Local News

People all over the world will celebrate the birth of Christ in many different ways this Christmas. In this country and a few others, we will buy presents for our families and friends and sit down to a turkey dinner with all the trimmings on Christmas Day. Every year at this time we look forward to the smiling faces of our children, nieces, nephews and Grandchildren as their little faces light up with smiles that warm our hearts on Christmas morning. This could be because they have received that long awaited and much sought after special present. In this Advent time, young workers plan Christmas parties with their fellow employees or their friends, and share Secret Santa parcels. Couples meet up for their annual get- togethers and exchange stories of the past year and Christmas gifts. Every year the Christian churches, and their charitable groups dream up an ever-increasing number of ways to help those in need and remind us, ‘The poor are always with us.” In our community it is our families that are foremost in our minds but let us not forget our elderly neighbours, or the sick and invalided and those who will not have the Christmas dinner we have all become so used to. So, this year remember support your local retailers, look in on your elderly neighbours, bring them a bite to eat and show your caring side to the charitable groups. Let us support those volunteers from numerous groups who are very active at this time. Let us endeavour to keep our demeanour happy and offer a helping hand to those who need it. After all it is Christmas, when peace and goodwill are the passwords across the globe and the smiles of all of us here show the world what a caring, and sharing community we have in Fingal. We in Local magazine wish you and yours a very happy Christmas and we hope Santa makes all your dreams come true this year.

Cllr O’Donoghue Welcomes Timeline on the Lusk Recreational Hub Following a question to the Council management from Cllr Rob O’Donoghue there was welcome news on the progress on the development of the sports hub in Lusk. Following environmental screening of aspects of the proposed Recreational Hub on Rathmore Road in Lusk it is necessary to undertake a survey and impact assessment work over the winter months. Once these works are complete, it is the Councils plan to submit proposals for approval to An Bord Pleanála in quarter two of 2024. The Question: posed by Cllr O’Donoghue asked: ““To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the environmental assessments taking place at the Lusk Sports Hub, when do the Council expect to have the assessments completed and if feasible, inform the Committee of which planning application route will be pursued next in order to deliver the proposed sporting amenities at Lusk Sports Hub?” In their reply the Council said, “Further to environmental screening of aspects of the proposed Rathmore Recreational Hub in Lusk it is necessary to undertake further survey and impact assessment work over the winter months. The Council is now planning to submit the proposals for the Recreational Hub for approval to An Bord Pleanála

in Q2 of 2024.” Councillor O’Donoghue stated ‘following many years of hard work by the clubs and community stakeholders on the recreational hub project, we are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. The provision of the much-needed facilities for the people of Lusk at the Hub has moved forward with a timeline given for the seeking of planning permission. I am happy to continue to champion this project and keep the pressure on at Council level.’ In other Council news following several questions and motions over the last year requesting that the R127, from New Haggard to Blakes Cross to be resurfaced to aid cyclists and motorists, the section of the road has been assessed and will be considered for inclusion in the Regional Roads Capital Programme in 2024. The actual Question asked by Councillor R. O’Donoghue was “ To ask the Chief Executive if consideration can be given to evaluating the road from Blake’s Cross to Newhaggard, Lusk for resurfacing in the forthcoming Programme of Works?” The Reply from the Council Engineer was, “This section of road in question has been assessed and will be considered for inclusion in the Regional Roads Capital Programme 2024.”

WE FOUND THE PERFECT BLEND, THE HIGHEST QUALITY FOR LOW PRICES

Finance

If you rent you should know this By Dave Kavanagh Those that rent their accommodation privately, compared to home owners, can be a lot more vulnerable. Apart from the obvious points, like rents being increased or having to move out if a property is being sold, there are other potential events that could prove problematic for renters. As we saw in the early part of the pandemic, where many people’s incomes were drastically reduced, those with mortgages were permitted to avail of “payment breaks” with minimal effort. Unfortunately, those renting do not usually have the flexibility of this option. When someone cannot work due to illness or injury, they may suffer a loss of income, either immediately or after a short period, resulting in the inability to pay rent. This could lead to eviction and all of the problems associated with it. While those renting may not have been exposed to the kind of financial advice as someone going through the mortgage process, there are still safeguards that can be put in place. One option is Income Protection, paying them a portion of their income if they were unable to work due to illness

or injury. This could be the difference between affording rent or being evicted. Something not often considered by renters is Life Cover. If one of a couple renting passed away, this could allow the surviving partner (or family) to purchase their own home immediately without the need for a mortgage. Similarly, Serious Illness Cover could pay out a tax-free lump sum on diagnosis of one of the illnesses covered, giving another layer of financial security. Better to consider these options earlier rather than later.

Combined with his previous role of gym/nutrition adviser, he regularly gives talks and workshops at seminars and events for groups, companies and government departments on financial well being, positivity and motivation.

LUSK COMMUNITY NETWORK – Information supplied by grant providers On our Facebook and Instagram pages ILoveLusk, we put up quick posts in relation to available grants and then point you back to our main website – www.lovelusk.ie. Even within the ‘Community Grants’ page, we provide a summary of the grants and a link to the full information. While our web page lovelusk.ie/home/communitygrants/ may only give a brief description of the grant, don’t be put off by the wording. Click on the link supplied by us, bringing you to the relevant section of the grant providers’ website. If you need examples of how this grant was used by other groups, most websites provide a list of recipients in prior years and give brief descriptions about their projects. These descriptions are brilliant as you now have examples of accepted projects. You can decide if any of these projects would or could apply to your organisation. If you feel you need extra clarity, most groups have either a website or a Facebook page and so if you need to, you can contact them and from our own experience, they are more than happy to talk. On our Facebook and Instagram page, we have also posted about the Community Water Development Fund, which is currently open. Examples of previous local recipients were provided – Balbriggan Tidy Towns, OWLS (Children’s Nature Charity) and Swords Tidy Towns, as well as the possibility of applying for this grant for a feasibility study into rain water harvesting systems, showing how St. Maur’s GAA received funding from LEADER to help with harvesting rain water from the roof of their clubhouse. In other words, this grant could be a stepping stone for further available grants. It would be very easy to miss this wide-ranging grant. So, get into a habit of looking at the grants page on our website, clinking into the links provided and reading the extra information that is contained there. Don’t be put off by the wording and, with the examples provided of prior approved projects, think within and outside the box. Then don’t forget to apply!

LAG Concern over the Quality of Bus Services in Lusk A number of weeks ago, we in Lusk Action Group submitted comprehensive letters of complaint to the National Transport Authority, Dublin Bus and Go Ahead regarding the many ongoing service and capacity issues. Since then, the issue has been brought up in Dáil discussion by Louise O’Reilly TD and we have been on Newstalk radio talking about the issues and with the support of Minister Joe O’Brien, we have met with NTA and with Dublin Bus in recent weeks to discuss these issues and how resolution is planned. Issues can be complex, from heavy city traffic to lack of drivers and

lack of mechanics, which keeps vehicles off the road. What is most needed is accurate information and an accessible complaints system. For Dublin Bus issues (33, 33X), including late arrivals, non-arrivals, ghost buses, buses passing passengers, and driver issues, please keep a note of the date, the time and the issue and email both Dublin Bus and Lusk Action Group. Once we have more detailed information, it gives us much more weight is any discussions with the operator. complaints@dublinbus.ie and copy us at luskactiongroup@gmail.com We await our meeting with GoAhead.

Apology and clarification regarding November article Cllr Rob O’Donoghue wishes to apologise for his factually inaccurate statement in the November issue of Lusk Local magazine. He said, “It has been brought to my attention that information provided by me regarding the handover of the Rush and Lusk Educate Together School, which was included in the November issue of the Lusk Local magazine is

factually inaccurate. This was entirely my error, it was no fault whatsoever of the Lusk Local publication, and I apologise for any confusion that this information may have caused to parents, staff and the management of the RALET. Works are continuing on the new school premises which in time will provide a great new facility for the area.”

Join Lusk Community Cleaning Group and enhance the area

Lusk Community Cleaning Group was formed three years ago by some like-minded local residents, who wanted to enhance their community by planting flower beds and some seasonal containers around the town. They’re also an avid litter picking group, which really helps to enhance the appearance of Lusk Town Centre and as well as the approach roads. As an active community organisation, they co-ordinate monthly litter picking mornings all year round, as well as bulb and tree planting days. Everyone is welcome to join these events, no membership is necessary. Just come along and enjoy helping your community, whilst meeting some new residents. In addition to litter picking, the volunteers have taken on various new projects this year, such as: (1.) Cutting back grass verges along footpaths and cycle lanes -(2.) Collecting autumn leaves for leaf mould cages - (3.) Cleaning up local bridges to reveal the beautiful stonework - (4.) Cutting back

overgrown hedges along busy footpaths - (5.) _ Planting new flower beds at key locations around the town, There is also a great sense of community comradeship amongst their volunteers and coffee and cake is always a welcome treat, after all the hard work is done! Check out their weekly social media posts on Love Lusk Facebook and Instagram for their latest news and community events. Anyone can volunteer, no commitment is required, just help out when you can in whatever capacity you can. They can provide free litter picking kits to all of the volunteers and also a have a variety of garden tools available on loan. If you would like to help keep your community looking it’s best, contact Willie on 087 637 9199. If any residents have ideas or suggestions, for future projects for Lusk Community Cleaning Group, please let us know by emailing info@ lovelusk.ie

A letter from Fine Gael Candidate Eoghan Dockrell Dear Resident, My name is Eoghan Dockrell and I will contest next year’s local elections to Fingal County Council as the Fine Gael candidate for your area. As part of Senator Regina Doherty’s team, I work with community groups and residents of Donabate, Portrane and Lusk on a daily basis. In the months ahead, I hope to meet you to convince you of my commitment to represent our area on Fingal County Council. However, I appreciate how busy people are. I am therefore taking this opportunity to introduce myself; to give you an overview of my priorities and to share my contact details with you should you wish to raise any issues with me by phone or email (or if you’d like to arrange a meeting). I know that North County Dublin is a brilliant place to grow up and live. However, we all know that as the population has increased in recent decades, not enough consideration has been given about the 12 LUSK LOCAL-DECEMBER 2023

impact on our close-knit communities. Our local authority, Fingal County Council, is one of the best resourced local authorities in the country; yet there is still a significant lack of social, cultural and sporting facilities in our area. The development of our area should involve more than just building homes. It should be about nurturing our communities as the population increases so that people feel connected. If elected, I will be a strong advocate on Fingal County Council calling for social, cultural and sporting infrastructure in Fingal to be prioritised. I want to be a fresh voice on the Council, fighting for increased spending on infrastructure in Donabate, Portrane and Lusk, and I hope to earn your trust and support in the months ahead. I will be dropping a leaflet in the coming weeks which will set out my priorities in detail (including the urgent need for quality childcare facilities, more affordable housing and better transportation links). If you have any issues that you would like to discuss with me

or if I can be of any assistance to you or your family, please contact me at 087 618 3774 or at: eoghandockrellfg@gmail.com. Yours sincerely, Eoghan Dockrell. Contact us: communitylocalseditor@gmail.com

Lusk 1943 Photograph Exhibition Launched Lusk Community Cultural Centre is hosting a new photograph exhibition sponsored by the National Museum, OLIVER marketing and Lusk Community Council. The photographs were taken in 1943 as part of the UCD Architectural survey of vernacular buildings of Lusk. The National Museum of Country Life in Castlebar has conserved the photographs which vividly illustrate the life of Lusk as a small village. The novelty of a group of UCD architectural students measuring, drawing and illustrating Lusk’s vernacular buildings was no doubt the subject of great discussion at the time. The combination of drawings, paintings and photographs create a very special time capsule of our town in 1943 and Lusk Community Council is delighted to bring this exhibition back to Lusk, 80 years after it was first created. The exhibition is free to visitors.

Thanks and Happy Christmas from Lusk Senior Citizens On behalf of Lusk Senior Citizens committee, I would like to thank everyone who supported our recent fundraisers. We held a musical bingo and a poker classic and both were a great success. Thank you also to the many local businesses and our wonderful supporters who donated prizes for our bingo and raffles. A special thank you to the following: APT Safelink, Robert Hughes,

Leo Neary, Liam Fitzgerald, Whites Agri, J. Brown builders, Skinny Batch, Kellys Garage, Belfry Cafe, Emma Barry Beauty, Costcutters, Four Star Pizza, Spar Balbriggan, Fingal Farm Shop.
