Bus capacity reviews: Since being elected, I have been lobbying for customer demand reviews on all routes in Lucan to make sure that they are sufficiently serviced. I am pleased to get confirmation that these reviews will take place and I eagerly await the results of them, especially for high-demand services on the C1, C2, C3 and C4.
Garda numbers: I was pleased to learn of the assignment of new Gardai to Lucan and Ronanstown Garda stations. 45 new Gardai are being assigned to Dublin, of whom 2 will be assigned to Lucan and Ronanstown Garda stations.
Lucan Festival: Great to be able to attend the launch of the Lucan Festival last Friday and to see the wonderful programme that is on offer. As a community, we are indebted to the (small) group of volunteers who take the Festival from strength to strength.

Lucan Festival 2025: I was delighted to attend the launch of this year's Lucan Festival in Kennys Pub last Friday. Well done to the Lucan Festival Committee on another successful event. The Lucan Festival runs from the 2nd to 7th of September, with a packed programme of events for all ages. Please note, this year, the fireworks display will be on Saturday 6th in the grounds of Lucan House. Wristbands 5 euro at the main gate, children under 12 free. Be sure to check out @lucfestevent on Instagram or Lucan Festival Ireland Facebook page for the full schedule.
Back to School: Best of luck also to all the students and teachers beginning the new academic year. It's great to see free schoolbooks now rolled out across all primary and secondary schools, alongside the continued expansion of the Hot School Meals programme.

Lucan Leisure Campus Update: The main contractor was removed from the project last week. A security firm is managing the site, an interim contractor is progressing works and direct agreements with other contractors remain in place. A replacement contractor will be appointed through formal procurement. Further updates will follow once timelines are confirmed.
Hillcrest Drive Flooding: Uisce Eireann has confirmed that Wastewater Operations will carry out sewer maintenance works in the area. These works are expected to significantly improve the public sewer system. Water Operations has advised that completion is expected by the end of August.
Gully Clean: Following flooding in Hillcrest, Finnstown, and Lucan Village, contractors Oxigen carried out a gully clean across affected areas. In Lucan Village, cleaning was completed on both sides of the Liffey Bridge at the junction of Main Street and Chapel Hill.
