Fingal Co Co to carry out substantial investment in regional roads

Fingal County Council plans to carry out a multi-million euro investment in regional roads across Fingal, which will include the provision of extensive cycling infrastructure as part of the upgrade works.An extensive examination of the regional road network was carried out across the County, and has prompted a two-phase approach to improving the network for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.Work is set to begin shortly on the first project under this programme on carriageway works and lining for cycle facilities from Blake’s Cross to Minister’s Road on the R132 in Lusk.A further upgrade from Hedgestown to the Applegreen Service Station, which will also improve the cycling network, has also been identified under phase one and will commence later this year. Other projects identified in phase one include investment in carriageway works and lining for cycle facilities on the R135 North Road, as well as the provision of structural upgrade drainage works on the R127 Blake’s Cross to Lusk Road and upgrading the carriageway and off-road cycle tracks on the Ballycoolin Road. In terms of phase two, further improvements of the R132 Swords to Balbriggan road, including upgrades of the Swords by-pass as well as the construction of a new junction at Blake’s Cross have also been identified.Mayor of Fingal Cllr Eoghan O’Brien said: “This is a substantial investment by Fingal County Council in the road network across the county, which will see significant improvements not only for motorists but for cyclists and pedestrians too. I am particularly pleased to see that the improvement works will include extensive upgrades of the cycle network.”

All Ireland Success for Black Raven Pipe Band

Drummers Martin and Seamus Russell Black Raven Pipe Band celebrate their sucesses

The Black Raven Pipe Band from Lusk roared to success at the All Ireland Pipe Band Championships held in Ballymena Co Antrim last weekend. The band have been working for the last five years following a number of retirements from the band. With the introduction of its school of piping and drumming this strategy now beginning to pay of with six of the students competing at the higher level. Following the bands success at the recent East of Ireland Pipe Band Championships where the band took 1st place, they

succeeded in taking first place in drumming and 2nd place overall at the All Ireland Championships.In August the band now travel to Glasgow for the World Pipe Band Championships, under the direction of Pipe Major Paul Russell, not just with hope but a real chance of success at this prestigious event.The Black Raven School of Piping and Drumming continue to teach young members at its band hall in Lusk Pastoral Centre on Chapel Green Lusk on Monday and Wednesday evenings.

Calls to have the dangerous junction at Blakes Cross, Lusk redesigned Councillor Rob O’Donoghue has recently called for redesigning and realignment of the highly dangerous junction at Blakes Cross in Lusk. He said, “Having received numerous notifications regarding the serious dangers experienced by motorists using the junction of Blakes Cross. I have tabled a motion to the Swords Balbriggan Operations Committee of Fingal County Council to expedite upgrade works on the construction of a new junction at Blake’s Cross.For too long, Lusk and Rush residents have endured this death trap, with accidents taking place on an almost weekly basis, it is beyond time that the problem is taken in hand.” Cllr O’Donoghue stated “that with the population growth in Lusk, Rush and Skerries taking place currently and the volume of traffic using the junction as their main route in and out of Dublin City constantly increasing, this is one of the most dangerous junctions in Ireland. Therefore, it is my priority that the junction is redesigned and brought up to a safe standard in the near future.” 6

Why are Women so undervalued?

By Dave Kavanagh

There is a tendency to place values on all kinds of things, from property to cars, from jewellery to smart phones. When it comes to protecting against the loss of these things, it’s then a straightforward calculation. However, when it comes to valuing people and protecting against potential loss, there seems to be a large imbalance in how men and women are valued. In a series of recent interactive group talks, I set a task for the participants (who, as it happened, were about 75% women). I gave them a typical family scenario of a couple, John & Mary, with 2 children aged 2 and 4, with John in full time employment and Mary being a stay at home mum, not in paid employment. There were various other details but the task was to agree how much personal life cover they should both have (outside of their mortgage protection). Out of 9 different groups, all but one decided on Mary needing far less cover than John (on average, about 50% less). I then explained how to calculate the financial loss that would be suffered in the event of either of their deaths. Even though John had the only income, if Mary passed away, John would have to either give up work to care for the two young children or else pay for all of the minding that would be required, as well as possibly other tasks that Mary may have looked after. In short,

in this example (with children that young) the same level of life cover would be appropriate for both of them, as the financial loss that would be suffered in the event of either fatality would be very similar. Once a detailed explanation of how we arrived at these calculations was given, everybody completely agreed that this was the case but it certainly illustrated how in general, there was an under valuing of Mary’s role and therefore an under valuing of the financial loss that would be suffered. This is also evident both in the levels of cover that we see that people have and also in the claim statistics that are published by the life companies each year. The number of life claims for women is far less that those of men (even allowing for the naturally higher proportion of males dying younger) and the amounts of the claims is also much lower for women on average. The same is the case for serious illness claims, far less and far lower for females. With many campaigns and much publicity around the imbalance of wages and opportunities between genders, it is worth considering how we value ourselves and how we also value the potential loss of ourselves. Take a few minutes and look at your own situation to see if you’ve done anything similar.

Planning for Back to School and staggering the cost

We may be slap bang in the middle of the summer but parents know, it’s time to start planning for Back to school! Between uniforms, bags, shoes, coats and all the other expenses, if you start buying now, you can stagger the cost (and stress!) First off uniforms. Despite the governments repeated promises to do away with crested uniforms, they are still a requirement at many schools and are very costly. A jumper can be €30-40, a jacket €60 etc. We found a way to do this cheaper! Buy uniform items like jumpers, cardigans, tracksuits from Dunnes Stores, Tesco, Lidl, M&S and have the crest sewn or embroidered on. Bestwear in Drogheda provides this service, or you could ask the school for the crest and sew it on yourself. Shoes can be expensive, especially for teenagers. Kildare Village is good for bargains brands. Lifestyle Sports has a range of low-cost trainers. We picked up some Nike black trainers for PE for only €35 there. Skechers has a shoe for boys

which doubles as a trainer and shoe and saves parents from buying 2 pairs of shoes. Korky’s have a shoe for girls that is almost identical to the ‘branded’ shoe some schools insist on and its half the price so that’s worth a look. For books, check out offers, like Easons 10% off. They also have a drop off/pick up s service. Drop in your school list, come back after a few hours to have it bagged and ready to go! Schoolbooks.ie is great for Gaelscoil books, they have a dedicated section on their site for these. Ipads are becoming more and more popular for schools now – our own teens both have them – and at €500 a pop, parents need to make sure that they have a schoolbag to protect the ipad. Totto brand in Bag City Ilac SC has a compartment to protect technology. These bags are very sturdy, we bought one for our son last year and it’s in such good condition, we do not need to buy him a bag this year. For smaller kids, Smiggle, in Pavilions, has ‘Bag bundles’ which are good value. They are colourful,

scented and brilliant for kids; making BTS shopping fun!Make sure to label everything your child wears and brings to school. Stuckonyou.eu has a range of labels for books, shoes, uniforms, lumchboxes to make sure if your child does leave something behind, it can be returned to them. Labelling clothes and school items is much cheaper than replacing them. Regatta has good sales and offers on kids wear like raincoats, water bottles and fleeces. Flying Tiger has funky yet practical stationery and is very well priced.The Works is excellent for art supplies – you can save a lot by buying there, it’s very good for college students. If you are struggling with back to school costs, see if you can apply for the BSCFA at welfare.ie – this is helpful to parents. Also, keep an eye out for offers and competitions (there are lots of school related competitions on mams.ie for lunchboxes, schoolbags etc). Enjoy the rest of the holidays!

Councils take a look at the impact of the Arts

A new report developed by Fingal Arts Office, along with three other arts offices, outlines the value and impact of local authority arts programmes and advises on what the sector can achieve and the measures required to support further success. The particular focus of the Fingal element of the study was on what can be achieved in the area of young people and the arts. The report was launched this week by Jackie Maguire, Chair of the County and City Management Association (CCMA) and Chief Executive of Meath County Council at an event attended by Rory O’Byrne Fingal Arts Officer and AnnMarie Farrelly, Interim Chief Executive Fingal County Council. Indecon Consulting compiled the report, developed as part of the Arts Council funded ‘Invitation to Collaboration’ programme by the arts offices of Fingal, Kildare, Leitrim and Limerick local authorities.Since the first Arts Office was established in 1985, local authorities have grown to become the most significant network of

agents for arts development in Ireland today, with a vast knowledge base and depth of experience and expertise. Launching the report, Jackie Maguire thanked The Arts Council

for their continued partnership and support and welcomed the commitment by government as part of Project Ireland 2040 to double spending on arts, culture and heritage over the next seven

years. She commended the four local authorities on the report and noted the invaluable arts development work carried out by each local authority and how that work enriches the lives of all our citizens.

24 hour charity match for local charities Amid the backdrop of this year’s midsummer solstice, a unique event took place with Lusk United A.F.C. hosting a 24hour charity soccer match in aid of Pieta House under the theme of ‘Darkness into Light’.A wide spectrum of participants from the community club and from wider afield took part in the event that ran continuous from 6pm June 21st to 6pm June 22nd and resulted in the fundraising of more than €6,500.00 for Pieta House.Since its humble beginnings in 2006, Pieta House has helped over 36,000 people in suicidal distress or engaging in self-harm and has grown to almost 270 therapists and administration staff across several centres nationwide. The Darkness into Light initiative has grown year-on-year since its initial 5km walk in the Phoenix Park consisting of 400 participants in 2009 to the likes of 2018 which consisted of 200,000 participants in 150 locations across 16 countries in 5 continents. Since these beginnings, Darkness into Light has helped Pieta House to raise nearly €20 million which enables them to keep their doors and 24/7 helpline open to people in crisis, free of charge. Darkness into Light provides an opportunity for people to connect with their local community and to show their support for those who have been bereaved by suicide.One of the many participants of the event was Lusk United’s Chairman Emmet Burke who commented that:“The (club) volunteers and participants involved in the running of this event should be very proud of themselves. ” Mr. Burke highlighted his gratitude further by underlining the level of engagement required in making the event a resounding success, “besides the participation from our club and community volunteers from within Lusk, other groups involved included; Cerebral Palsy Ireland Football Development, St. Malachys F.C., Trinity Corinthians F.C., Balbriggan F.C., Clondalkin Celtic F.C., Skerries Town F.C., and Loughshinny Utd F.C.Other streams of fundraising included; a hugely successful cake sale and our very own Pieta House lollipops, corporate donations and associated raffle, while online donations have come from as far as Boston, Massachusetts.”
