New developer on the cards for Quays THE long-awaited, €500m North Quays project hopes to get off the ground with a new developer, after the long-touted Saudi Arabian investment failed to proceed. A preferred developer has now been identified for the North Quays development after Falcon Real Estate said it was unable to meet the funding timetable. The Saudi-backed firm said it had secured €400m for the ambitious project — but did not meet funding pre-conditions set by Waterford City and County Council. Now, Waterford has identified a preferred developer for the project. The North Quays project involved the greatest urban regeneration ever attempted in Waterford and included a 15-storey hotel and conference centre, twin blocks of office space rising to seven storeys, 300 apartments in five structures varying between seven to 17 storeys in height as well as a major open public amenity space. However, some Waterford

that

there is no movement with

the North Quays project by 2023, the funding should be redirected into other local developments. Councillor Adam Wyse said if there was no action taken in the short-to-medium term with the North Quays, other Waterford projects should be prioritised. Cllr Wyse said some hard decisions needed to be taken over the project. “We’re here now in 2022 five years later and we still don’t have anybody – obviously it was really disappointing when Falcon Real Estate let us down, as far as I’m concerned,” he told WLRFM. “That’s as far as I think a lot of people in Waterford are concerned. “I said then in June 2021 that if we’re here in 12 months’ time – that we need to think about reinvesting those funds back into the existing city centre. “I’ve had conversations in private with the executive of Waterford Council. They have confirmed that we are now down to one developer.” Continued on next page

20 years of rescue Minister of State at the Department of Transport Hildegarde Naughton, attended an event recently at Waterford Airport to recognise 20 years of Helicopter Search and Rescue services out of Waterford. The event acknowledges the people and the crew who have been so diligently providing this invaluable service to the southeast over the last two decades.

BIG Congratulations to the three Waterford students who have won top prizes in this year’s 68th Texaco Children’s Art Competition. In the 14-15 years age category, Megan Hogan (pictured above with her sister Jane, mother Donna and brother Jamie), a pupil at Gaelcholáiste Port Láirge, Ballygunner, won first prize for an artwork entitled ‘3,168

Minutes Of Reverie’. Megan’s work was described by Final Adjudicator, Professor Gary Granville as “a wonderful rich portrait that achieves a strong effect through the absence of colour.” In addition, two Waterford winners each won Special Merit Awards for artworks that Professor Granville said, “displayed high levels of skill and creativity.”

No stranger to the competition, Aoibhe also won a Special Merit Award last year.

Developer for North Quays

Continued from previous page “We’re in discussions to try and actually bring the North Quays along,” Cllr Wyse continued. “The larger contractors that we are looking to develop this (just) cannot get the sub-contractors. This is something that has been happening all over the world. “I’ve been given assurances that within the next three months we will start to see some sort of an announcement as to what will be developed at the North Quays — and an announcement could come in terms of naming a developer.” It is understood infrastructural work around the North Quays will proceed and this will include 1.3km of urban dual carriageway, local Ferrybank road upgrades with improvements for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. There will be a new train station, transport interchange and public works directly north of the strategic development zone as well as a 207-metrelong pedestrian, cycle and public transport bridge across the River Suir, with an opening span to accommodate river traffic.

Schools hosting 211 pupils from Ukraine

ALMOST 6,000 Ukrainian pupils are now enrolled in Irish schools, with more than two thirds taking their places in primary schools, as refugees from the war-torn country settle into Irish life. The Department of Education said that as of the end of May, some 5,843 Ukrainian pupils are in schools across the country, with 3,968 in primary schools and 1,875 pupils in post-primary. In Waterford, there are 139 pupils in primary and 72 in secondary schools. Specialist teams have been set up across the country’s education and training boards to assist in the transition, the department has said. The Regional Education and Language Teams (REALT) will primarily “build on existing regional education support structures”, it said. The initial focus will be on assisting families in securing school places. Dublin, as expected, has by far the most Ukrainian children now in primary and secondary schools, with 731 and 369 respectively.

That is followed by Cork and Kerry, who both have accommodated similar numbers to each other. “REALT is also supporting schools in the area to meet the needs of these children as they emerge, advising and supporting the department in developing new capacity, where required,” a department spokesperson said. For prospective students, information for parents is available in both Ukrainian and Russian on accessing school places at the Government’s website. Further and Higher Education Minister Simon Harris said last week that under current plans being put together by the Government, Ukrainian third-level students would not be obliged to pay international fees for entry onto courses, while they will also be eligible for State grants. The number of Ukrainian students seeking places on third-level courses is not yet known. The department will continue to publish figures on the enrolment of Ukrainian children each month.

Woman held in UK for burglary

A WATERFORD woman was one of two people arrested for stealing power tools in a series of burglaries in England, in April. The woman (24), teamed up with a 65-year-old local man to carry out a string of eight break-ins in Fordingbridge, Hampshire on the night of April 2. The pair targeted garages and sheds across several locations, including Newgrounds and Southampton Road in Godshill, and Moot Lane in

Hale. An investigation was subsequently launched and local police identified the two suspects a month later. Following a search of the vehicle, police discovered a haul of power tools including an angle grinder, a chainsaw, and a leaf blower, along with general tools and a toolbox. Both the man and woman were arrested on suspicion of burglary and handling stolen goods. They were later released under investigation pending further enquiries.

Into the blue for our beaches with five flags

A TOTAL of 95 Irish beaches and marinas have been awarded Blue Flags this year, marking an all-time record for Ireland — and Waterford will be flying five Blue Flags on its beaches, making a great summer for 2022. The five beaches in Waterford which have been classified as excellent this year are: Ardmore Beach; Clonea Beach; Counsellors’ Strand; Dunmore Strand, Dunmore East and Tramore Beach. It wasn’t such good news for some of the country’s other beaches however. Five well-known beaches have lost their ‘blue flag’ status, including the popular Bray South Promenade, in County Wicklow. An Taisce, the national trust for Ireland, revealed the upgrades and downgrades in its International Blue Flag and Green Coast Award competition for 2022. Along with the Wicklow beach, those awarded the ‘blue flag’ in 2021 but not this year were Warren, Cregane Strand,

Lucy Vaughan, Lucy Hayden, Anna Mackey, Caitlin Lowry, Aine O’Toole and Ruby Fanning who received Excellence in Academic Achievement Awards at the Ardscoil na Mara awards. Pic: John Power in Co Cork; Traught, Kinvara in Co Galway; and Carrowmore and Clare Island in Co Mayo. None of these beaches achieved the ‘excellent’ water quality classification necessary to be awarded the blue flag. And for those considering a bit of travel while on staycation, Seven beaches not awarded

a blue flag in 2021 have been awarded one for the coming bathing season. These were: Trá Inis Oírr main beach in Co Galway, Fountainstown and Youghal Front Strand in Co Cork; Balcarrick, Donabate and Rush, South Beach in Fingal; Ballybunion North Beach in

Kerry and Ballymoney North Beach, in Co Wexford. For Trá Inis Oírr, it was the first time it has received the blue flag. The Blue Flag Programme has been in operation since 1987 with the first awards presented for the 1988 bathing season, when just 21 flags were awarded.

€80k fund for Crough Wood

MINISTER for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, has announced €15m in funding as part of a new five-year strategic partnership with Coillte designed to boost rural tourism, with Waterford standing to gain €80,000 in funding to develop Crough Wood, as well as open a new trail for walkers. Announcing the funding, Minister Humphreys said: “Our forest parks, walking and cycling trails and upland areas are what makes Rural Ireland stand out. “Right across the country,

people of all ages reap the benefits of these unique natural amenities on a daily basis. “This €15m partnership between the Department of Rural and Community Development and Coillte will further enhance our great outdoors – benefitting hundreds of thousands of people for years to come. “As Minister, investing in our great outdoors has been a major priority of mine. “We all know the benefits that our forest parks and outdoor trails provide in terms of both our physical and mental wellbeing,” she added.

The parade itself takes place on Saturday, June 4, when proud members of LGBTQ+ community and allies will meet at Cathedral Square in the Viking Triangle before striding along the Quay to Hanover Street, followed by speeches and entertainment.

House prices set to fall but here’s the bad news ...

irst the good news: house prices in Ireland will soon start to fall and sky-high rents will be rolled back. Service industries will be able to fill their job vacancies and it will be possible to find an electrician or plumber to work on your home. Now the bad: these developments will be caused by an international recession which will hit Ireland harder than most. House prices will fall because few people will want to buy them; the same process will drive down rents. Unemployment will rise and employers will find it easy to fill vacancies, even at lower levels of pay. The recession will be caused by the phenomenon known as stagflation, where workers are awarded pay increases to compensate for inflationary price hikes. The inflationary cycle, if not broken at an early stage, becomes impossible to control;

Michael Wolsey

industrial output falls and the economy stagnates, savings are eroded and anyone on a fixed income is faced with the prospect of penury. Am I certain about these harrowing predictions? Not entirely certain, to be honest. But, unlike almost everyone in Government or Opposition, I have seen it all before. Ireland went down this rocky road in the 1970s and 80s. We are on that

path again and I don’t hear anyone shouting ‘stop!’. In the early 1970s Ireland was enjoying a phase of relative prosperity. Industrial output was up, along with exports and wages. Our position was enhanced by impending membership of the then European Economic Community, which we joined in 1973. As a country we were earning more, but also borrowing more. The prospect of European membership made borrowing easier and Irish governments began to provide better services for our citizens on a ‘live now, pay later’ basis. The economy worked like one of those centrifugal wheels you see at funfairs where everyone sticks to the wall so long as it keeps spinning. When it slows down they all slide off. In 1974 international trade stopped spinning. OPEC, the organisation of Gulf states that supplied most of the West’s oil, imposed an

embargo on the US because of its support for Israel in a war with Egypt. The ban extended, in a patchy fashion, to much of Europe, including Ireland. The price of oil doubled , then quadrupled, pushing the cost of almost everything else through the roof. Workers demanded commensurate pay increases, but they were worthless because prices kept rising and even the money they were paid with was losing its value. Because that country does not go in for collective bargaining and has relatively few public service employees, America suffered badly at the time but recovered quickly. In Ireland, where powerful public service unions set the pace, the problem went on for years. Pay demands followed price hikes and were usually conceded only after costly, disruptive strikes. Before Ireland had escaped the cycle, the world was plunged into a new one, when the Iranian Revolution of 1978

caused another oil shortage. The rate of inflation in Ireland had fallen that year to 7.71% (about what it is now) but leapt to 13.3% the following year and hit 18.15% in 1980. I was then half of a young couple who had just bought a house and our mortgage repayment rate at one stage topped 20%. Many of these factors are in play today. EU backing has allowed our heavily-indebted exchequer to borrow at will and exceptionally low interest rates encouraged the Government to splash the cash in response to the many problems thrown up by the Covid pandemic. True, the Irish economy is much stronger than in 1974 - nevertheless, we are living wildly beyond our means, as we were then. The war in Ukraine has, like the OPEC embargo, led to a fuel shortage and pushed up the price of everything. Unions are responding with inflationary wage demands. Public sector

unions are leading the charge and the Government is showing no will to resist them. Irish governments could not resolve the inflation crisis of the 1970s and 80s, that depended on factors beyond our borders. But a lot of the things they did made matters worse. What we need now is a collective will to ride out this crisis. There should be pay rises, of course, but not across-the board rises aimed at matching price hikes. Government aid should be targeted at those who suffer most: people in very low -paid jobs and on social welfare and other fixed incomes. To pay for that, the Government should cut back on every other form of spending that is not immediately necessary. We will all suffer but a short shock is better than a lingering malaise. For Ireland, the inflation crisis of 1974 lasted more than a decade. We should learn from our mistakes, not repeat them.

Humble Hawthorn – Magnificent Mayflower

My favourite Hawthorn tree near Newcastle (Photo: JC Ivory) Over the last couple of weeks the countryside has become adorned and lit up with an exuberance of snowy white blossoms. Hedgerows, field boundaries and trees seem to be dressed as for a wedding or a communion. What is responsible for this resplendent erumpent display? It is the Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna). This native, deciduous tree, which in winter looks so stark, bleak, gnarly and tough with vicious thorns, in May breaks into wonderous blossom. The timing of its’ flowering gives rise to its more common name the Mayflower. It is the white blossom of the Hawthorn that Shakespeare refers to as “the darling buds of May” in one of his most famous sonnets – Sonnet No. 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

film of the week

What Eden Did Next by Sheila O’Flanagan

conversations with friends RTE1, 9.35pm, Wednesday June 1

firestarter Cinemas nationwide

ANOTHER recommended beach read from this best-selliing author. Eden found perfect love with Andy but how it ended was shocking. For the five years since, her little daughter Lila — and Eden’s secret letters to Andy — have been all she needed. And Andy’s family like it that way. Rafe wants nothing more than to start a new life back home in Ireland. It’s time for him to turn the page on his own tragedy. And every woman in the neighbourhood is ready to help a single dad settle in. When Eden and Rafe meet, it seems that everyone has a good reason for thinking their tentative relationship is a bad idea . . .

AS Frances and Nick grow closer things become tense between Bobbi and Frances, as Bobbi senses a change in her friend. A visit from Melissa’s agent raises tensions in the villa. Meanwhile, back in Ireland, tensions remain unresolved with Bobbi, while Frances visits her mother, but a bout of terrible pain leads her to be rushed to hospital. If none of this makes any sense to you, then you have either chosen to ignore one of the biggest TV dramas in recent years, or, like some of drab and miserable characters in the series, couldn’t really be arsed either way.

IN Firestarter, Zac Efron must protect his pyrokinetic daughter once the government discover her secret powers . . .say what? Pyrokinesis, it’s one of the more unusual superpowers. And in Blumhouse’s re-imagining of Stephen King’s Firestarter novel, Charlie McGee (Ryan-Kiera Armstrong) is born with the super-power, but her father Andy (Zac Efron) taught her how to quell her power. This works until Charlie turns 11, and suddenly her power is getting harder and harder to contain and as you can imagine, all Hell breaks loose.

RECIPE of the week

album of the week

TaurusSupport your partner and be supported. Strengthen your collaboration by keeping your side of the bargain. Share results and new tricks. GeminiFocus on immediate actions to handle urgencies. Communications issued now go the distance with longlasting results. CancerSet duties and responsibilities aside for a bit, and go have fun. Plan an adventure with someone beloved. LeoThe gentle approach works best at home with family. Make improvements after figuring out what’s wanted and needed.

night sky Amazon Prime MARRIED couple Franklin (J.K Simmons) and Irene (Sissy Spacek) York are growing old together, living a seemingly quiet life. However, they share a secret: their back yard contains a portal to another planet. Thus we become witness to a mystery the couple have been trying to get to the bottom of for yonks. While the two leading starrs — excuse the pun — carry this interesting plot well, Night Sky is essentially built around a decent idea for a 100-minute movie, which it then stretches to eight hours and may prove a little plodding for some.

event of the week

summer meatballs www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/summermeatballs-spaghetti

We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong Sharon Van Etten

EVERYONE loves a meatball. So what’s the difference between a summer meatball and a winter meatball? Not a lot, really, apart from summer vegetables throw in to green it up a little — in this case, courgettes. The pork mince is also mixed with garlic and fennel which combine wonderfully with the courgettes. Toss the pasta and meatballs with the courgette ribbons in the pan with a ladleful of pasta water and add a good dash lemon juice and a scatter of parmesan.

WRITTEN in the lockdown, this homerecorded (sixth) album sees her work her way through her roles as a parent and musician, and battle her demons. The pandemic arrived with bad timing for the musician, who had uprooted her life and moved to Los Angeles – she’d lived in New York for 15 years – when she found herself stuck indoors like the rest of us. The 10 songs on We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong land quite hard and may not be summer listening, but like her best work, they take on the meanings that her listeners always need.

SHOW of the week

WINE of the week

The Darling Buds of May (Photo: JC Ivory) The Hawthorn is known by many names – Mayflower, Maybush, Quickthorn, Hagthorn, Haw, Maythorn, May, Mayblossom, Bread and Cheese Tree and the Fairy Tree. The Hawthorn has long been associated with the fairy folk in Irish folklore. Fairy rings and Hawthorn trees seem to go hand in hand. To this day you will see many a field with isolated Hawthorn trees and an untouched circle around it where the farmer dare not touch it for fear of incurring the wrath of the fairy folk. The Hawthorn’s genus name Crataegus comes from the Greek kratos, which means strength and refers to the hardness of the Hawthorn’s wood.

AriesManage practical expenses and payments with shared accounts. Discuss priorities, and make sure you’re on the same page.

VirgoImpracticalities and foundational weakness become apparent. Once the message is polished and approvals are complete, share it far and wide. LibraMove quickly to catch a profitable windfall. Compute expenses, and provide excellent service. Emotions could affect your workplace. ScorpioUse your power responsibly. You don’t want to run over anyone. Keep a diplomatic tone as you advance a personal project. Sagittarius-

Peaceful settings soothe your spirit. You’re especially sensitive. Alternate between physical exercise and quiet reverie. CapricornResolve structural breakdowns with teams and committees. Confer with allies, and keep communication channels open.

dungarvan pride festival Saturday, June 18th

dirtbirds — no filter On tour May/June: www.dirtbirds.net/tour.html

Dungarvan’s first ever PRIDE Festival will take place in Walton Park, Dungarvan. A celebration of LGBTQ+ people and culture, the event boasts a fun and exciting programme filled with music, food, family fun, magic and drag! Emilene Stafford, one of the committee’s co-chairs, is looking forward to Dungarvan’s inaugural PRIDE Festival. “While the day is about celebrating LGBTQ+ people, it is a day to be enjoyed and celebrated by everyone.” Picutred: Kerrie Bedell, proprietor of Ballot Flowers and John Gomes-Rea Dungarvan Pride.

IN a world where women are expected to have the patience of mother Teresa, the arse of Jennifer Lopez, the social media profile of Kim Kardashian and the BMI of Elle McPherson the pressure is relentless. Dirtbirds the comedy duo and internet sensation present their hilarious new show ‘No Filters’ which takes a close look at the barrage of bull we are subjected to on a daily basis and reminds us that despite what we’re told there is no such thing as perfect.

Côtes du Rhône Villages 2020, Lidl — €8.50 www.lidl.ie IF FRANCE is your dream destination and you can’t make it there this summer, then the words Côtes du Rhône will no doubt come to mind, as it is a staple wine in restaurants and on supermarket shelves. Easy-drinking, food-friendly wines that don’t cost a packet, this little gem from Lidl is described as a medium- to full-bodied wine, with soft rounded strawberry fruits – this would go down well with beef or lamb stews, or baked Mediterranean veg.

AquariusConsider professional assignments and opportunities. A challenge or competition requires dedication. PiscesGet adventurous. Get out and explore a curious subject. Can you mix business with pleasure? Enjoy classes, conferences and workshops.

Citywide community notes Paddy Casey Live @ The Churchyard Sessions Paddy Casey performs Live at The Churchyard Sessions at The Reg Waterford on Saturday 4th June in association with Rockshore. Paddy Casey has been at the forefront of the Irish music scene since his debut album Amen (So Be It) in 1999, while his second release Living became the biggest seller in Ireland out-selling U2. ‘Won’t Take Much’, the latest release from the album is a bouncy, uplifting, guitar-driven song bursting with brass and strings. Featuring on the first part of the double album ‘Turn This Ship Around’, the single reflects the upbeat, electric, synth and guitar driven side to the album, while the second part embodies a more laidback, acoustic vibe. 4th Annual Billy Kelly Memorial Walk The 4th annual Billy Kelly Memorial Walk will take place on Sunday 5th of June 2022. We’re delighted to be able to do it again this year after not being able for the last two.

See you all there! Master Cheng Garter Lane Arts Centre, Tuesday June 7th 7.30-9.15pm.

Following the death of his wife, master chef Cheng travels with his young son to a remote village in Finland to connect with an old Finnish friend he once met in Shanghai. Upon arrival, nobody in the village seems to know his friend but local café owner Sirkka offers him accommodation and in return Cheng helps her in the kitchen, surprising the locals with the delights of Chinese cuisine.

Unable to tour during lockdown, thousands have enjoyed logging on to FB Live to see them perform tunes from 2016’s career highlight SUGAR ISLAND right back to their 1989 debut SONGS FOR THE TEMPTED, which first put them on the pop map with MARY, as well as their latest lockdown inspired radio hit WAITING GAME.

Nine-year-old Cáit is sent by her dysfunctional family to spend the summer with an Aunt and Uncle she has never met before.
