Mount Merrion locals shocked as plans for another major scheme emerge

 Emma Nolan Plans for another major development in Mount Merrion have been announced in what locals and local representatives are calling “excessive”.

A c o m p a ny a s s o c i ated with property developer Greg Kavanagh has announced the plans for 63 residential units in the Oatlands monastery grounds.

The Mount Merrion Residents’ Association said

that the plan is a “further example of the planners encouraging high-rise development in an area of bungalows and semidetached houses and at a totally unacceptable density”.

Councillor Carron McKinney (Lab) has said that local residents feel “under siege as they deal with a barrage of development plans in their neighbourhood”.

Glenalbyn grounds | facility remains derelict

Replacement pool plans are delayed  Emma Nolan There have been further delays on plans for a pool to replace Glenalbyn following disagreements between the council and Kilmacud Crokes, an excuse which has been deemed “threadbare” by Minister for Transport Shane Ross (Ind).

Glenalbyn swimming pool closed suddenly in 2013 and has remained derelict. Pool staff and locals have been campaigning for the council to provide the amenities that have been lacking in the community since.

The site of the old pool remains beside Kilmacud Crokes sports

venue on the Glenalbyn grounds.

The council were due to present a report to councillors in either June or July which will outline plans and options for a replacement pool.

However, the council circulated an email to councillors this month which explained that the report will not be presented until September due to a number of issues with Kilmacud Crokes and their lands which need to be resolved.

Fianna Fail councillor Liam Dockery agreed that the delays are “unwelcome” and said that he was surprised that the reason for the delay was due to issues

with Kilmacud Crokes.

Cllr Barry Saul (FG) also echoed his colleagues’ views saying that he was disappointed by the delay and called on the council to meet during the summer in order to make a final decision about the future of Glenalbyn.

The council told The Gazette that they have no comment until the report is brought to completion in September.

Independent Cllr Deirdre Donnelly has been active in protesting the pool’s closure for the last three years with Minister Shane Ross.

Cllr Donnelly said that she is “furious” at the delay.

“We were promised a report by the management before the summer,” she said.

Minister Ross told The Gazette that he is “outraged” by the council’s “threadbare” decision to delay the pool report.

“A letter to Kilmacud Crokes could have been written six months ago,” he said.

He urged councillors to call an emergency meeting to make a decision on the new pool’s location before the summer recess.

“There are now serious questions about the commitment of council officials to restore a swimming pool to Stillorgan.”

campaign | appeal to world leaders

Hannah has her sights on equality A R ATHFARNHAM 21-year-old, who has been working as an ambassador for a global anti-poverty campaign, has called on world leaders to “score a knockout goal” against poverty in Paris.

Hannah Treanor, a second-year Trinity College student from the Grange Road area, who is studying politics, economics and sociology, is part of ONE – an international campaigning and advocacy organisation taking action to end extreme poverty and preventable disease.

Just days ahead of the Euro 2016 football tournament in Paris, 250 Youth Ambassadors for the ONE Campaign

Hannah Treanor

from across Europe and Africa recreated a giant football pitch at La Defense, the business centre of the French capital, to highlight that “Poverty is Sexist” and that world leaders must level the playing field for girls and women in

developing countries.

They deployed a huge banner in the centrespot, displaying their message to representatives of some of the world’s richest countries meeting at the OECD Forum: “Poverty is sexist. Level the playing field for women and girls”.

Hannah said: “Young people like me have to work to bring around the world we want to see, that’s why being a youth ambassador is so important.

“We have a powerful message for politicians: we want concrete action to build a more just world for all. We came to Paris to meet them and tell them face to face.”

Mt Merrion | 63 units planned for Oatlands

Serious concerns over new development plan

 Emma Nolan

Helen Collings, Making Connections Community Connector volunteer; Cllr Carrie Smyth and Mary O’Donohue, CEO, Making Connections

Helen is hailed for her services to volunteering Cllr Carrie Smyth (Lab) congratulate Helen Collings who recently received an award from the Cathaoirleach of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for her services to volunteering with Making Connections. The charity tackles isolation and loneliness in our community through their Intergenerational Befriending Initiative. With Helen’s support, many vulnerable older people are being connected with volunteers and gaining a new lease of life through weekly hour long visits and shared interests. Making Connections is currently an active member of the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council Age Friendly Initiative. Through this initiative, community organisations and charities are working together to make the county a great place to grow old.

Cllr Smyth commented: “We are proud to have an organisation like Making Connections who is empowering a team of 70 volunteers to make a very positive impact in the local community where they live and work.”

Plans for another major development in Mount Merrion have been announced in what locals and local representatives are calling “excessive”.

A company associated with property Developer Greg Kavanagh has announced the plans for 63 residential units in the Oatlands monastery grounds.

On a site of around 2.5 acres the plan is to construct 63 residential units made up of nine houses, 24 duplexes and 30 apartments. Included is this are two, four-storey apartment blocks.

The site is currently landlocked so permission

is being sought to demolish No 2 Cherrygarth to gain access to the site.

T his development comes af ter permission was granted for an apartment complex at the Flanagan’s site on Deerpark Road and as planning permission is currently being sought for a commercial development at the Kieley’s site on Wilson Road.

The Mount Merrion Residents Association (MMRA) say that if all plans are approved, almost 200 additional residences will be added to the area.

A statement from the MMR A said that the Cherrygarth plan is a “further example of the planners encouraging high rise development

in an area of bungalows and semi-detached houses and at a totally unacceptable density”.

They also believe that the new proposal will cause serious traffic problems for the Cherrygarth and Trees Roads.

T h e y a d d e d : “ We understand that if it goes ahead it will restrict further development and expansion of both Oatlands primary and secondary schools.”

Councillor Carron McKinney (Lab) has said that local residents feel “under siege as they deal with a barrage of development plans in their neighbourhood”.

She said: “It is important that we balance our learnings from past planning mistakes with the

obvious need to address the current housing crisis. “ Howe ve r h a s t i l y drafted proposals which do not take into account the local environment, the local architecture and the current local stress points are not the way to move forward.”

TD for Dublin Rathdown, Catherine Martin (GP) and Cllr Karen Furlong (GP) have expressed serious concerns about what they see as the potential excessive development of Mount Merrion.

Deputy Martin said: “Now on top of the other developments, we see a new development in Cherrygarth being applied for. All of this in one calendar year.”

skills | high praise for star winner’s role in win

Kate’s salon work is a cut above at L’Oreal awards  Aisling Kennedy KATE O’Neill from Peter Mark hair salon in Dundrum Town Centre took home the Star Award at the 50th anniversary of the L’Oreal Colour Trophy awards last week.

The awards, which took place in the National Convention Centre, saw Kate win the award following a hotly contested competition.

She jetted off on a well-deserved holiday following her win, so The Gazette spoke to the hair salon manager at Peter Mark in Dundrum, Annemarie Golledge, to talk about about how Kate won the award.

She said: “The Star award is for anybody under the age of 25 who is starting out in hairdressing. So it can be a trainee, such as a colour technician, or it can be a stylist.”

To enter the competition, Kate had to pick a model in March and send in a photographic entry to get through to the semi-final.

“She then got through the semi-finals and into the final. On the day of the final, she had to go in and do an interview about the colour she had chosen and what her vision was, and who inspired her, hairdressing-wise.

Terry McGovern, L’Oreal Professionnel with Kate O’Neill of Peter Marks Dundrum, model Orla O’Farrell and presenter Amanda Byram at the L’Oreal Colour Trophy awards. Picture: Jon Bradley

“She then had to finish the model’s hair on the floor by blow drying

it for the judges to see.”

Annemarie said that the colour and cut was completed in the salon the previous day by the stylist in Peter Mark, Dundrum.

She said: “The Star award is like a salon entry, so she would have done the hair but because she’s not a qualified styl-

ist yet, she is allowed to have help from the stylist in the salon to do the cut for her.

“So, it is more of a salon win than it is for an individual. It’s her model and it’s her vision, and she has to present the model on the day, but it is definitely a salon team entry,” said Annemarie.

Hell Fire Club knife attack may have been ‘premeditated’ THE stabbing and assault incident which occurred earlier this week at the Hell Fire Club in the Dublin Mountains is believed to have been premeditated.

The attack occurred in broad daylight at Montpelier Hill when a group of people who were camping at the isolated ruin were set upon by a man in his 20s.

The attacker left two young men and a teenage woman requiring hospital treatment as a result of their injuries. One of the young men suffered a knife wound.

Gardai are currently interviewing a suspect in connection with the attack. The suspect is a 26-year-old male from the Raheny area.

He is currently detained at Tallaght Garda Station under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 after he was arrested on Monday evening in the Kilakee area of the Dublin Mountains, a short distance away from where the attack took place.

A source has revealed that a four-year-old boy who was in the area with his grandmother at the time of the attack witnessed the victims “covered in blood”.

The three victims were taken to Tallaght Hospital.

Their injuries are not serious and they have been recovering at home.

She said she was incredibly proud of Kate and her team, and added: “It was brilliant when we won, not only for Peter Mark in Dundrum Town Centre, but also for Peter Mark as a company.

“Kate did an excellent job and we’re very proud of her.”

Senator calls for an all-Ireland football team  emma nolan

The former councillor for the Sandyford Glencullen ward has called on the Minister forTransport, Tourism and Sport, Shane Ross to work with his Northern Ireland ministerial counterpart, as well as the FAI and IFA, to initiate the creation of an allIreland soccer team.

Senator Richmond believes that a team comprising players from the Northern Ireland team and the Republic of Ireland team will be “hugely beneficial” for all involved in the sport across Ireland.

He said: “With this kind of cooperation, sport is always the winner, and it really is one of the best tools to break down barriers. This is a real opportunity for the island of Ireland to fulfil its true potential in the beautiful game.”

You better be Quik - Skillar create new app to accelerate recruitment  Ian Begley

Skillar, an early-stage University College Dublin student venture, has won the 2016 UCD Startup Stars Programme.

Skillar is developing Quik, a new mobile application to accelerate the part-time recruitment process.

Quik will allow employers to streamline the hiring and job-search process by enabling them to advertise part-time jobs and subsequently shortlist and talk to locally-available applicants who apply through the application.

Quik will also provide validation of the previous work experience of applicants to shorten the recruitment and interview process.

The founders of Skillar are UCD students, Laurence McNally (Masters, Mechanical Engineering), Stephen Jones (4th year, Chemical Engineering) and Andrew Desmond (Masters, Digital Innovation).

UCD Startup Stars is an entrepreneurship programme developed by NovaUCD, UCD Innovation Academy and UCD Michael Smurfit Gradu-

ate Business School to provide a framework and support for UCD undergraduate and postgraduate students working together to develop and grow start-up companies.

UCD Startup Stars began earlier this year when students undertaking workshops and modules at UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School and at UCD Innovation Academy explored and evaluated a variety of real world problems before forming teams to develop start-up solutions to address the

identified problems.

Six student ventures, with 14 team members, were then selected to participate in an intensive mentoring programme which has taken place over the last 4 weeks at NovaUCD. The aim of this men-

toring programme was to assist the participants in refining their start-up ideas through a series of structured workshops including taught content from industry experts, interactive workshops and regular pitching sessions.

In addition each team also received a cash stipend and office space at NovaUCD. Following final pitches Skillar was selected as the overall winner, as it was judged to have the most commercial potential, and the founders

received a cash prize of €3,000 sponsored by Xilinx. Each of the five runners-up also received a cash prize of €500.

Laurence McNally, Skillar co-founder said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed our last 4 weeks at NovaUCD during which we have further developed our start-up idea and we are delighted that Skillar has won the 2016 UCD Startup Stars Programme.

“Skillar is currently at the feasibility phase and we plan to use our prize to further develop our product.

“Our aim is that Quik will be a more attractive and faster solution than traditional CVs and online applications for employers who are seeking part-time staff and individuals who are seeking part-time jobs.”

a day in the life: Room to Improve’s Ian hart sheds light on popular show Claude’s a

The Hart of the matter  Ian Begley

Ian Hart, the popular contractor and foreman on RTE’s Room to Improve, has a nononsense approach when it comes to design and renovation, and his evident skills and creativity makes it no surprise that he has secured a longstanding role in the TV home renovation series.

Specialist advice Aside from TV work, Ian also operates his own construction business Hart Of The Home, and produces a helpful blog of specialist advice on construction and home improvement.

For this week’s Day in the Life we caught up with Ian to get a feel of what it’s really like to be involved in the hit TV show, alongside architect Dermot Bannon.

I first got onto the show back in 2007 when myself and Dermot were approached while working in the same office in Dublin.

“When you’re on the programme it’s not easy by any means and Dermot is certainly not the easiest man to work with.

“It can be brutal at times, but you just have to keep the head down for three or four months and think of the end result.

“The biggest challenges are probably when we have to price projects.

“A lot of people think you’re getting loads of money for it because just because you’re on a TV show, but that’s anything but the truth.

“You have to go through a tender process and get the most competitive price for the project.

“You don’t just get handed a job, you have to go through the entire rigmarole of pricing everything.

“Keeping tabs on Dermot is actually the hardest thing. My no-nonsense attitude around him doesn’t work at all.

“He doesn’t care who you are or what you do he’s just a very hard man to get through to.”

Ian added that at times there is conflict on the show, especially when he doesn’t meet eye to eye with architects.

“Every job we do is for an architect. An architect has their own vision for a project and obviously the clients get to see the plans at the very beginning, but to see something in a plan and to visualise it is two different things altogether.

“Dermot mightn’t show up for two or three weeks at a time when the development has already been built, but at times he comes in and wants it completely different which gets very frustrating.

“I’d say the most gratifying part of my job is the whole buzz around a job when the cameras are rolling – it’s great for morale and I think everyone gets a kick out of it.

“It’s also really great seeing the homeowners moving into their new house and loving it, which is very satisfying. It gives you such a great sense of achievement.

“You’d never think it was Penneys!” is a phrase that sums up the ubiquitous Irish girl brand - Pennys and their Autumn Winter offering.

Hitting the shelves in late August/early September, the four main themes that run throughout the collection are; Winter Garden, Downtown, Studio 54 and Artisan.

The Winter Garden story

Dress €20, Belt €4

combines romantic opulence with lady-like chic. Layering is key here, as polo necks and t-shirts are styled under slinky spaghetti strap dresses, which are then juxtaposed with masculine tailoring for the outerwear.

Moody winter florals and delicate pyjama style pants are protected under chunky shearling and knitwear, while faux fur stoles and silky vintage print scarves go hand in hand for maximalist mismatching.

The Bowie-esque nod of the Studio 54 story combines metallics and sequins with patent fabrics, cinched waists and over the knee boots, harking back to disco glam.

Delicious lunches with a spicy twist  aishling kennedy

New range is loaded with tasty goodness

A m iddl e e a s t ern inspired cafe has opened on Dublin’s Dawson Street which offers delicious lunches with a spicy twist.

Tang, which was set up by the same company behind frozen yoghurt spot Yogism, opened its doors at 23c Dawson Street a few weeks ago and is mainly a lunchfocused cafe.

It offers both breakfast and lunch offerings, however, and includes Indian and Greek flavoured foods such as lamb kofta wraps with tzatziki, hummus and tomato salsa (€6.95), middle eastern chicken wraps (€6.95) , a

Abrakebabra has launched its long awaited Loaded Fries range which are inspired by the original Abra Taco Fries.

The new range includes the Rodeo Fries which is a combination of beer battered onion rings with bacon, garlic sauce, sweet barbecue sauce and fresh spring onions; the Chicken Katsu Curry Fries which combines crispy chicken fillet, curry sauce and fresh spring onions; and the Aussie Fries which combines crispy chicken fillet, sweet chilli sauce, sour cream sauce and fresh spring onions.

All of the Loaded Fries range are freshly made and prepared to order.

Abrakebabra is currently running an offer across all of its outlets to choose any one of the Loaded Fries range with a coca cola for €4.95.

New steak sauce has plenty of sizzle Ballymaloe Foods has launched a range of new products to coincide with its 26th year in business and our favourite has to be the Steak Sauce with Irish Stout.

As it’s the barbecue season it’s not hard to go wrong by stocking this for the summer months.

Yasmin Hyde who brought Ballymaloe Relish to shop shelves using her mother Myrtle Allen’s recipe, has now developed this sauce which infuses a rich tomato base, with tarragon and wholegrain mustard.

It also has a unique stout flavour from the addition of the Dungarvan Brewing Company “Black Rock Stout”.

The Steak Sauce with Irish Stout (€2.99) is made from all natural ingredients and is gluten free, dairy free and suitable for vegetarians. It is available nationwide now.

Delay compensation being left unclaimed Airline passengers are losing out on millions of euros in unclaimed compensation for delayed flights, according to a recent survey.

The total amount of unclaimed money for delayed flights amounts to about €145m, with less than a third of it being paid out by the airlines. The survey, conducted by money.co.uk, revealed that less than one-in-three passengers affected by delays have made a claim for compensation.

Making such claims is relatively easy since the introduction of strict EU

regulations on delayed and disrupted flights, according to Hannah Maundrell editor of the website.

The amount of compensation depends on the distance of the flight and the time you are delayed. For flights up to 932 miles delayed for more than three hours, passengers are entitled to €250. For flights over 932 miles for the same time delay, it’s €400. The top rate is for flights over 2,175 miles, set at €600.

Galway: let the little ones loose this summer at delphi resort

An adventure that all the family can enjoy

 Ian Begley

This summer, give your children a fun-filled experience and the ultimate adventure in Connemara and let them create unforgettable memories that will last forever.

There’s no playground in the world that can match what Ireland’s great outdoors has to offer so why not let the little ones loose this summer at Ireland’s leading adventure resort – Delphi Resort, who have over 30 years of experience in outdoor education and fully qualified camp leaders.

The Multi-Activity Camp features a range of water and land activities and is suitable for children and teens aged from 8 to 17 - your children will experience the great outdoors like never before, while making new friendships and lifelong memories.

For children who want to learn to build

confidence, be a team player and learn valuable life skills, the all new Teen Building Camp is not only full of fun and action-packed adventure, but also includes an extra focus on evolving life skills and encouraging the personal development of teens.

This camp will also feature a fun overnight expedition and is suitable for kids aged 12 to 17. Teens will be encouraged to identify their strengths and weaknesses and improve their interpersonal skills, all while having a fun at an action packed adventure-based camp.

Camps are available from July 3 to August 14 and admission begins from €229 - price includes meals, full board and all activities.

There is also a range of ‘fun for the little ones’ activities, designed to keep three to seven-yearolds occupied including a free kids club with arts and crafts, nature walks and mini bush craft survival to entertain the little ones for hours.

Parents can join the kids on their daily activities or leave them in the expert hands of Delphi Resort staff while they relax, cosy up with a good book, embrace the outdoors or visit the Delphi Spa for some time to themselves, with one hour complimentary access to the Thermal Suite included as part of the package.

The three-night family summer break at Delphi Resort is based on two adults and two children sharing and is available from €727 which includes 4-Star accommodation and full Irish breakfast each morning for the family, a three-course dinner in the 814 restaurant and

WEEBYTES cameras: fujifilm updates a classic piece of technology

These fighters are now worth billions

It’s a great Finnish for a buyout deal MANY of you have probably seen plenty of ads on television or your tablet for Clash of Clans – a mobile strategy war game; just one of a range of popular titles created by Supercell.

Gamers aren’t the only ones who’ve been eyeing up the Finnish company’s games – Chinese internet giant Tencent has just coughed up a wee bit more than ten cent for the company, thanks to a close to ten billion dollar buyout.

It’s small change for the Chinese colossus, with Tencent – behind WeChat, a Chinese alternative to all kinds of Western content providers such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and many, many more – itself already valued at $207bn.

However, the 84.3% stake buyout in Supercell has pushed the company’s worth past the Dr Evil-ish sounding ten beelyunn dollars mark, underscoring the staggering financial power that mobile gaming has quietly built up over the past few years.

Now taking its place in an elite group of EU companies worth more than $10bn (which my calculator suggests is equal to an awful lot of euro), the Tencent/ Supercell deal further shows how much ‘just’ games contribute to the global economy.

Take another shot at falling in love with Polaroid pics ONE of the great ironies of the recent surge in selfies is that, well, when was the last time you actually printed out that (cough) adorable shot of yourself pouting like a duck?

Come to think of it, when was the last time you printed out any photos – and I do mean, any?

Younger readers may need to be told that, back in Ye Olde Days, people used to – and I can hardly recall it myself – actually print out photos, rather than simply post, Tweet, share or forward digitalonly content.

Imagine that – having hundreds of photos to hand that you could actually pick up, touch, share or give away, rather than potentially hundreds of thousands of shots that you need to fire up a PC, tablet or phone to see!

How quaint!

Well, while a variety of photography giants of old have been slain by the mass migration to largely digital content, a few stalwarts remain, with Fujifilm refusing to go quiet into the filtered and digitally-stickered night.

interest not to abandon Ye Olde Wayes that has kept vinyl and wristwatches alive, Fujifilm is chasing the Polaroid fan.

Its Instax Mini 8 Polaroid camera (I’ll call it the Instax, for short) seeks to both build on nostalgia for Polaroids, and create new interest, by offering the modern version of Polaroids courtesy of its credit-card-sized (and thus super-sharable) Polaroid photos.

Available in a variety of colours, the Instax (RRP: €89.99; film packs €24.99 for 20 shots) is distinctly low-tech in nature – grab the chunky yet lightweight camera, point at the subject, click, and then hope for the best after the Polaroid has whirred out of the machine and begun to self-develop – but then, that’d always been part of the Polaroid charm.

It’s a one-time-only shot; no editing, no do-

lightweight Instax Mini 8 camera (above, left) is a reimagined Polaroid camera for a new generation looking to fall in love with instant, portable pics all over again

overs – just a handy, portable pic from a camera with some obvious attractions.

Whether for parents looking for quirky takehome souvenirs of parties or events, clubbers or partygoers happy to grab spur-of-the-moment shots with their ‘besties’ around them – whatever, the plucky Polaroid still has its use and attractions.

As you’d expect, the Instax is very easy to use, although correspondingly basic in operation, yet there’s no doubt that such simplicity has its charms.

With a limited aperture dial for lighting condi-

tions, there’s a little trial and error to get a feel for the kind of shots that will work – or won’t – while the flash is compulsory for all shots.

With such a decidedly old-skool practicality driving the camera, its low-tech approach to shots may seem like a step backwards to some, with many people today used to fiddling about with a hundred settings on their camera or phone as they chase their perfect pic.

However, not so with the Instax – you take your shot (by looking through

the small viewfinder (remember those?) and then wait to see how the credit card-sized pic will develop over the next minute or so.

And that’s it – that’s all you need to do. No fiddling about with settings, no mucking about with focus points – just click, grab the shot, and wait to see how it comes out. It’s a snap! (Sorry.)

Of course, while the Instax is a decidedly retro product, Fujifilm have of course also moved with the times, with its Fujifilm Imagine app (free; IOS, Android) catering for contemporary photographers.

It offers a wide range of printing options for those looking to pick up prints, posters, gifts and more, rather than try using a Polaroid camera.

With plenty of options to tinker with, the Imagine app offers a decent way to do something a little different with all those shots sitting there on your phone, gathering virtual dust.

So, whether reminding people of the fun of real Polaroids, or simply presenting a suite of options to do something with all those digital shots you’ve been accumulating, Fujifilm’s got options worth taking a shot at.

Fiat are offering up to €4,000 trade-in allowance across the Fiat 500 range, while Jeep are offering up to €4,000 off the Renegade Trailhawk

mid-year buying trends: we check out the manufacturer offers to tempt you to buy

Drive away with a bargain as major deals hit the market

 dave phillips

Car sales have always hit their peak at the start of a new calendar year, but since the adjustment to the registration system in 2013, a mid-year buying trend has been created.

And along with this year’s new 162 registration plates, there are plenty of manufacturer offers on the market.

This week we take a run down through some of the best.

Opel are offering the “smart switch” across their passenger range.

Opel’s package coincides with their focus on rolling out their OnStar communication and safety system – which we saw earlier this year

on the Astra – across the rest of their models.

The Opel manufacturer deals aren’t offering a cash incentive on new models (though individual dealers may well be), instead they are focusing on their current suite of finance deals.

If you want to go down the PCP route then they are offering leaner finance options on 162 registrations – though as with any motor finance offers, a magnifying glass and pencil are recommended.

Fiat are offering a more straightforward incentive – with up to €4,000 trade-in allowance across the nifty Fiat 500 range.

Bear in mind that you’ll only get a full €4,000 if you are trading against their top l e ve l 5 0 0 L M P W – but you can get up to €2,500 against the base model Fiat 500, dropping the cost down to €11,100 – which makes it a pretty attractive option if you’re in that market.

Again, there are some competitive PCP deals being offered across the Fiat fleet, with APR from 6.9% In the mid size market, that deal follows across to some of Alfa Romeo’s offerings.

While the snazzier Alfa Giulia retains its regular price tags, the still attractive Giulietta also offers trade-

ins, knocking €3,000 to €4,000 off the cost depending on configurations.

That can bring the sporty hatchback down under the €20,000 price mark.

For those eyeing up something a little larger in the crossover and SUV market, Jeep are offering up to €3,000 off the base model Renegade, and up to €4,000 off the higher end models like the impressive Renegade Trailhawk.

This market is pushing to be to the most competitive with midyear deals as Ford are also offering up to €4,750 off their Kuga models – again the maximum trade-in is reser ved against the

higher end configurations and trims.

However Nissan are also running some interesting deals on their Qashqai and X-Trail models that are definitely worth checking out.

While some manufacturers have pushed towards trade-ins, and others are pushing towards PCP, Nissan is offering a multiple choice option.

Either a trade-in offer, or an extra low rate for PCP, or a free servicing offer. For the month of July, they are offering a guaranteed €4,000 trade-in, and that not limited to their higher end configurations, but against all of their passenger range (and they

Ford are offering up to €4,750 off their Kuga models

are r unning similar deals on commercial fleet too).

Likewise their PCP (normally 6.9%) is dropping to 4% for new passenger deals, or you can choose three years free servicing.

As manufacturers embrace the new system, there are plenty of deals to be found and savings to be made over

the next month – but if you’re looking for the best value for money then it seems tough to beat the guaranteed trade-in deals.

A full breakdown of sales expected to be released from SIMI in the coming weeks will reveal whose mid-year incentives proved the most tempting for Irish buyers.

 glen fitzpatrick

I WENT along with the bookies and really thought they’d [Britain] remain [in the EU] but to see the result was really shocking.

Regardless of what everyone is saying, nobody really knows what’s going to happen next. I think there’s no doubt that it will have many bad repercussions for Ireland.

I also don’t think it’s fair to say everyone who voted to leave is a racist, because I think that will only deepen the divide between communities.

I WOKE up this morning and couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the news on the radio. I do think Brexit is going to have a big effect on Ireland.

We’re just a small little country and it feels like we’re out on a limb now that the UK has pulled out of the EU. I hope there won’t be too many negative repercussions for us, but I guess we have no choice but to wait and see.

 conor callaghan

MY BOYFRIEND is from Belfast and he woke up this morning nearly in tears at the result. He immediately applied for an Irish passport and isn’t sure what he’s going to do now.

There’s talk about holding a referendum for a united Ireland, which I would very much support, but I think it’s an unlikely possibility.

WITH the country focused on a single hot topic – Ireland’s defeat at the Euros – Gazette reporters Ian Begley and Emma Nolan asked Dubliners about the other burning issue of the day: “What do you think about Brexit?” This is what you said...  tommy owens

THE result was unexpected. I really thought that the remain side would have won. It’s hard to know what will happen, there’s been scaremon-

gering from both sides but they’ll just have to live with it.

I don’t think there will be any negative repercussions for Irish people, because I think we’ve settled in to the Euro-

pean family.

The only concern I have is that it might have a knock-on effect with some of the right-wing groups in other countries. I think we’re better together than separate.

I REMEMBER seeing how close the votes were on the television and knew when the results came out that so many people were going to be unhappy.

I wonder now what’s going to happen, regarding all of the changes that will have to be made. I think Ireland should stay in the EU because being such a small country I think they can offer us a lot of benefits.

I’M DELIGHTED for them – I would have voted leave. I think that the European project started as a good idea – it being a trade agreement – but it has become an entirely different animal; it’s politicised.

I don’t think there will be any negative repercussions for Irish people living in England.

ing, I think it’s tragic. I think it will have a big implication, not just for the UK but for Ireland, and maybe ultimately for the EU. I don’t think we can understate how serious it is.

FastSport Castleknock hosts mater charity match: LOCAL legends of the GAA past and present descend on Somerton Park for a charity football match on Saturday at 3pm in aid of St Francis Hospice and the Mater Foundation.

Organised by members of Castleknock GAA, this free event is inspired by the memory of the late Aine Chawke, an ardent Castleknock supporter whose family are part of the fabric of Castleknock.

Peadar Andrews, Senan Connell and Jason Sherlock will all play while Ciaran Kilkenny will be referee.

Somerton will also greet a range of entertainers including the Garda band. The match will be followed by a mega auction in the Carpenter Pub at 8pm with an amazing array of memorabilia on offer ranging from a signed Tiger Woods flag, Katie Taylor and Mike Tyson gloves, an Ireland-signed jersey, All-Black rugby ball and a signed Dublin football in a presentation case. The fun starts at 2pm.

cycling: roche the star of the show at national road championships

Nico races to Kilcullen double glory  sport@dublingazette.com

NICOLAS Roche claimed both the national road race and national time trial champion in the past week as he produced a series of brilliant rides at the event hosted

by Orwell Wheelers in Kilcullen.

First up, in the time trial, the Dundrum man was too strong for Eddie Dunbar and Ryan Mullen at the end of the 40km course from Kilcullen to Athy and back.

Mullen was looking to claim back-to-back titles but a crash in the Netherlands a week earlier perhaps took its toll on his chances.

Roche, meanwhile, set the benchmark with 47.14 seconds with Mullen over a minute back on 48.39 and Dunbar shy of the mark, too.

Roche last won this title back in 2007 and means he will get to wear the national champions jersey for the next year.

It will provide some solace for the Team Sky man who was omitted from their squad for the Tour de France – the first time he will not be in the marquee event since 2008.

He duly followed up with elite national road race title, again claiming the crown for the second time in his career despite rotten conditions on the road.

Roche did it in particularly trademark attacking style, pushing early and often to stretch out the field.

After one lap of the course, the main bunch lost heav y numbers while Roche’s breaks saw him go off the front

a couple of times.

The main jump that stuck saw Roche lead a group of eight riders go clear including four-time champion Matt Brammeier, building a oneminute lead over the peloton who attempted to bridge the gap.

But, in harsh conditions, they struggled to make major headway.

The gap did come down to 30 seconds at one stage but this served as the impetus for the leading pack to respond.

Going into the last loop of seven 26km laps, Roche made another bid for the front, one which dropped three more riders, leaving a bunch of five. He was joined only by Damien Shaw in this latest push for the line but he, too, would eventually be dropped as Roche put 34 seconds

Mark Conlon during one of his previous extreme challenges

between the two to go free for victory.

This pair of wins came just a couple of days after the Stephen Roche GP took place in the Meadowbrook estate in Dundrum.

In the main event, 80 participants took part.

Last year’s winner Jake Gray established the first break with four others, including Patrick Goszczyk, Gareth Enright and Freddie Stevens.

Gray and Stevens between them snaffled

up the first two primes before that group began to shell riders, leaving Gray, Goszczyk and Enright. Gray took the third prime before Goszczyk won the fourth.

Phil Lavery closed the gap to the leaders and then went on a solo attack with 10 minutes still remaining in the race, taking the final prime.

He then counter-attacked with Eoin Morton, and the duo built up a six second lead. With

two laps to go, it was clear they couldn’t work together well enough to hold off the baying hounds.

As the lead group came down the home stretch, it was anyone’s guess as to who would be at the head, but the National Criterium skin suit of ASEA’s Mark Dowling was fastest to the line. He was followed close behind by Cigala and the aggressive pair of Lavery and Morton in third and fourth.

Fitzgerald calls time on rugby career due to injury  sport@dublingazette.com

Luke Fitzgerald has announced his retirement

SANDYFORD man Luke Fitzgerald announced his retirement from professional rugby with immediate effect on Tuesday morning.

The 28-year-old sustained the injury during the Guinness PRO12 Final against Connacht and has been advised to retire on medical grounds.

Speaking about the retirement, the now former Leinster, Ireland and Lion said, “I’ve had a wonderful rugby career which makes it easy for me to move on to the

next stage of my life.

“It’s been an amazing journey in which I got to experience the highs and lows that come with professional sport and I have learned a huge amount from each experience. I’m now building on that foundation through completing my business degree.

“I’m very thankful for the opportunities I have had, the people with whom I’ve worked and the lifelong friends I have made. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the medical staff and coaches I’ve worked with throughout my

career and at Blackrock College.

It’s been an honour and a privilege to represent my province, my country and the British and Irish Lions during my career and I’m glad to finish my career as a one club man.

The Blackrock College man made his Leinster debut in September 2006 against Edinburgh.

He would go on to make a further 17 appearances for Leinster in his debut season, including three off the bench in the Heineken Cup. On the back of these performances in blue, only months after finishing his Leaving Certificate,

Fitzgerald made his debut for Ireland against the Pacific Islands in November 2006 in a 61-17 win.

Over the course of his career he would win 154 caps for Leinster, 34 for Ireland – the same number as his father Des won as a prop with Ireland – and also played for the British & Irish Lions in their tour of South Africa in 2009.

Most recently he was a part of the Ireland World Cup squad.

Fitzgerald’s achievements include a 6 Nations title with Ireland in 2015 and a Grand Slam in 2009 where he started every game on the wing.

Flynn steeples just shy of Santry gold

FastSport

Clonliffe Harriers man’s pursuit of national championship glory falls just short despite epic late fightback; he was one of a series of Dubliners to shine at Morton Stadium last weekend  karl graham sport@dublingazette.com

DAVID Flynn had to settle for a silver medal after he ran out of track when chasing Rory Chesser in the final of the 3,000m steeplechase at the Glohealth National Championships at Morton Stadium in Santry but it proved one of the highlights of a spectacular meet.

Chesser, who finished in a time of 9.07.83, set a fierce pace that proved too much for most of his rivals but as he tired over the last lap, Flynn was giving it his all to try and pip him on the line. However, he left his surge too late and had to be content with second place.

Flynn spoke to the Gazette after the race about his disappointment

of not winning.

“This race was tough to swallow. I ran the race with a plan from the start to sit on the fastest guy in the field and when he makes a move I follow because I was confident that if I was with him with a lap to go there was only one winner. But with two and half laps to go he drops out.”

The man Flynn is talking about is Tomas Cotter, the fastest marathon man in Ireland and winner of the race last year. He had to pull out of the race after a virus proved too much to deal with at the pace the race was run.

“I was put in a completely different scenario with two guys ahead of me. I went in chase of them but, with a very strong wind, it was hard to commit 100 percent to

reeling them in.

“So with a lap to go I really went for it, caught second place and kicked again in pursuit of first.

“Over the last water jump, I could see him coming back to me but I stuttered over the last barrier and lost a bit of momentum so when I got in full flight again it was too late,” said Flynn who finished just a few strides back from Chesser who held a 30m lead at one stage.

Next up for Flynn, who recently signed a sponsorship deal with Skechers, will be to test himself against some of the best internationals at a 5k in Birmingham, before returning to Morton Stadium for the games on July 22.

Pierre Murchan won 3,000m gold for the Dublin City Harriers, while his club mate Catherine McManus took silver in the women’s 200m after crossing the line on 24.23.

English foot injury no issue in nationals win  karl graham sport@dublingazette.com

MARK English, picture in jersey 194, made a successful return to action as he won 800m gold at the Glohealth National Championships at Morton Stadium.

The UCD man’s time of 1.51.58 put him just ahead of Declan Murray, with English’s club mate Karl Griffin taking the bronze medal.

The win comes in English’s first race in four months, following a stress reaction in his fourth metatarsal in early March - an injury which forced him to miss the IAAF World Indoor Championships.

He sustained the injury after stepping into a pothole but has undergone a rigorous rehab programme to get himself back fit in time for the Rio Olympics in August.

English, one of Ireland’s leading track hopes, has opted not to compete at the European Championships in July, instead preferring to train at home in order to get himself in peak fitness for Rio. He spoke to the Gazette trackside after the race about his return to competitive action: “My aim was just to try and control the race, to go out and lead it the whole way and I managed to do that today.

“It’s my first race in about four months so training has been going well but you always need a race to get that difference and today worked out very well. The foot feels good, there is finally no more pain in it,” said English.

The 23-year-old will be hoping that this victory will put to bed any fears over his fitness with so many people excited about seeing him line out for Ireland at the Olympics.

There were other good performers from UCD with Ciara Mageean the pick of the bunch by landing gold in the women’s 1500m in a time of 4.24.33.

Alanna Lally also came away from the weekend with a bronze medal in her pocket in the women’s 800m after posting a time of 2.10.28.

The tournament offers golfers a unique opportunity to sample the delights of this beautiful nine-hole parkland course set at the foothills of the Dublin mountains. Last year’s winners from Rathfarnham, Woodenbridge, Roganstown as well as Kilmashogue will be there to defend their titles.

KGC has many sibling combinations, none more so than captain Healy who has both a brother and a sister in the club. This year, it is the turn of her sister Elaine who was last year’s Captain of the Ladies Club to line out with Deirdra.

Registration for the competition is open now and, including BBQ lunch and glass of wine, costs at €50 per pair. Booking is available on KGC’s website – www.kilmashoguegc.ie/ siblings, kgcsiblings@gmail.com or by phoning 089 4389137.

Rovers quartet named in Irish Under-16 panel FOUR players from Three Rock Rovers received call-ups to the Irish Under-16 side named on Monday morning for a six nations international tournament in Belgium.

Luke Adams, Rob McCollum, Harry Lynch and goalkeep-

er Nick Judge were all named in the panel for the competition following a superb season that saw the Rathfarnham club win both the Leinster senior league and the Benny Atkinson cup without drawing or losing a single game.

Elsewhere, the club’s first team coach Niall Denham received an FIH level three coaching badge following a course in London.

DSD clean up at nationals  karl graham sport@dublingazette.com

BRANDON Hargreaves produced a fantastic performance to win gold in the 10,000m at the GloHealth National Championships in a closely fought battle with Mark Christie and Mick Clohisey The standard was high at Santry’s Morton Stadium as all three medallists finished in less than 30 minutes, but 23-year-old Hargreaves’ time of 29 minutes 45 seconds was too good for his rivals.

Clohisey led for most of the race but couldn’t keep up after Christie and

Dundrum South Dublin man Hargreaves kicked on and went toe-to-toe over the last 300m.

The latter two traded places several times during the run in but Hargreaves found a little bit extra to surge past Christie over the last 50m.

The National Championships give athletes there final chance of achieving a qualification time good enough for the European Championships, which takes place in Amsterdam next month.

pionships as she pipped Phil Healy to the line in the women’s 400m – a race that featured three of her club mates Lauren Hansson, Gabrielle Coveney and Mollie O’Reilly.

17-year-old O’Reilly finished fifth and set a qualification time for the European junior championships. The three ladies also combined with Rachel Dunne to romp away with the 4x400m gold.

In Javelin, DSD’s Anita White retained her national title with a throw of 47.89 despite the javelin being blown off course a number of times in the

windy conditions.

Back on the track, Emmet Jennings produced a gutsy performance to take bronze in the men’s 3,000m steeplechase.

The weekend also saw David Gillick return to action after three years out of competition. Gillick spoke earlier in the year about the 400m having left him mentally scarred with a bruised and battered body.

His comeback was a success as he produced a fantastic finish to win the bronze medal after setting a time of 46.44. He will now represent Ireland once more at the Euro-

pean Championships.

DSD also provided the most dominant display of the weekend when Siofra Cleirigh Buttner blew away the field in the women’s 800m final after crossing the line in a time of 2.04.72 – six seconds faster than her closest rival.

There were also several athletes finishing just outside the top three – with others setting personal best times.

All-in-all, the National Championships proved a huge success for DSD as they returned home as the top team with an impressive haul of five gold and two bronze medals.

Galvin makes Crokes senior hurling debut

ahl division 1 Na Fianna 1-15 Kilmacud Crokes 3-12  sport@dublingazette.com

KERRY football legend Paul Galvin made his debut for the Kilmacud Crokes senior hurlers after his high profile switch to the club from Lixnaw hurling club.

He helped the Stillorgan club overcome Na Fianna by three points to move up third place in the table, albeit with an extra game played to their nearest rivals in the title race.

With several regulars absent due to Dublin

senior and Under-21 intercounty duties, it was an opportunity for some new faces on the Crokes team with the four-time All-Ireland football inner among them.

Crokes were out of the blocks early, raising the white flag four times before the hosts registered their first score.

Two well-taken goals, one by Barry O’Rorke, the other by Barr y Horan, stretched the visitors’ lead even more.

However, Na Fianna continued to pop over the points and finally hit the net just before the

short whistle. It meant the first half ended 2-7 to 1-6 in favour of Crokes but very much in the mix.

After the break, Na Fianna started the brighter with four points in succession to draw level. From then until the 50th minute, both teams traded points with neither side gaining a significant advantage.

However, a surging run by Horan, set up Caolan Conway, for a vital goal allowing Crokes to pull ahead again, finishing up winners by three points.

Elsewhere, K ilma-

cud’s senior footballers picked off a pair of victories in AFL Division 1, starting off with a 3-9 to 1-3 win against Fingal Ravens at Rolestown.

They followed up with an important 2-8 to 1-7 win over St Sylvester’s in Silverpark to stay in a share of first place in the table.

Syl’s got off to perfect a start racing into a 1-2 to no score lead. The sides were tit-for-tat till the half and then in the second half Crokes went up a gear and goals for Pat Burke and a penalty from Mark Vaughan saw them home.
