Free Electrical Recycling event: Final reminder that I am hosting a free electrical recycling event on Monday 9th June, alongside Cllr. Caroline Brady. Happening from 9:30am-12pm, at Tesco Lucan Carpark. Bring along any item with a plug or battery for recycling. Thanks to Recycle IT and Tesco Lucan for their support.
Free HRT: I'm delighted that, as of 1st June, HRT is now available free of charge in participating pharmacies. This is a hugely positive step in supporting women's health and I'm especially pleased to see several pharmacies in Lucan have already signed up. Visit the HSE.ie for more info.
Best of luck to everyone doing State exams: Wishing all students sitting their Junior and Leaving Cert exams the very best of luck. Remember, these exams don't define you, they're just one step in the journey.

Traffic Calming at Sarsfield Park: Following the incorrect curve radius installed at St. Joseph's/Lucan Road (set to be corrected during school holidays), I've inquired with SDCC about the intended curve radius at Sarsfield Park/Chapel Hill ahead of works. Awaiting a response and continuing to monitor the situation.
