Larkfield Footpaths: representations made on behalf of residents in Larkfield Rise for footpath repairs. The council confirmed the issue is referred to the Area Engineer for inspection and assessment. Any necessary repairs identified in the report will be scheduled as part of the council's programme of works.
Lucan Village Footpaths: This week, I raised a motion at the Lucan Area Meeting to review and upgrade footpaths in the village. The council responded that addressing the issues would require significant works and funding, potentially through a Part VIII process. While a pavement repair is possible, they are reluctant to proceed as it would be costly and not a comprehensive solution. I will continue to work on this issue and keep you updated.

Grand Canal Greenway - Update: Contractors to construct the Grand Canal Greenway from 12th Lock to Hazelhatch were appointed in late December and have commenced works on site. It is expected the works will be complete by the end of the year.
Ballyowen - Car Park Parks Works: The commencement of long-awaited works to upgrade the very bad private roadway entrance into the Eurospar and Pennyhill complex are very welcome.
MEP Constituency Visit: Delight that my Sinn Fein colleague and Dublin MEP Lynn Boylan will be here in Lucan and visiting the Adamstown Community Centre next Monday. If you are interested in popping along to say hello or require any further details, please feel free to contact me.

Ballyowen Shopping Centre: I was very pleased to see overdue work take place to repair the main road and car park at Ballyowen Castle Shopping Centre today. It is something I pushed as a councillor and I am pleased to see the management company respond to these concerns. Thanks to all who raised it with me.
Go-Ahead: I am due to meet with Go-Ahead Ireland in the coming weeks. This follows my initial engagement with them at the start of the month where I set out the difficulties residents have encountered with their service. Please let me know if you have encountered such difficulties in recent weeks.
Clinics and contact details: I will be commencing weekly clinics in Lucan from March. In the meantime, please contact my office (01-6184128) if you would like help or assistance with any matter.

Dail report: My contributions this week included speeches on gender-based violence, the third anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, supports for people with disabilities, and driving test waiting times. Hopefully these will all be up on my website shortly.
Works at Ballyowen Castle Shopping: Centre: After a huge amount of effort chasing this up over the last year, it's great to see the road surface at the entrance to the shopping centre finally being upgraded, with lining on the way also. This is a private road, so thanks to property management company Robzala for liaising with me on this.
Illegal Parking near Airlie Park all-weather: pitches: Clubs, please inform members and parents that the parking spaces in Shackleton Terrace apartments are assigned to individual residents. Please do not park here.

Recent Issues Raised: In the past week, I have lodged concerns from residents regarding street lighting, drainage affecting pedestrians and roads, road safety, roadworks, and road markings. Positive responses have been received from SDCC.
Beacon-Free Pedestrian Crossings: Residents have expressed concerns about the visibility of pedestrians at beacon-free pedestrian crossings (Dept of Transport TSAN-2024-01 - Zebra Crossings) particularly Esker Manor and Castle Road. Ensuring pedestrian safety is a top priority, and I am actively working on this issue.
Heritage Trail for Lucan: I enquired about a Heritage Trail for Lucan; SDCC are planning this for later in 2025 and have funding allocated for the project.
Lucan House & Demesne Consultation: Reminder! The opening of Lucan House & Demesne will significantly (and positively) impact Lucan. Share your views here: https://buff.ly/3CQjxQ4.

Community Updates
Defibrillator Expansion: My motion was passed at the area committee meeting, calling on the council to explore introducing outdoor public defibrillators beyond council buildings. I also passed a motion requesting the Gardaí to explain why these life-saving devices are not installed in all stations, especially 24-hour ones.
New Footpath: I’m pleased to confirm that, following my efforts, a new link path from Woodview Heights to Tandy’s Lane is included in the 2025 Improvement Works Programme. The works will be carried out in consultation with the transport section to ensure a safe and well-designed connection.
Lucan Christmas Tree Event: Following my motion, the council will engage with the Lucan Festival Committee on plans for the Christmas Tree event. The Village Green works, including festive lighting power points, are progressing, with completion expected by September 2025.
