Gender Based Violence: In recent weeks there has been much commentary on the scourge of gender based violence. All forms of physical and mental violence against women has to be called out and challenged. There has been a number of debates in recent weeks in the Oireachtas on the all most normality of the subjection of vile abuse against women. This can be only challenged not just with lengthy prison sentences but changing the toxic culture that is manufactured against women in society.
Health Committee: This week the health committee examined the issue of childhood obesity. The committee was told by Safefood Ireland that 1 in 5 school children is overweight or living with obesity. Is less affluent areas this goes to 1 in 4 four school children. These figures are staggering and are a warning in terms of future health outcomes.

Delays due to bereavement: Apologies, but due to the recent illness and death of a close relative, I have been unable to respond to queries. I hope to clear this backlog shortly.
Swimming Pool sub-contractor delays: This Friday, Councillors were due to get a further tour of the pool complex. It should have been completed by now, but there appears to be a delay with certain works, which need to be finished before other subcontractors can come in.
Bus detour for road closure near Ash Park/Esker Manor/Swimming Pool: To facilitate a sewer connection on behalf of Irish Water, the road opposite Lucan Pool site and Colaiste Cois Life will closed from this Monday 15th July until Friday. Search 'Road' on my website for more details. The C1 bus will also be diverted via Esker Lane/Elmbrook Avenue.

Ebikes charging station at Liffey Valley Park: I have learned from ESB Networks, having contacted them, that the e-bike charging stations outside Liffey Valley Park will be removed over the coming weeks as well as the paint and racks. The bikes have not been there for some time due to anti-social behaviour and I have asked ESB Networks to consult with local representatives before any new installation to identify a new location.
Road diversion: Lucan Newlands Road (between Griffeen Way Roundabout and Old Esker Lane) will have a diversion in place between 15 and 19 July for installation of a sewer connection. Dublin Bus have advised there will be a change in the C1 route for this period. Buses will proceed onto Esker Lane, Elmbrook Avenue and Willsbrook Road, back onto Griffeen Road (and vice versa). The bus stops at Lucan Leisure Centre will not be in use during this time.
