Editor’s Note

December is all about the lead up to Christmas. And, when it arrives it is mostly about kids, family, food ... and budget stretching. For many adults it also is a time of the year when we can think back, not just on 2017, but right across our lives - on the people we have loved, those we have lost, the way forward and the wake we have left behind us.

It can be a depressing time for some - and the short, dark and cold days of Winter do little to lift the spirits - but people generally try to at least pretend to get into the spirit of it all.

A lot of people believe that between commercialisation and immigration the ‘traditional Irish Christmas’ has been diluted but that view is shortsighted and leaves all the good things that change has brought us down the years (Now you can have several hundred TV channels ... and can still find nothing to watch! But maybe there are still mince pies to nibble!).

Christmas, like your birthday, comes but once a year and both provide bookmarks in our lives even if, in this case, you can never be sure how many chapters are left :) If you are living on your own and know that you will be alone on Christmas Day please remember that you don’t have to be. Many areas around Dublin provide social events on the day so that no-one has to be isolated - some of those attending may be homeless, others lonely, some confused and some searching for company, but all are welcome.

From all of us at Community Local - have a great Christmas!

Mayor honours Lions Clubs

Ted Leddy and Joe Newman and President of the Swords District Lions Club, Seán Quigley, who spoke on behalf of the six Fingal clubs.

Mr Quigley described the varying volunteer projects that the Lions Club undertakes annually. These include the Christmas Food Appeal which benefitted 70,000 people in Ireland in 2016, Suicide Awareness and Prevention Programmes as well as fundraising for Senior Citizens Holidays and International Humanitarian Aid. He also used the opportunity to highlight the need for volunteer groups in Ireland: “In this age of modernity and prosperity it is sad to see that there are still ‘the have nots’ in our society. Whilst there is a welfare system in place, too often it is not sufficient and that is why we have charities appealing to the better nature of people.”

Mr Quigley added: “We believe the world gets better and problems get smaller when people unite to serve their local and global community.”

Praising the volunteerism of the Lions Club, Chief Executive Paul Reid said: “This evening is a great opportunity to acknowledge the various volunteering and fundraising projects undertaken annually by the Lions Club who are valued hugely in Fingal. Myself and the staff within the Council are pleased to work with the Lions Clubs on a number of events.

They are great role models within the county and it is extremely important for us, in building communities, to have role models like them as we are both serving the public.“ District Governor Teresa Dineen, who heads up the Lions Club organisation in Ireland, said she was delighted to attend the event and show her support for the clubs in Fingal. “I am very pleased to see the outstanding work that is being done by the clubs in Fingal being recognised by the Council and I would like to congratulate the Mayor on her decision to dedicate her year in office to the volunteer.”

The international, secular and non-political Lions Club organisation was founded in Chicago by Melvin Jones 100 years ago and has since grown into an international body located in over 200 countries with 46,000 clubs and 1.4 million members. The first Lions Club to be formed in Ireland was in Dublin, in November 1955.

The Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Mary McCamley, paid tribute to the work being done by Fingal’s six Lions clubs at a civic reception in the Council Chamber at County Hall, Swords, recently.

They are part of a worldwide organisation that was founded 100 years ago in America and the Mayor used the occasion of the centenary to honour the clubs which are located in Balbriggan, Castleknock, Howth/Sutton, Portmarnock, Malahide and Swords.

Addressing the large gathering of Lions Club members from across the county, she commended them on their volunteerism: “Some of the work done by the Lions Club, like the Christmas food appeal, is high profile. But a lot of what you do in serving the communities you live and work in is low key. I know that all of your members are volunteers in the true sense of the word. You do not seek or desire rewards for what you do,” said the Mayor.

Joining Mayor McCamley at the presentation in the Council Chamber were Fingal County Council Chief Executive Paul Reid, Lions Club District Governor Teresa Dineen, Fingal County Councillors Anthony Lavin, Brian McDonagh, Eithne Loftus, Jimmy Guerin, Darragh Butler, Anne Devitt,

November meeting items Throughout the project, residents and businesses will be advised of all works in advance and will be given 48 hours’ notice of any planned water shut offs.

Irish Water will host a public drop-in information evening, a business information meeting and a briefing for elected representatives in the coming weeks so that the community is kept fully informed about the project.

Fly-tipping in Swords

Swords Water Gets Upgrade

Irish Water has signed a contract with GMC Utilities Group to replace 5km of ageing water mains in Swords. The 30” concrete water main was laid in 1970 and will be replaced between Cooks Road and Forest Road south of Swords, along Forest Road to the junction with the Dublin Road/Main Street Swords, then along Main Street and North Street and onwards to Lissenhall, ending near the Swords north M1 motorway junction.

The €9m in this project will take almost 2 years to complete. Works are expected to commence in the coming months.

Following a query by Cllr. Darragh Butler, the County Council hads confirmed that it is monitoring Balheary and Ennis Lane, Swords, in relation to illegal dumping. It has been agreed that this area will be assessed for suitable locations for covert CCTV in 2018. Where suitable evidence is found, litter fines will be issued and if required prosecutions sought.

Christmas Parking

The County Council has confirmed to Cllr.

Darragh Butler that it intends to offer free car parking in Swords in the run up to Christmas.

A statement said: “In previous years the free car parking at both Pay and Display locations, and at the Council cark parks in Swords has been very well received. It is intended to offer this facility

again this year, and discussions are currently underway as to the exact dates/times/locations which will be offered.

Donabate Housing Limits

Following a query by Cllr. Adrian Henchy (FF) the County Council has confirmed the upper limit of housing units that can be both built and occupied within both the current local area plan zoned lands and all other residential zonings within Donabate Portane that can be occupied before the proposed Donabate Distributor Road becomes fully operational.

Figures from the Council show that 1,000 units can be provided at Turvey, Rahillion, Corballis East & West, Spires East & Ballymastone. In the region of 750 units can be built on lands at Corballis West, Corballis East and Spires East, and prior to any units being sold and occupied on these lands, the Distributor Road linking the Hearse Road to the Balcarrick Road must be operational.

The final phased delivery of housing and infrastructure relates to c.2,000 on lands at Corballis East and Ballymastone. Construction cannot begin on these units until the full Distributor Road linking the Hearse Road to the Portrane Road is operational.

Bedsit at the Castle

Fingal County Council will be opening the doors of Swords Castle every evening from December 4th - 9th to present a week-long performance of the original play “My Bedsit Window” in the beautifully-restored Chapel Venue.

Written and performed by Swords’ Playwright David Gilna and Directed by Glenn Gannon, “My Bedsit Window” is a black comedy, chronicling David’s journey as a young actor/writer, William Blake, looking for that lucky break in Theatre and the highs and lows he encountered as he moved from 6

SWORDS LOCAL-DECEMBER 2017

Dublin to London and Hollywood.

First performed in Dublin in 2014, “My Bedsit Window” returns to the stage by popular demand having received huge critical acclaim for David’s performance as William Blake, and a story bursting with energy and laughter through his very funny and deft use of language.

Doors open 7.30pm. Ticket are €15 with €2 off for Senior Citizens, Students and unemployed (available on-line @ eventbrite.ie or e-mail: mybedsitwindow@gmail.com To reserve seats and pay on the evening - call or text: 086-074-9111

Fingal adopts progressive budget of €227m

Fingal County Council has adopted a budget for 2018 which will see an increased investment of €11.3m from last year to ensure the Council keeps pace with the increased demands of a county that has the fastest growing and youngest population in Ireland.

The €227m budget specially targets investment in five key areas of the Council’s overall strategy which will ultimately benefit all citizens of Fingal.

These are Housing and Homelessness, Economic Development, Services to Citizens, Building Communities and Growing Tourism.

Expenditure on housing and homelessness rises by almost 11 per cent to €61m while the Council’s road works programme will increase by nine per cent to almost €26m. Spending on Economic Development and Tourism will also be up by nine per cent to €21m and there is a five per cent increase in community investment.

The 2018 Budget represents a spend of €767.25 for every one of the county’s 296,214 residents.

The County Council estimates that for every €1 it spends an additional €1.72 is spent downstream in the economy - potentially bringing an economic boost of up to €0.5 billion.

The employment impact is also substantial and 8

SWORDS LOCAL-DECEMBER 2017

for every position directly employed within the council, an additional three jobs are supported as a result. This means that the total employment contribution from Budget 2018 is over 4,000 jobs.

Councillors opted to reduce the basic rate of Local Property Tax (LPT) by 10 per cent, yielding an extra €1.9m in discretionary income, and this has been ring-fenced for spending in key areas, This will see an additional €730,000 being invested in library services, community events and facilities and the arts programme and €500,000 being used to fund the Council’s initiatives to tackle homelessness. A further €113,000 will be spent on the Council’s housing stock, €250,000 will be invested in parks, open spaces and playgrounds with €200,000 going towards additional street lighting and road maintenance. The remaining €116,000 will be spent on tourism promotion and funding for events throughout the county.

For the first time since 2009, Councillors voted to increase Commercial Rates by two per cent.

This is the first increase in rates in Fingal since 2009 and follows a number of rate decreases in the early part of this decade. Fingal, which has the highest compliance of rate payment in Ireland

at 95.63% for 2016, also retains the distinction of having the lowest rate among the four Dublin Local Authorities.

There will be an additional €650,000 spent on public lighting, traffic, footpaths and bridge maintenance and a similar amount will be used to fund remedial and refurbishment works on community centres throughout the County. A further €650,000 will used to provide funds for capital works on the Council’s housing stock including heating system upgrades and the replacement of items such as doors and windows.

A further €250,000 will go towards economic development promotion and improvement works at the Dublin Enterprise Zone, while €270,000 is to be spent on refurbishing bottle banks throughout Fingal and improvement works at the Council’s two recycling centres in Coolmine and Swords.

Within the 2018 Budget, a total of €61.1m will be spent on Housing and Building with €42.7m budgeted for Environment and €42.5m for Recreation and Amenity. Road Transportation & Safety will receive €25.8m and Water Services €20.7m while €21.1m has been set aside for Development Incentives and Controls.
