Vehicle and Bicycle Theft: Unfortunately, 2022 has seen an unprecedented rise in the unlawful taking of motor vehicles and bicycles from all areas in the Dublin Metropolitan Region. With the ever increasing and welcome use by all ages using bicycles and embracing more active travel. With advancements in bike designs, they can be expensive and it is important that we remember to secure with a good lock at all times.
Lucan Leisure Complex: A new facilities operator Aura, has been appointed to manage the former Lucan Leisure Centre, currently nearing completion of welcome renovations, and expected to be open in advance of the summer. Concerns at facilitating former tenants have been stressed by both myself and others, and the new operator has been encouraged by the council to reach out to those past tenants wishing to avail of the facility again.

Stand Against Racism: Le Cheile and United Against Racism have called a rally for all those who want to stand against racism for February 6th at 1.30pm outside the GPO.
A migrant camp was violently attacked. Direct provision centres are targeted. Social media is awash with hate and vitriol, all based on ignorance and prejudice. Misleading and fact-free slogans and tropes are circulated and accepted as fact when they are simply a tissue of lies. If we believe in solidarity there are times when we must show it, even in the face of antagonism and racism. Now is that time.

Embassy Wall update: I can confirm the following official update on the embassy wall 'SDCC had appointed Roughan & O’Donovan to carry out the design of the new wall. The detailed design is now complete and is being reviewed by SDCC staff. If it is acceptable, we will be passing this to the Italian Embassy staff and requesting that they progress with the repair of the wall as soon as possible. Separately SDCC have engaged with relevant utility companies and agreed all enabling works. This advanced engagement will save significant time on the overall time of the project'.
Creches/ECCE providers: Parents and creche/ECCE providers are contacting me regarding the shortage of creche/ECCE places in the Lucan area. I will continue to raise this matter with council planners and Ministers until the matter is resolved, until then I'm assisting creche/ECCE service providers.
