Scully’s Field, Milltown
The campaign to secure Scully’s Field as part of the Dodder Linear Park is ongoing and I have used every opportunity to continue to raise this at City Council level. Following the publication of new regulations about building on floodplains the City Manager has agreed to write to the Minister for the Environment seeking funds…

A Little Piece of Ranelagh History
A little piece of Ranelagh history is to be marked following agreement by the City Council to re-erect the name plate for Moran’s Cottages. The Cottages are a small enclave just off the Ranelagh Triangle and were once owned by the local Moran family. While the area is not in charge of the Council and…

Pembroke-Rathmines – New Electoral Boundaries
As some of you may know, the new areas for the Local Elections have now been determined and Donnybrook is now part of the new Pembroke-Rathmines area. That area will elect six City Councillors, and Labour has selected Councillor Mary Freehill, Councillor Oisin Quinn and me to contest. We believe it is possible to retain…

Education Cuts
While we have had some political success in forcing the Government to reverse the removal of the automatic entitlement to a Medical Card for the Over 70s, we have not so far been able to persuade them to reverse the cuts in education expenditure. These cuts will seriously impact on the ability of schools and…

History of Beech Hill & Beaver Row

Beech Hill Community Centre
Following the recent public meeting, the newly appointed Committee held their first meeting on Thursday last and elected new Officers and adopted a work programme.

It’s that time of year again – the Electoral Register is being prepared. At Dublin City Council, we’ve come up with a poster to encourage those who may not have been born here, but still have a right to vote, to register. As readers may or may not know, anyone can vote in Local Elections…

Flooding & Drainage Issues in St Alban’s Park, Sandymount
Residents in St Alban’s Park, Sandymount, have recently been having some problems with flooding and drainage issues. I put a question to the City Manager at the last meeting of Dublin City Council. You can see the reply below. While I am reluctant to put onto a blog precise details as they relate to individual’s…

The Left Hook on Newstalk
I’m delighted to have been asked to co-present The Right Hook this Friday on Newstalk. I’m a big fan of the show, and have always gotten on very well with George Hook when a guest in the past. Newstalk have now decided to have an occasional guest host join George for shows, and it’s a…
