Don’t Let Summer Slip Away
We have been blessed with the wonderful summer sunshine this year and the area of Fingal looks more beautiful than ever thanks to the efforts of locals in their respective areas! And while the summer heat is still with us, the evenings are just a little shorter now. Autumn is waiting in the wings, but before it arrives, there is still time to make the most of what remains of summer.
For many families, these are the final weeks to enjoy a well-earned break. Whether it’s a last-minute staycation, a few days by the seaside or a holiday abroad, the “last gasp” of summer offers an opportunity to step away from the pressures of everyday life. It is a chance to recharge, spend quality time together and create memories that will be talked about long after the leaves begin to fall. Summer is also reunion season. Many family members who live apart return home during the warmer months to gather around the barbecue, celebrate milestones or simply catch up over a cup of tea in the garden. In a world where everyone seems to be constantly

rushing from one commitment to the next, these moments are more valuable than ever.
Yet, for many households, thoughts are already turning to the return to school. Parents are checking uniform sizes, children are choosing new school bags and teachers are preparing classrooms. While the end of the holidays can bring mixed emotions, it also marks the beginning of new opportunities, fresh ambitions and renewed routines.
The seasons will always change, and autumn will arrive soon enough. But until then, let’s enjoy what Summer has left to offer and make as many long-lasting memories as possible. Whether it’s enjoying a walk along one of the many wonderful coastal areas of Fingal, or enjoying some of the wonderful upcoming festivals, there is still plenty to make the most of August!

Local woman Amanda speaks about her journey with Swords Toastmasters
• Do you run a Local Sports Club or Team?
• Are you a new business or a business celebrating an anniversary?
• Are you running or hosting a Local event or Fundraiser? • Do you have a story to tell?
• A Special Birthday, Christening, Communion..
Would you like to build your confidence in public speaking? Have you grown tired of letting fear hold you back? This September, take the first step towards overcoming this fear by visiting Swords Toastmasters for an obligation-free meeting. Discover a supportive and encouraging environment where you can develop your communication and leadership skills while gaining the confidence to speak with ease.”
That’s exactly what member Amanda O’Hara did last year when she wanted to meet the challenge head on.
Amanda said “Joining Toastmasters has been one of the most rewarding things I have done in a long time. When I first attended, I was fearful and I wasn’t sure if I was going to stick with it. The fact that it was a massive fear was the clear sign I needed that I had to face it. I’m only there a year but I have taken on many roles, completed a couple of speeches and I feel it has helped my confidence greatly. Toastmasters gives you the freedom to be who you are, and express yourself freely as your authentic
self. You will receive nothing but encouragement and support from everyone in the club. I’m really enjoying being a part of it.”
Swords Toastmasters is a club that helps people develop their public speaking, listening, and leadership skills, in a fun and supportive environment. Members join for a variety of reasons. Some, to progress their careers, to perform better at interviews, to practice for workplace presentations,or even for tat all important wedding speech.
If you would like to see Amanda and her fellow Toastmasters in action, get in touch today, for an obligation-free visit. Perhaps you will be inspired to take the first step towards finding your own voice and changing your life!

Digital Scams Have Not Gone Away
By Dave Kavanagh
Despite every financial institution, news outlet, vloggers and even dedicated TV shows all constantly warning us how to avoid a variety of scams, not only are they still being attempted but they are still catching people out, with reported payment fraud estimated in Ireland of €160 million per year (based on 2024). Of course, many scams go unreported so it is most likely the figure is much higher than this. The scams range from simple text messages, either trying to persuade you to click on a hyperlink, or pretending to be one of your children who has a new phone number and needs you to send them money, to phone calls pretending to be your internet service provider, your credit/debit card company or an online store such as Amazon. There are also texts and emails needing you to pay a small customs charge on a delivery. Remember, if scammers send out 20,000 of these texts, there’s bound to be a number of people who are expecting a delivery, or have had a recent internet connection problem etc., so it makes them more convincing to some. So what can you do to minimise the risk of being scammed? Firstly, if in any doubt, do not click on hyperlinks, no matter how genuine they appear. You could be downloading malware or giving scammers access to your digital device. If you’re concerned, contact the real company
through the usual methods of contact that you have (not one that is given to you by scammers!). If you receive a phone call from someone who claims to be from one of the types of companies listed above, firstly, do not give away any information at all. If they say they are calling from Eir, do not say “but we’re with Vodafone”. You’re just giving them additional information to use to call you again in a couple of months. Ask them any questions you think relevant, then end the call and contact the company directly. The main thing is to be vigilant and cautious of unexpected contact.

How
your Will can transform lives
Tom O’Neill of the Balbriggan/ North County Dublin branch of Guide Dogs, got his first Guide Dog, Frank in 1985 and is currently on his seventh guide dog, Qeb. Tom speaks of the freedom, mobility and confidence he gets from having a guide dog and the ability to meet so many people through having a guide dog, the positive image that is shown to the world and the freedom it allows him to get out and about, be involved and to do something extremely positive with his life and within the community.
Tom met his late wife, Breege in Sligo when they were both doing a course designed to help visually impaired people adjust their lives due to vision loss or impairment. In June 2021, Tom lost Breege to cancer and his then dog, Gatsby, passed away in the middle of losing Breege, also due to cancer. The dog Tom currently has, Qeb, is the last dog Breege ever trained with. In Longford, where Breege is laid to rest, Qeb allows Tom the ability to walk twenty minutes up to the graveyard and sit and reminisce at
the gravestone to think about the 40 plus years they shared together, all thanks to the dog they would one day go on to share and grant them both independence.
Given the importance of a guide dog in their lives and the lives of others, Tom and Breege left a legacy donation to the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind in their wills. Did you know that 1 in 3 guide dogs are supported by legacy donations from being left in a persons will. If you are looking for a noble and lifechanging way to support the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, why not leave a legacy donation in your will and help give independence and change lives.
Please see link below to video of Tom O’Neill speaking about leaving a donation in your will: https://www.guidedogs.ie/howyou-can-help/ways-to-donate

Conradh Na Gaeilge re-established in Swords
We are delighted to announce that Craobh Cholm Cille, Conradh na Gaeilge has been reestablished in Swords, North County Dublin. The same branch was in the town as far back as 1902 (check out the article from Drogheda Independent, 19 April 1902).
There is a language revival underway at the moment and we want to cater for that interest and represent those that are interested in promoting our national language. The success of the gaelscoileanna movement in recent years means there are many Irish speakers looking to preserve their language skills and help pass the gift to the next generations.
We intend to provide speaking opportunities, organise Irish lessons, run Irish language juvenile
sports camps, inspire social occasions trí ghaeilge and to make An Ghaeilge available to the people of Swords.
Ta lúcháir orainn a fhógairt go bhfuil Craobh Cholm Cille, Conradh na Gaeilge athbhunaithe againn i Sord Cholm Cille, Tuaisceart Chontae Átha Cliath.
Bhí an Chraobh chéanna sa bhaile chomh fada siar le 1902, ar a laghad (féach ar an sliocht ón Drogheda Independent, 19 Aibreán 1902).
Tá athbheochan teanga ar siúl faoi láthair agus ba mhaith linn freastal ar an spéis sin agus ionadaíocht a dhéanamh orthu siúd a bhfuil suim acu ár dteanga náisiúnta a chur chun cinn.
Independent April 19th, 1902
Mar gheall ar an rath a bhí ar ghluaiseacht na ngaelscoileanna le blianta beaga anuas, tá go leor Gaeilgeoirí ag iarraidh a gcuid scileanna teanga a chaomhnú agus an bronntanas a thabhairt do na glúnta atá le teacht.
Tá sé mar chuspóir againn tuilleadh deiseanna cainte a chur ar fáil, ranganna Gaeilge a eagrú, campaí spóirt trí ghaeilge a reáchtáil, imeachtaí sóisialta a spreagadh agus an ghaeilge a chur i lár an aonaigh do phobal an bhaile.

Summer Sun: Not Just Our Skin at Risk
We’re always delighted when the Irish sun decides to make an appearance. Gardens fill up, beaches get busy, and our pets are never far from the action. But while most of us reach for the sunscreen, we often forget that some of our furry friends may need protection too.
Many owners are surprised when I tell them that pets can get sunburn.
Dogs with white or thin coats are particularly at risk. The nose, ear tips and even the tummy can burn after spending too much time sunbathing. And let’s be honest, some dogs would happily lie in the sunshine all day if we let them!
Cats can also suffer from sun damage, especially
those with white ears and pink noses. In fact, repeated exposure to sunlight can lead to a type of skin cancer called Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), one of the most common skin cancers we see in cats.
The tricky part is that it often starts with what looks like a harmless little scab. Owners may think their cat picked up a scratch while climbing a fence or chasing a bird. But if a sore on the ears or nose doesn’t heal, it’s worth getting it checked. Fortunately, prevention is quite simple. Providing shade, limiting sun exposure during the brightest part of the day, and using pet-safe sunscreen in high-risk animals can make a
huge difference. And before you raid your own sunscreen bottle, remember that human products aren’t always safe for pets.
We spend a lot of time talking about vaccines, flea treatments and healthy diets, but sometimes a little sun protection is just as important. Your vet can advise whether your pet would benefit from one and recommend a suitable product.
So while you’re enjoying the sunshine this summer, spare a thought for your four-legged family members too. They’ll thank you for it, probably by finding the sunniest spot in the house and ignoring your advice completely! “
Swords Castle and it’s Moat

Food for thought
By Jon Kavanagh
You know you are getting somewhat long in the tooth when: you slip into your pyjamas at the time you once donned your glad rags for a night on the town, the Gardai look like junior cert students, and you no longer recognise many food items on the supermarket shelves. Unlike today we Baby Boomers grew up on a limited diet of ‘plain’ grub. A jar of sandwich spread was as close as we got to caviar. Protocol policed by our mothers (armed with the wooden spoon) strictly prohibited eating on the sofa. Rugged and often adorned with a length of oilcloth, the kitchen table was the focal point of the home. There we were duty bound to assemble at the designated time to break bread, celebrate the successes of the day, catch up on
the local gossip and discuss any problems on the horizon. The ancient art of the family row was practiced there on a regular basis. You could tell the day of the week by observing the food on the dinner plate: chicken cooked in a pot on a Sunday; bacon and cabbage on a Wednesday; herrings from Balbriggan on Friday etc. On special occasions we had desert then known as ‘the sweet’, consisting of rice with added raisins boiled to the point of extinction; jelly and custard, semolina or tapioca.
The concept of healthy eating and food safety had yet to book its flight to Ireland. Not a health inspector in sight as the local shopkeeper cut cooked and uncooked meat on the same slicer. No sympathy for the plight of our arteries as a large lump of Dripping (fat) was lashed on the pan to create my father’s beloved treat – a fry up straight from the pages of Ulysses. Back
The final construction of Swords Castle was the work of many hands and many centuries too.
Having a siting near a powerful, navigable river recommended Swords immediately to the conquering Norman’s in 1170 ad. Rivers provide vital water, allow for rapid travel over the waterways of that day and provided these new continental invaders with immediate access to the open sea at the Malahide estuary. Sea travel, in a territory still
covered by thick forest, was the most efficient means of travel the Swords Castle was built not so much for defence or sieges either, but for control of the local area and native population. Nevertheless, as this 1790 print confirms with fishermen depicted near the Constable’s Tower(1400s). The castle once boasted a surrounding moat, fed directly from the river Ward. Tight lines to all our fishermen!
then local towns like Swords and Donabate had stand-alone butcher shops where he bought sausages, rings of black and white pudding, and a selection of offal that I will spare you the details of. Nothing went to waste with leftovers reheated on the aforementioned pan. Food scraps were donated to dog and cat. In the post-World War Two era houses often had a sizable garden, enabling the residents to grow their own vegetables. A childhood memory that makes me laugh to this day recalls my father growing an oversized beetroot. Unfortunately, it was left too long before harvesting and sprouted mould. Not the most observant of men he failed to notice the fungus and brought his pride and joy into the kitchen proudly exclaiming “Begob there’s a great beetroot!”. To which my mother retorted (as only she could) “Well it has a nice head of hair anyway!”. Simple frugal times that give us an appreciation for what we have today.
CAR REVIEW
KIA PV5 Passenger is a People Pleaser
By Declan Glynn
The all-new Kia PV5 Passenger represents the Korean manufacturer’s bold entry into the modular electric vehicle space, and it promises van-like practicality with a car-like driving experience. The PV5 is the first vehicle in Kia’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) family – a flexible electric architecture deliberately engineered to support multiple body styles and passenger configurations.
Outstanding Practicality.
The PV5 is based on Kia’s Electric-Global Modular Platform for Service (E-GMP.S), and is manufactured at the brand’s cutting-edge EVO production facility in South Korea. Long Wheelbase, Standard Roof (L2/H1) Passenger and Cargo versions are available now, with additional variants to follow for the 262 registration period, including an impressively-spacious 7-seat MPV. The PV5 Passenger represents a genuinely different type of practicality over typical MPV rivals, and the space on offer within the cabin eclipses most large SUVs and estate cars outright. With all five seats in use, there is a class-leading 1,330-litres of cargo space available, and with the rear seats folded flat, the figure increases to a
massive 2,300-litres.
Modern Appeal.
The PV5 Passenger’s refined profile accentuates its contemporary look and delivers excellent visibility thanks to the large window area, made possible by a low beltline. Robust black wheel arch cladding and rocker panels mirror Kia’s SUV lineup, while a bold lighting signature and sleek black accents elevate its modern appeal..
Vehicle on Review.
My review vehicle was a PV5 Passenger K4, which looked very elegant in its Aurora Black Pearl metallic paint and contrasting two-tone alloy wheels. Designed with practicality and functionality in mind, the ergonomic cabin features a multitude of recycled plastics and other eco-friendly alternatives, and overall fit and finish is excellent. In typical Kia fashion, there is a good blend of physical buttons and switches on the dashboard and steering wheel, so it is always easy to access important functions when on the move. The standard 120kW electric motor is powered by a 71.2kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, and it
produces 163PS (165bhp) and 250Nm of instant torque, resulting in a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 12.4-seconds. The PV5’s driving character has to be one of its unexpected qualities, as it delivers a driving experience that defies its upright stance and van-like dimensions. Despite its tall proportions, body roll is well controlled, and the steering is light and agile for confident urban driving, yet suitably direct for spirited motorway driving too. The cabin is surprisingly refined, with very little in the way of wind or road noise getting through to the cabin, and this makes the PV5 a genuinely relaxing motorway companion for longer family journeys. Acceleration is brisk from the get-go, and settled at motorway speeds, and the low centre of gravity from the flat battery pack results in consistent power delivery. With a best-in-class electric range of up to 416km, and ultra-fast charging capabilities providing a 10-80% charge in as little as 30 minutes, the PV5 ensures efficiency without compromise.
Price.
Priced from just €42,550 (ex-delivery), the PV5 Passenger represents outstanding value for money.
How Chinese Medicine and Natural Remedies May Help During the Summer With Susan
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Warm weather often brings an increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Heat, excessive sweating, and dehydration can reduce urine output, allowing bacteria more opportunity to multiply in the urinary tract. Drinking enough fluids and maintaining good hygiene are important first steps in reducing the risk.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, many UTIs are associated with a pattern known as Damp-Heat in the Lower Jiao, (The Lower section of the torso) where excess heat and moisture contribute to symptoms such as burning during urination, urinary urgency, frequent urination, and dark or cloudy urine. A qualified TCM practitioner may recommend an individualised treatment plan that includes acupuncture and customised herbal formulas designed to clear heat, drain dampness, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Herbal treatments should always be prescribed by a trained practitioner, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medications.
At home, several natural measures may help support urinary tract health. Staying well hydrated is one of the most effective ways to help flush bacteria from the urinary system. Aim to drink water regularly throughout the day, especially during hot weather or after exercise. Unsweetened cranberry products may help reduce the risk of recurrent UTIs in some people by making it more difficult for certain bacteria to attach to the bladder wall, although they are not a treatment for an active infection.
Cooling foods that are commonly recommended in TCM include cucumber, watermelon, celery, pears, and mung beans, which may help support hydration during the warmer months. Reducing spicy foods, alcohol, excessive
sugar, and highly processed foods may also be beneficial, as these are traditionally thought to contribute to internal heat.
Good personal hygiene, urinating after sexual activity, avoiding prolonged periods in wet swimwear, and wearing breathable cotton underwear can further reduce the risk of infection.
If you develop symptoms such as burning when passing urine, frequent urination, pelvic pain, fever, chills, blood in the urine, or pain in the back or side, seek prompt medical attention. UTIs often require antibiotic treatment, and delaying care can allow the infection to spread to the kidneys. Chinese medicine can be a valuable complementary approach but should not replace appropriate medical diagnosis and treatment.
