Launch of Séamus Ennis Centenary Celebrations The recently launched year-long programme of events in Fingal Libraries marks the birth of Séamus Ennis 100 years ago.Fingal Libraries is delighted to partner with the Séamus Ennis Arts Centre based in the Naul for a year of Centenary Celebrations to mark the birth of Séamus Ennis 100 years ago.

The Séamus Ennis Centenary Celebrations were launched on Friday 22nd February in The Atrium, Fingal County Hall in Swords, by piper Ronan Browne, along with special guests. The evening featured a performance from talented pipers on Séamus Ennis’ pipes and the reminiscences of people who knew him, including Ivor Browne.

A world-class musician, singer, raconteur, mimic and linguist, he was also renowned as a folklore collector for the Irish Folklore Commission.The 23-year-old Séamus embarked on his first field trip for the Folklore Commission with little more than pen, paper, tin-whistle and bicycle. The songs, music and lore he collected now form part of the National Folklore Collection held in UCD. He continued to collect (and broadcast) songs and music from Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall, firstly for the Folklore Commission (1942-47), then Raidió Éireann (1947-51), the BBC (1951-58) and finally intermittently as a presenter on the newlyfounded Teilifís Éireann. Séamus continued to

Padraic MacMathuna playing Seamus Ennis’s pipes, with Neiligh Mulligan and Ronan Browne

perform in public up to his death in 1982.

Betty Boardman, County Librarian, commented: “This is a wonderful opportunity for Fingal Libraries to work with the Séamus Ennis Arts Centre, to help tell the story of this remarkable musician who left a lasting legacy of music, song and folklore for the nation’’.

A series of concerts and presentations in

honour of Séamus, curated by Ronan Browne, will take place in Fingal Library branches throughout the year and at the Fingal Festival of History in Swords Castle this October. The next event in the series is Music and Madness – Ronan Browne in Conversation with Ivor Browne, which takes place in Blanchardstown Library on Friday April 26th at 2 pm.

Fingal has celebrated the success of its students and schools in the 2019 BT Young Scientist competition, as Young Scientist of the Year Adam Kelly was recognised for his impressive achievement.Tributes were paid at the event on March 11 (Monday) in County Hall, Swords to his family, his teacher Ms Lennon, and his school, Skerries Community College, for supporting and aiding Adam’s winning efforts.

Students, teachers and family in attendance from Loreto Secondary School in Balbriggan, St. Joseph’s in Rush, Portmarnock Community School, Le Chéile Secondary School, and Coláiste Pobail Setanta were also praised and recognised.Adam’s win continues a tradition of victory for Fingal students in this competition.

In 2016, Maria Louise Fufezan and Diana Bura claimed the prize for Loreto Secondary School in Balbriggan.

Adam’s project, entitled “Optimizing The Simulation Of General Quantum Circuits”, explores efficient ways to mathematically model quantum computers.Quantum computing uses subatomic particles to drive computer calculations and processes.

It is a complex, emerging field with exciting technological and scientific applications, including the possibility of increased computing speed and power.Following Adam’s victory in the all-Ireland competition, he will go on to represent Ireland at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists

What you should know about Serious Illness Cover

By Dave Kavanagh If there is one aspect of protection that crops up time and time again, it’s Serious Illness Cover (a.k.a. Critical Illness Cover or Specified Illness Cover) but not always for the right reasons! Quite often, the topic comes up because someone has received unpleasant medical news and it prompts them to consider the “what if ” scenarios. Sadly, in many cases, it is too late at this point to be permitted to take out Serious Illness Cover. The usual medical underwriting that takes place when someone applies for cover is more stringent on Serious Illness Cover than it is for say, Life Cover. The reason is that you are far more likely to be diagnosed with one of the Specified illnesses during the term of a plan than you are to pass away.So what exactly is Serious Illness Cover and why is it so important? The cover will pay out a tax-free lump sum on diagnosis of a large number of Specified Illnesses.

While the list is quite long, the vast majority of claims are for the “big 5”, Cancer, Heart Disease, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis and Loss of Independence. It is not dependent on your ability to work

or the severity of how you are affected.

If it is one of the definitions covered, you are paid. The best time to conside.

Serious Illness Cover? Is when you don’t think you need it! At the very least, get a free quote for cover from someone who can quote the premiums of a number of companies. It’s quick and easy and you can then make an informed decision for yourself. Saying that you’ll “look at it” at some point in the future? All you’re doing is putting something off so you don’t have to deal with it now. If a covered event happens, you’ll be glad you did deal with it!

Dave Kavanagh QFA has been advising people financially for over 25 years. For quotes or information (with no cost or obligation) he can be contacted by emailing info@financialcompanion.ie or use the contact form on www.financialcompanion. ie or phone 087-6414570. 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 wellbeing, positivity and motivation. He has spoken at all of The Full 360 events with Alison Canavan around the country.

€3.4 million for Housing Adaptations Grants - Cllr Tom OLeary €3,377,777 has been made available to support home adaptations for older people, people with a disability and people with mobility issues in Fingal , a Fine Gael Councillor has said.

The funding, which has been increased this year, will enable older people and people with disabilities to remain living independently in their own homes for longer and will also facilitate early return from hospital.

Councillor Tom OLeary said: “I am confident that today’s allocation will continue to build on the progress made since the introduction of this scheme in 2007 and it will demonstrate the Government’s continued commitment to older people and people with a disability.This follows on from the launch last week of our policy document ‘Housing Options for Our Ageing Population’, which committed further resources from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government for this scheme.I am also pleased that funding has been increasing year on year since 2014 and this shows the importance that is attached to the scheme.

These grants have an immense impact on the quality of life of the many beneficiaries and play a vitally important role in helping people with a disability and people who are reaching an age in life when they are less mobile, to continue to live independently in their own homes.”

Councillor Tom OLeary continued, “Grants of up to €30,000 are available to assist people with a disability in carrying out necessary works to make a house more suitable for their needs, up to €8,000 to assist older people living in poor housing conditions to have necessary repairs or improvements carried out and up to €6,000 for mobility aids to address mobility problems for a member of the household. The grants are 80% funded from the exchequer by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, with 20% funding or €675,555!from from Fingal Co Council .The grants also create employment opportunities for builders and local businesses and help reduce the dependency on our health services by supporting independent living for as long as possible.”

Comhaltas Leithinis Donabate Portrane The newly formed Comhaltas Leithinis Donabate Portrane is going from strength with ever increasing numbers attending. Our first event was with a number of other groups- Irish Comhra Group, AAFA Cantoiri, Tower Singing Circle & Comhaltas Leithinis Donabate Portrane. Which was held at Cates Cafe & in the mall at the Supervalu shopping centre recently! So if you are interested in Irish music and song why not give us a try?

Keelings Sessions We began our Keelings sessions (for over 18s) on Wednesday 27th March at 9.00pm After that, they will revert to being on the third Wednesday of the month (Wednesdays- 17thApril,15th May,19th June), stopping for summer, to resume in September when we begin our full programme of lessons and sessions.

We will meet in the back function room of Keelings, and in September will move into the main lounge DJ area.

Slow sessions in Café Natural - Wayne Hand Slow sessions for beginners/refreshers will take place weekly in Café Natural on Sundays from 11.00-13.00.The first date will be Sunday 31st March.The first hour will be for children primarily, the second for adults.

We hope to join people at the Sessions- eg Family Membership €20 per annum. Session FREE!
