildings instead of shooting a scene in just one room. One example is the famous date scene where Henry takes Karen through the restaurant kitchen to skip the long queue outside.

‘Goodfellas’ is one of my favourite Scorsese movies. Even if you watch the opening ten minutes, you’ll end up watching the entire film. It flies by so fast, like life itself. Throughout we feel many different emotions, from the highs to the lows, and these characters are just people passing through life before it’s all over in an instant. I’ll give ‘Goodfellas’ a score of five stars.

You can watch ‘Goodfellas’ on sky cinema or buy it at Tower Records €7.99. Director: Martin Scorsese – Rating: R - Genre: Crime/Drama Run Time: 2h 26m Language: English. For more film content please follow @ movies4fanatics on Instagram.

Graduation from Ireland’s only football focussed TY course

11 of the students graduating from the Fingal TY Fitness and Football Course class of ‘22 have received an international cap for Ireland this year

Former TY graduate and now Ireland Under-21 and Motherwell star Ross Tierney joined Republic of Ireland assistant manager Keith Andrews at the graduation

Fingal County Council and the Football Association of Ireland have recently celebrated the graduation of the class of ’22 on the Football and Fitness TY Course, a joint collaboration based at the Corduff Sports Centre. The only course of its kind in Ireland, Football and Fitness has welcomed the latest graduation of its TY students, providing them with the opportunity to meet their educational requirements whilst also developing a whole range of football, fitness and life skills.The 25 TY students from across Fingal received their certificates in front of an audience that included senior members of the FAI, Fingal County Council officials and those involved in the day-to-day running of the programme.

latest cohort was Republic of Ireland assistant manager Keith Andrews. He was there alongside Ireland Under-21 and Motherwell star Ross Tierney, who graduated from the TY course in 2017 whilst also playing for Bohemians.

While football remains a central focus of the joint Fingal County Council and FAI initiative, students participating in the course also benefit from gaining a highly sought after full Fitness Instructor’s qualification from Litton Lane Training. They also undertake the FAI’s Coach Education pathway that gives them PDP1 and PDP2 qualifications, as well as a gym instructor qualification.Deputy Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Daniel Whooley praised the commitment of the new

TY graduates and that of the coaching staff: FAI Course coordinator Denis Hyland stated: “This is the sixth year of the course and it has gone from strength to strength. This year they also had an opportunity to gain insights from current Ireland and Everton captain Séamus Coleman, who took the time to share his knowledge and experience as a professional player.Since launching in 2016, the TY course has been run in the Dublin 15 area of Fingal, with Corduff Sports Centre providing a base for the various aspects the course involves.

Another important element of the course sees the students giving back some of their new founds skills by conducting lessons at schools and with community groups across Fingal.
