239 bus: I continue to engage with the Ombudsman trying to extend the route to give direct access to Blanchardstown hospital. I know this is of particular importance to Arthur Griffith Park and Sarsfield Park. Thank you for your messages of support.
Outdoor dining: I welcome the outdoor dining grants just announced by SDCC. Many of us want to support local businesses and are keen to meet up in safe outdoor environments. As you know, I have been asking the authorities to take a leadership role and I welcome this initiative.
Weddings: Summer weddings have been given a new energy by the lifting of restrictions somewhat, and I welcome this. I continue to argue in favour of the use of antigen tests in conjunction with vaccinations. The vaccination programme is proceeding very well with those 30 to 39 invited to register next week.

An inclusive community is a better community: Following my representations to SDCC to ensure services provided are accessible to the entire community, walkways and pathways around the main streets of Lucan and Palmerstown are being considered for installation of guidance strips to assist those who are visually impaired navigate the villages. At my urging I continue to advocate for universal design that makes us progressive and not just achieving minimum standards.
Fun for all the family: I am continuing to work to improve our park amenities so check out the new multi-use games areas in Griffeen Park (Lucan Harriers entrance) where you can now play Bools, basketball and handball. In addition, the pitch which had been left unfinished is now underway to completion. A feasibility study is in place reviewing car parking requirements at Griffeen/Hayden Lane areas for Park users.

Willsbrook Playspace: I was honoured to join the Mayor Ed O'Brien for the official opening of the play-space at Willsbrook Park. This is already a popular and well-used amenity for families right across Lucan (as I know from personal experience!) and it was fitting to formally mark its addition to the park this week.
Pedestrian Crossing - Hermitage Park: I have been informed this week that a traffic count will be scheduled this summer to assess whether or not a pedestrian crossing is needed for Hermitage Park on Ballyowen Road. I have been pushing hard for this crossing and hope to see it come to fruition very soon.
Abandoned vehicles: If you are aware of abandoned vehicles in your estate, please let me know and I will report it to the County Council.
