New Lucan Area Councillor: Massive congratulations to Helen Farrell who was co-opted as my Council replacement on SDCC last Thursday. I was delighted to nominate Helen given her key involvement in the Campaign for a Lucan Swimming Pool and the Society for Old Lucan, as well as her many professional capabilities. Cllr Farrell brings a fresh, community-minded approach to politics and I look forward to working with her as part of a team.
Dail resumption: The Dail resumed briefly on Wednesday to elect a Ceann Comhairle. So far there have been few real efforts to form anything other than a continuity FF/FG arrangement with the 'rural independents', who will add nothing to what is a stable, but stale configuration. I've had no approach from any grouping regarding forming a more dynamic programme for Government thus far.

Bus Shelter Repairs: I am pleased to share that my motion regarding safety concerns at the bus stop shelter on Esker Road (Stop No. 3368) was passed. It calls on the National Transport Authority (NTA) to take immediate steps to address issues raised by locals, including: Exploring temporary lighting solutions to ensure adequate visibility at the bus stop. Expediting plans to replace the existing shelter with one that meets modern accessibility and safety standards. Improving visibility by managing overgrown vegetation around the area. A formal letter will be sent to the NTA. I will keep residents updated on progress.
I want to extend my congratulations to Helen Farrell on her nomination onto South Dublin County Council as a co-op member. As an independent local councillor, I am delighted to warmly welcome Helen in her new role.
