Lusk Local V8I9-APR 2023

Spring is officially here and brighter days are ahead

Spring this year officially came into existence on March 20th and as ever it brought all sorts of good things. Yes, his month we will celebrate Easter with its Christian connotations for many here and lots of chocolate eggs for the kids and adults alike. However Spring also brings forth rebirth in all things. Lambs in the fields, other animals giving birth to their young and the flowers blossoming, It is a wonderful and wondrous time for farmers and gardeners alike. So too, it is a time to shed the gloom of winter as house wives and house husbands begin the spring clean and thoughts roam to spring breaks and planning the summer holidays. Retailers and wholesalers alike are bringing forth new and exciting products for us to buy at keenest rates. For the community/voluntary/sporting and charitable sector it means AGM’s, and pre planning for events and competitions. So you see its not only about rebirth in the sense of actual birth, it is about rejuvenation, rebuilding and reinvigorating ourselves and all of those groups and organisations in whatever sector they are. The old saying ‘Fail to plan and you plan to fail’ is I am sure particularly prevalent in the thoughts of many committees at this time. So you see Springtime gives us the opportunity to improve things both as individuals, families or as groups or organisations. It is a time to review and reshape our lives and those of our groups for the better. A time to put the past behind us and realise that change can be exciting, necessary and create better days for both the individual and the group whether that is in your home life or in the voluntary sector. At this time let us all note the mistakes of the past but plan for better things to come and look forward to the warm sun on our backs and brighter days ahead, In the meantime remember to shop local for those Easter eggs, cakes, and other items for your Easter celebrations. Happy Springtime and Easter to you all!.

The Locals Team.

LAG welcomes new Town Centre First officer for Lusk

We announced some very good news for Lusk at our AGM in March. This came following our Lusk Vision 2030 meeting the previous week. The new Town Centre First officer in Fingal County Council has been appointed to Lusk. We will be now engaging with FCC on a monthly basis, in a structure similar to “Our Balbriggan”. Balbriggan has received Millions of Euro in funding for various projects under this structure and it has proven to be very successful. There will be 3 “pillar” groups, which will consist of a member of FCC and members of our own 2030 committee and chaired by a Councillor. The pillars will be community, business and public realm. The business pillar will be formed with members of the business community and will be chaired by Cllr Brian Dennehy, Cllr Rob O’Donoghue will chair community and Cllr Cathal Boland will chair public realm. There will be a steering group, with FCC executives and a representative from the 2030 group. After what has been a very lengthy process, we will finally be in a very positive position, able to drive forward our Lusk Vision 2030 plan, with the huge benefit of having regular engagement with FCC, better forward planning and excellent access to funding streams. Conor Doyle has stepped away from our LAG committee to focus on other commitments. We wouldlike to thank him for his contribution and hard work over the past three years and we wish him the very best. Veronica Gibson is replaced by Alexander Voronov as treasurer. We would like to thank Veronica for her hard work and support over the last 2 years. She will remain on our LAG committee.FCC have implemented road changes, including pedestrian lights, path changes, speed bumps and

bollards on the Rathmore Road. We would like to thank RALET and the parents committee for their work in the delivery of these “Safe Routes to School” changes. This has made a huge difference to road safety in this area. If you would like to request AGM minutes, email us at luskactiongroup@ gmail.com.

Work begins on construction of 62 new homes in Rush

The first sod has been turned on a new development in Fingal which will see the delivery of much needed affordable and social housing in one of Ireland’s fastest growing regions. Situated in the coastal town of Rush, the Hayestown development will consist of 62 homes, comprising a mix of 2- and 3-bedroom properties. Joining Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Howard Mahony for the ground breaking ceremony was the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD, the Chief Executive of Fingal County Council, AnnMarie Farrelly and local Councillors. The new housing – on a site approximately six acres in size - will be a welcome addition for those looking to have an opportunity to purchase their own home. Once completed, there will be 38 three-bedroom houses, 10 twobedroom houses, seven three-bedroom duplexes and seven two-bedroom apartments on offer. The mixed tenure Hayestown development will be made up of 80% affordable housing and 20% social housing.To allow for less energy demand on the power grid, the homes will be built to ensure high energy performance standards are met. That will incorporate technologies such as ground source heat pumps that will help reduce energy bills. The development will also make the most of its natural surrounds by incorporating a riparian zone around a stream, with trees featuring to help form a beautiful open public space. Some €3.9m in government funding has been made available

for the development under the Affordable Housing Fund (AHF), which will allow for the construction of 52 affordable homes as part of the project. The AHF is a subsidy which is available to local authorities such as Fingal County Council to help with housing development costs. It enables local authorities to make affordable

homes available to purchase or rent at prices and rents below market rates. The homes available at the new development will be advertised on the Council’s website in the coming months, with construction expected to be completed in the first half of 2024.

A new development will deliver 62 affordable and social homes to the seaside town of Rush

Why Your Application Could Be Declined

By Dave Kavanagh

When applying for mortgage approval, there are several factors that the lenders take into account when considering your application. The three main ones are, Multiples of Salary, Net Disposable Income and Proven Ability to Repay. Until recently, the standard guideline for the maximum borrowing permitted, was 3.5 x gross annual income. Since the start of this year, this was increased to 4 x income for first time buyers. However, with interest rates on the increase, at least one lender has already adjusted other criteria for applicants seeking to apply for the increased multiple. One of the factors adjusted, is the second one, Net Disposable Income. This refers to how much applicants will have left over after paying their mortgage each month, to cover all of the other essentials. This differs from lender to lender, but also depends on the family dynamic. For example, a couple or individual with no children will not be expected to need as much as those with perhaps, 3 children, due to the increased cost of living for those children. The last of the main criteria examined is Proven Ability to Repay. For example, if the proposed mortgage repayment is €1,500 per month, the lender will usually “stress test” this repayment by calculating what the figure would be if rates increased by 2% (often not done if people opt for

a fixed rate). So they may be looking for evidence that a figure of €1750 is affordable. This could be illustrated by regular savings, rent, or loan repayments on a loan about to be cleared, or a combination of all. Advance planning can give you a much higher probability of getting approval by considering these factors. Obviously, there are many other factors to consider, such as how you conduct your current accounts and how much you have saved. For first time buyers, at least 10% of the purchase price is required, while for non first time buyers, at least 20% deposit is required. One often overlooked consideration, is to make sure that you qualify for mortgage protection, so this is something to look at in the early stage to make sure it would not be an obstacle to finalising an application.

O’Donoghue welcomes Town Centre First for Lusk

At this months Area Committee meeting Lusk was officially chosen as the first town in Fingal to be selected for the Town Centre First project. Town Centre First aims to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit while also functioning as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community. Cllr O’Donoghue welcomed this development and stated, ‘there has been a lot of work in the last two years with the Luck Community Councils production of the ‘Lusk for Life – Vision 2030’ document and the 2030 committee which looks at improving the liveability for people in Lusk, the Town Centre First project will adapt and expand on the research already

completed to drive change in the town.’The Town Centre First Project will consist of three pillars which the project will focus on, (1.) Community, (2). Business & Economy and (3.) The Public Realm. The local community will work closely with officials from Fingal County Council and outside stakeholders to improve all three areas. O’Donoghue continued, ‘Irish towns are facing significant challenges that require a coordinated and comprehensive response. This is a beginning of a process that has the potential to provide much needed facilities and develop a truly integrated heart in the town for Lusk and I look forward to engaging with the community and other stakeholders in the coming months.’

Lusk Heritage Group -unusual picture explained

by Aidan Arnold

This unusual picture was taken at Rogerstown Estuary, Newhaggard, Lusk, in the early 1900s, on the land running along the river from Blake’s Cross to what was Balleally Landfill and is now known as Rogerstown Park. The big man with the beard is Nathaniel Hone and the other gentleman is his Brother Herbert who owned about 600 acres there until it was taken over by the Land Commission in 1935 and divided up between local farmers. Nathaniel Hone “the Younger” (Dublin, 1831 – 1917) was a well

known member of a wealthy landed family and the great grand-nephew of another famous artist, Nathaniel Hone (“the Elder”), who lived from 1718 to 1784. Nathaniel the younger married Magdalen Jameson of the family of distillers in 1872. He studied art in Paris and was primarily recognised for his landscape paintings. He lived on the family estate in Malahide where he created hundreds of watercolour drawings of the sea and sands. In 1892 he helped to set up the Malahide Golf Club. Following his death in 1917, his wife gave approximately 500 oil paintings and nearly 900 of his watercolours to the National Gallery of Ireland.

LUSK COMMUNITY NETWORK – Where to find the grant information

Fingal wants to hear about the unsung heroes making a difference

Be it washing a neighbour’s windows, mowing someone’s grass, picking up medicines each week or caring for the environment, Fingal County Council wants to hear about what extraordinary lengths people have gone to in their local area as they look to help others.

We know there is a remarkable amount of thoughtful consideration going on, and now we want to recognise those individuals with a heart of gold as part of our Mayor’s Community Champions Awards 2023. That is why we are calling on everyone to share with us the stories of what is being done and for nominations to be put forward for consideration by an independent panel of experts.

Announcing the focus of this year’s awards, Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Howard Mahony said: “I am constantly amazed by the incredible amount

of volunteer work undertaken by so many people across Fingal. From cleaning a neighbour’s house, to looking after someone’s garden, running errands or planting trees, the County is exceptionally fortunate to have people going to such extraordinary lengths to truly make a difference to the lives of others.

“Now, we want to find, acknowledge and honour the achievements of these unsung heroes who work so selflessly by asking the people of Fingal to join us as we say Hands Up for Community Champions.”

This year we are keen to recognise those working tirelessly in so many locations and in varied roles. These are people making a positive contribution to their local community and are inspiring others to do the same. They could be an older person proving that age is not a barrier

to giving back to others, somebody who is helping make a positive impact on sports or the environment in their local area, or someone whose dedication to Irish is raising the profile of the language throughout Fingal.

Whatever it is, these inspirational individuals are enhancing the lives of others across the County and we want to hear their story. Nominations are now open and can be made at any time up until 5pm on Thursday 20th April. Details on the Mayor’s Awards and how to nominate someone can be found via the Council’s website: https://www.fingal.ie/mayorsawards-2023. Community Champions will be announced at a special gala dinner on 1 June. Learn more about the Mayor’s Awards here: https://youtu.be/LkrL8sPCGjE

Niamh’s Nutty Caramel and Chocolate Crunch Cake

Going completely indulgent for this one but enjoying food is one of the many great pleasures in life and one of the few things we still have to enjoy during the current pandemic lockdown.Also this might be a scrumptious recipe to try over the Easter and especially f there is lots of chocolate around!! No baking required and although there may seem like quite a few steps, it’s just because there are a few different layers. This means all the more mixing bowls and spoons to lick clean after!!! Have fun, happy making and sharing!! Beannachtaí na Cásca oraibh.

Please follow ‘Biabites’ on Facebook for other food ideas especially in the ‘Fun food’ and ‘Recipes’ albums.Please follow @BiaBites on twitter. For nutrition talks/workshops at events or in schools/workplaces/community groups= please email:niamh@biabites.netNiamh Arthurs BSc, Msc Registered Dietitian and Researcher.

Ingredients:

• 600g dark chocolate digestive biscuits

• 300g butter

• 75g peanuts

• 100g dark chocolate

For the caramel:

• 75g caster sugar

• 120g butter

• 400g (approx-397g is fine!!) tin sweetened condensed milk

• 1 tablespoon golden syrup

{Alternatively for convenience, use a 400g tin (OR 397g as available in shops) of caramel.}

Method:

Grease or pre-line a non-stick springform based tin.To make the biscuit base: place the biscuits in a strong bag that can be tied and can withstand the force of a rolling pin!

(I use an empty breakfast cereal bag). Bash the biscuits using a rolling pin or other utensils until they form fine crumbs.Alternatively you could blitz the biscuits in a food processor/ blender.Melt the butter in a saucepan. Take off the heat and stir in the biscuit crumbs until well mixed.Tip the biscuit mixture into the tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon to make a smooth and even surface.Place in the fridge to chill while making the caramel. To make the caramel: gently melt the sugar, butter, condensed milk and golden syrup in a

saucepan.Then increase the heat until just below the boil and stir vigorously using a whisk for approximately15 minutes as the sauce changes colour from a lighter to a darker brown and thickens. If clumping starts to occur, remove from the heat and whisk vigorously to combine again. Allow the caramel to cool slightly as it will thicken further as it cools. Then pour the caramel over the biscuit base. Place in the refrigerator to cool fully.(If using a tin of caramel instead, then skip step 5 and 6 and just pour the already made caramel over the biscuit base and place in the refrigerator to harden. Finely chop the peanuts. Sprinkle on top of the caramel. Melt the chocolate and pour on top of the peanuts (ensure the caramell has cooled fully), making a creative design! I did a zig-zag drizzle as in the image! White chocolate could also be melted and used to decorate it! Store in an airtight container.

The time is coming for Easter then Communion and Confirmation

By Siobhan O’Neill White

Early April can be cold so we’re planning an indoor Easter egg hunt! Here are some ideas for places to hides eggs for your little ones. Are you ready, get set, so lets go....1. When you sit there its comfy but with an egg behind, its bumpy! (Cushions on sofa) 2. Close them to keep out the light….peek behind for chocolate delight (behind curtains) 3. Look in-between the books….for treats in crannies & nooks (bookshelf) 4. Use these to dry dishes… inside are chocolate wishes (tea towel drawer) 5. What we use to cook a stew….look inside for chocolate too (pot for cooking stew) 6. This box is usually full of fun….but today inside, things are yum (toy box) 7. Under your pillow where you sleep….. look for an extra special treat! (bed) 8. Flowers are colourful, pretty, and sweet - inside the vase is something to eat (in dry flower arrangement). I hope this helps make your egg hunts super-

fun. ALDI and LIDL have reasonably priced egg-hunt kits, so Easter doesn’t have to cost a fortune! With Communion season upon us, here are some ideas to make your child’s day special, without spending a fortune. Dunnes Stores, Ilac Centre has a fabulous range of Communion dresses and accessories for girls and smart suits and clothing for boys. For Confirmation girls, Quiz have gorgeous clothing, starting at UK size 4; so ideal for tweens and teens. Another great store for tweens/teens is Catch and they have lovely clothing for younger siblings too. For Mammies, Quiz has beautiful dresses. For curvy ladies, Yours Clothing is wonderful. We love to support local, Irish companies. For the guys, Bestwear Shop St. Drogheda has matching suits for Dads & Sons. Give them promo code Mams. ieBest23 to get 10% off! Suits. For Communion and Confirmation girls, Azure jewellery has delicate pieces in pearl and silver. For the Mammies, Belleek has a beautiful range of

colourful handbags, perfect to accessorise outfits. A personalised Pinata from Pinatas Pinatas is a nice addition for Communions and the kids love bashing it to get the sweets out. Worried about the cost? We have a family tradition where Grannies and Aunties each buy an item for the Communion/Confirmation child. It’s extra special for the child and, takes pressure off the parents to buy everything. Check out mame.ie for more of our wonderful exciting Communion and Confirmation recommendations and competitions. So why not contact us soon in any of these ways : email:siobhan@mumstown. ie ,web:www.mams.ie - Shortlisted for Golden Spider Award & Infant & Maternity Award

News & Events

Lusk AC competing in

indoor and road races!

The events have been coming thick and fast this year and by the middle of March it seems like most of the club had taken part in at least one Indoor competition or road race. Younger members of the club had a fantastic 5 days of Indoor Juvenile competition at the National Indoor Arena while our Junior, Seniors and Masters were at the same venue for the Leinster Indoor Championships. There was a huge medal haul for the club which is the icing on the cake after a hard winter of training.

The Lusk 4 mile gets bigger and better with each year and this time even the weather was on our side. 660 completed the 4 mile with over 200 also taking part in the Thomas Ashe Dash. Many thanks to all who volunteered at the event and to all the sponsors and local community for their support. The club had great participation in two Road races on Sunday 12th March with 60 of our athletes in action. The Windmill 10k (Men’s Dublin 10k Championship) in Garristown and the Bohermeen Half Marathon in Co Meath saw some brilliant running by our long distance men and women. We look forward to a summer of continued success and enjoyment.
