Malahide Historical Society - Schools in Malahide The earliest recorded school in Malahide was in 1704. In 1831 the then P.P. Father Carey of Swords established a school in a derelict mill building at Barrack Bridge, Yellow Walls but it closed in1841. He then started a school behind St. Sylvester’s in Old Street in 1846. The schoolroom measured 37½ feet by 19½ feet, had an earthen floor and a large open fire for heating. The fuel was purchased by each pupil contributing a penny per week. Water was obtained from the nearby St. Sylvester’s Well until a piped water supply became available in 1900. In the early days most of the children walked barefoot to school. There were few desks or seats and the average attendance of 60 boys and 73 girls stood in various parts of the room for their lessons. Obviously, the teacher could not manage all the pupils on his own so the brightest and older pupils were appointed monitors to teach the younger children. James Vickers was appointed teacher in 1855 and he also ran a night school for men. However, he left and went to teach on Lambay Island a few years later. There was a high turnover of teachers at first with at least sixteen in the 44 years up to 1890, seven of whom were dismissed or resigned. The girls moved out about 1888 to the newly built ‘Red’ school and the boys transferred to the new St. Oliver Plunkett’s in 1953 thought the building continued to be used as an overflow classroom for quite a few more years. It has been extensively refurbished in recent years and,strangely, the original plaque over the door has no inscription.Construction of the new St. Oliver Plunkett’s is nearing completion. St. Andrew’s was built in 1824 according to a plaque over the door but more about that school in another issue.

Fingal LCDC funding 123 community and voluntary groups Fingal’s Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) has approved the allocation of almost €500,000 to community and voluntary groups across the region under the Community Enhancement Programme (CEP). Some €326,668 was allocated by the Department of Rural & Community Development to Fingal County Council in September in addition to the sum of €150,521 received in May. Some 123 groups across the region will receive funding under (CEP), which supports disadvantaged communities throughout the country by providing capital grants to community groups. A total of 174 applications were received. The successful applicants were located across the county with Balbriggan and Blanchardstown in particular approved for substantial funding reflecting applications received from groups dealing with disadvantage in these areas. The application process for the CEP is administered by Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) in each Local Authority area. There was an open application process when the CEP was originally launched in May, and the additional funding secured in the second allocation will be used to fund applications that were made under the original call, but which were not funded or not fully funded. The CEP provides a flexible and targeted approach to funding those communities most

Emer O’Gorman, Fingal County Council’s Director of Economic, Enterprise and Tourism Development said: “We are delighted with this additional funding which will allow investment in communities across Fingal. We look forward to working with the many community and voluntary groups to bring their projects to fruition.” Fingal LCDC Chairperson Pat O’Connor said: “I welcome the approval by the LCDC of this funding which will greatly assist community groups in delivering their projects. The level of funding made available recognises the important role played by community and voluntary groups in addressing disadvantage in our communities.”

Minister for Rural and Community Development, Michael Ring said: “The Community Enhancement Programme supports a range of investment in all areas of communities, such as childcare groups, playgrounds, recreational groups, sports grounds, landscaping, and the elderly. “The additional funding has been allocated in a way that takes deprivation levels into account and I am confident that those communities who need it most, whether in cities, towns or rural areas, will benefit.” €16,000 was also provided by the Department of Rural and Community Development to support the work of Men’s Sheds through the Community Enhancement Programme this year, which benefitted nine local groups in Fingal.

Fingal and South Dublin County Councils Launch Bike Safety Campaign

The Mayors of South Dublin County Council and Fingal County Council Cllr Mark Ward and Cllr. Anthony Lavin, along with Garda representatives, council officials, road safety officers and members of Motor Cycling Ireland.

Fingal County Council and South Dublin County Council have launched a joint public awareness campaign, highlighting the dangers quad bikes and scramblers pose to children, and to urge parents not to gift them this Christmas.

The campaign supports the recent initiative by the Road Safety Authority, which includes an advert featuring motocross rider Stuart Edmonds.The advert outlines the correct environment, and care to be taken when riding these

vehicles, and will be shown in cinemas throughout Fingal and South Dublin. In the last number of years there has been a noticeable increase in the number of quads and scrambler bikes being used in an inappropriate manner in urban

towns and cities. Unless the bike has been registered, taxed, insured and brought up to the correct standard it is illegal for it to be used on the public road. It is illegal to use these bikes in public parks and open spaces. President of Motorcycling Ireland Sean Bissett said: â€œThere are affiliated clubs all over Ireland who can provide guidance and advice for beginners. The resources are there for people to enter this sport in a safe and responsible way and we encourage all riders to contact their club and learn how to partake in this sport correctly.â€?Three of the four people who died in Ireland as a result of an incident involving a quad bike or scrambler were aged 18 or under, in the period 2014 to 2017, according to provisional statistics published by The Road Safety Authority (RSA).The casualty figures also show that between 2014 and 2017, there were 39 people killed or injured in collisions involving a quadbike or scrambler on a public road. 16 or 41% were 18 years of age or under.

Public Consultation for Integration and Social Cohesion Strategy

The Mayor, Councillors, Gardai and other interested parties at the Launch

Fingal is one of the most diverse counties in Ireland and to ensure the needs of all citizens are met Fingal County Council has begun the process of developing their Integration and Social Cohesion Strategy. A Community Integration Advisory Council comprising members of the public has been established with support from the Public Participation Network (PPN) and the Fingal Ethnic Network. While this group represents the voice of residents in Fingal, the experience of the public engaging with Fingal County Council services is necessary to inform the strategy. The public are invited to have their say by completing the survey on: https://consult.fingal.ie/surveys. Welcoming the launch of the survey, Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Anthony

Lavin said: “Fingal’s communities are rich in diversity and it is vital that we implement an Integration and Social Cohesion Strategy that reflects and supports this diversity in order to further develop inclusivity and equality across the County.”Chief Executive of Fingal County Council, Paul Reid said: “Fingal County Council’s Community, Culture & Sports Division is actively engaged with representatives from diverse groups of Fingal’s population. The Consultation for our Integration and Social Cohesion Strategy allow members from migrant communities to engage with the Council and contribute to a strategy that benefits their wellbeing and quality of life in Fingal.” It is anticipated that the consultation process will conclude in early January 2019.

How To Improve Your Chances of Mortgage Approval By Dave Kavanagh When you make the decision to purchase your own home, it’s usually done by getting a mortgage from a lender. Strictly speaking, the word “mortgage” refers to the legal agreement to hold title as security for a home loan, but these days, most people use it to refer to the home loan itself. The right preparation can make a huge difference in whether or not an application is successful. Lenders have an obligation to make sure they have assessed the affordability of the loan, and how you prepare can be crucial. There are a number of factors to the criteria used to assess your borrowing potential. These include the Central Bank guidelines of only lending (in the majority of cases) 3.5 x gross annual salaries, and not exceeding 90% of the purchase price (for first time buyers). Also, the lenders have their own formulas based on your NDI (net disposable income) to make sure that you can still afford to live comfortably on what remains after you have paid your monthly instalment. Probably the most important factor after taking these into account, is how you display a “proven ability to repay”. By this, I mean that when a lender considers your application, which will normally include things like payslips, P-60s, salary certificates and bank statements, how evident is it that you can afford the monthly repayment? For example, supposing

the monthly cost of the loan you are applying for is €1,400 per month. A lender will “stress test” this figure (to allow for a possible increase in interest rate during the term of the loan) and look to see affordability of perhaps, €1,550. So if you are evidently paying €1,750 rent every month, this shows affordability. Or you could be paying €1,000 in rent and also showing that you save €800 per month. If this is not evident over a regular period of time, it can, combined with other factors, lead to an application being declined. Another important aspect, is how you conduct your bank statements. If your statements show that you reach a nil balance every month before pay day, or worse, go into overdraft, this will not instil confidence in your ability to repay. Just as important is clear evidence of savings for your deposit. Even when these things are in order, something that can hugely affect the amount you qualify for, is any short term lending, whether it’s credit card bills, car or personal loans. Best to have none at the time of application, and also important to make sure any short term lending is paid timely as a credit report showing your history of paying such things will also be viewed. Buying a home is usually the single, biggest financial transaction your will make in your lifetime. Make sure you plan in advance to get it right.

Gorgeous Granola Granola can be full of fibre from oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit in addition to lots of vitamins and minerals. However it can also be full of sugar and a lot of granola in Irish supermarkets are quite high in sugar. This homemade recipe for granola below is simple to make. Wholesome and satisfying to have. And it is scrumptious with fresh fruit and natural yogurt or milk for breakfast, supper or as a snack!

Ingredients • 350g oats • 100g chopped pecan nuts • 150g other chopped nuts (such as hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews or flaked almonds) • 150g mixed seeds (such as pumpkin, chia, sunflower, flaxseed/linseed) • 130ml maple syrup/honey • 2 teaspoons cinnamon • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract/essence • 40ml melted coconut oil or rapeseed oil 14

MALAHIDE LOCAL-JANUARY 2019

• 150g dried fruit of your desire (such as raisins, sultanas, cranberries, chopped dates, chopped apricots)

Method 1.Preheat the oven to 160’c. 2.Place a baking sheet or a piece of parchment paper onto a baking tray. (This is to prevent the granola mixture from sticking to the baking tray). 3.Add the melted coconut oil/rapeseed oil, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. 4.Add the remaining ingredients (EXCEPT the dried fruit) into the mixing bowl and coat the dry ingredients with the moist ingredients. Use your hands to really bind the mixture well together into small clumps/clusters. 5.Spread this mixture as an even layer on the lined baking tray. Use a second lined baking tray if needed. 6.Bake in the oven at 150’c for 35-40

minutes until the granola is golden. Keep an eye on the granola and turn the tray half-way through baking to ensure all the granola is baked evenly. Avoid stirring the granola as this will reduce the granola clumps/clusters. 7.Make sure the granola is completely cool (this will ensure you get nice crunchy clusters!). Then add the dried fruit and store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 1 month.
