The History of Boat building in Malahide (contributed by Malahide Historical Society)

Malahide has a long tradition of boat building. Jack Wellington was the adopted name of a Norwegian or Swede Johann Valenhausen. He is said to have been born about 1850 and to have joined a merchant ship about age fourteen. Years later he was shipwrecked off Malahide. He settled here, married a local girl and lived on The Green around the turn of the 20th century. He was honoured by the Royal Humane Society for rescuing three sailors off Howth in June 1894. Jack built, repaired and sailed boats and yachts with great skill up until his death in 1927. One of his creations was the Marguerite which he launched in 1896. She has had many owners has been sympathetically restored and conserved several times and is now sailed out of Dun Laoghaire. Christy Farrell, son-in-law of Jack Wellington, continued the boat repair and maintenance business for a number of years.In 1946 a boat building shed was constructed in Gas Yard lane and in the course of the next ten years many fine yachts were built there. During the next 25 years boat building expanded, another enormous shed was constructed and trawlers up to 77â€™ were built together with conversions of trawler hulls into luxury yachts. Malahide Boatyard or Southern Marine closed in the early 1980s The famous

MALAHIDE LOCAL-DECEMBER 2019

Malahide boat building shed dominated the view down New St.

Asgard was in storage in the boatyard around 1990. Several Malahide boatbuilders continued to mould glassfibre yachts and small boats for a period. Boat building and repairing gradually

declined during the 1990s.

Sadly, an industry and tradition that at one

time employed almost 100 people has now disappeared.

Make Your Minutes Count with ALONE this Christmas

Marian Keys with Betty Kinsella

Author Marian Keys making every minute count.

In Dublin on 15th November 2019 ALONE, the organisation that supports older people to age at home, launched their Christmas campaign, which encourages members of the public to make their minutes count by working together to tackle loneliness and isolation. Author Marian Keyes launched the organisation’s Christmas campaign, to encourage members of the public to take a few minutes out of their day to interact with their older neighbours and relatives who may be experiencing feelings of loneliness as the festive season approaches. “Older people have the most amazing stories to tell”, she said. ALONE is also asking for support from new volunteers and donors to help to support them to combat loneliness and other challenges faced by older people. One in ten people over 75 are lonely a lot 6

of the time and demand for ALONE’s services has increased five-fold in recent years. One in 4 older people live alone, and this increases in rural areas. Marian commented, “I’m delighted to be helping ALONE launch their Christmas campaign this year, to spread awareness of such an important issue. I admire the work that they do with older people and I’m so happy to be a part of such a positive message. Loneliness and isolation can be serious problems for older people and dropping in for a chat or helping a neighbour with their shopping could make all the difference to their mental health. We’ve all felt alone at certain times in our lives, sometimes all it takes is a cup of tea and a bit of a laugh to really lift an older person’s spirits. A few minutes

may not mean much to you, but to a lonely older person it could be the highlight of their day.” She continued, “As we age, it can be more difficult to reach out to people for companionship; a lot of older people might be embarrassed or too proud to admit that they are lonely. What might only seem like a quick chat to you can make an older person feel loved, appreciated, and that they are part of the community. Christmas provides people with the perfect opportunity to drop in on older neighbours and relatives for a few mince pies and a chat.” Contact ALONE 0818 222 024 if you have concerns about your own wellbeing, or the wellbeing of a vulnerable older person in the community.

Your Finances - Do these excuses sound familiar? By Dave Kavanagh “Let’s go for a drink?”, “How about a nice meal out?”, “Shall we book a nice holiday?”, “How about an afternoon shopping?”, all questions that are (usually!) met with a positive response. “Shall we have a look through our finances and plans that we have in place?”, not usually met with the same enthusiasm or joy! For many reasons, people put off or avoid having to go through an exercise such as this, despite the fact that it can lead to them spending less and having more money left over each month! So, what excuses do they present to avoid this not-so-desirable activity and what are they really saying? Let’s have a look: 1 “I’ll have a look at that after Christmas”. This is sometimes replaced with “after Easter”, “after the holidays”, “after the kids go back to school” and a host of others. This is a bit like the “I’ll start the diet next Monday”. What you are actually saying is “I’ll name some time in the future, so I don’t have to face up to it or think about it now”. Let’s face it, you can make time to spend 30-60 minutes even once per year to look at something this important. Every year will have Christmas, summer time, back to school time, etc. Once you do, you’ll be glad that you did! 2 “We have everything in order already”. Great. That is, if you’ve done this in the last few

months but many people we’ve heard this from, on closer examination, haven’t looked at this area in years and are not really sure what they have. Circumstances change and it’s important that whatever you have in place is the most relevant for your own personal situation. 3“Our bank has sorted all that out for us”. Your bank may have sorted a few things for you but in most cases, banks are tied to one company’s products which means a fair comparison cannot be done and you may be paying way over the odds for whatever the bank put in place for you. Dealing with an advisor who is not tied to one company and can compare other options is the only way to make sure you are getting the best value for money. 4 “I’m busy at the moment, I’ll give you a shout in a few months”. Let’s face it, going through your finances is rarely on anyone’s favourite activity list. But the fact remains, if there is an activity you like, you can make time for it. Burying your head in the sand is rarely a successful solution to most problems! 5 “I’ve no spare money at present”.This usually comes from thinking that a review is going to either cost them money or they will have to take out something new that will cost them more money. The reality is, a review will usually highlight someone paying too much for something so the end result is, they save money.

Christmas programme to bring festive cheer in Fingal Fingal County Council’s programme of Christmas events is set to bring some festive cheer to residents, both young and old.This year sees the introduction of a Christmas market at Bremore Castle in addition to the return of the Swords Castle Christmas Market. There will also be the annual switching on of the Christmas lights in Blanchardstown, Swords and Balbriggan. Bremore Castle Christmas Market will take place on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8 from 11am to 6pm. As well as the wide variety of stalls, there will be lots of family fun including Santa Claus, children’s entertainment and a full programme of carol singing and live music. Free parking will be available for attendees to both Christmas markets. In Swords, parking will be available at Fingal County Council carpark on Seatown Road and in Balbriggan at Bremore Castle carpark. The switching on of the Christmas lights will take place in Balbriggan on Friday, December 6 at 7pm. Free parking will also be available at the Court House car park in Swords in the three weekends prior to Christmas, starting on Saturday, December 7. They will be open to the public from 9am to 6pm.There will also be free pay-and-display parking in Swords, Balbriggan, Skerries and Rush this year on December 7, 14 and 21. Mayor of Fingal Cllr Eoghan O’Brien said: “Following the success of Swords Castle Christmas Market, I am delighted to see the introduction of Bremore Castle Christmas Market which will no doubt be a popular attraction. Christmas Markets are an enjoyable event for all of the family, and it is great to see that there will be two in Fingal this year. I look forward to the switching on of the Christmas lights to kick off the festivities.”Following the recent success of Fingal County Council’s Halloween event, Festival of Fire, it is highly anticipated that the Christmas festivities will also be a hit.The Christmas events are suited to all ages and are family friendly. Make sure to come along and join in the festive fun! 10

Marathon Kids Final Mile in Morton Stadium

David Gillick, former Olympian and 400m European Champion, AnnMarie Farrelly C E Fingal County Council, Cllr Eoghan O’Brien, Mayor of Fingal and Jim Aughney, Dublin Marathon

87 schools and over 5,500 5th & 6th class students completed 25.2 miles over 8 weeks, training 4 times a week in school before completing the last mile at a specially organised 1-mile event on November 13th.Fingal County Council’s Chief Executive AnnMarie Farrelly and Mayor of Fingal Cllr Eoghan O’Brien were in attendance at the final mile.The MarathonKids Ireland Programme sees students train four times a week to run 25.2 miles over an eight week period. Over 5,500 primary school students attending Fingal, South Dublin & Dublin City primary schools completed the final mile of their marathon recently in Morton Stadium, Santry. Fingal County Council Chief Executive

Children Running the Marathonkids Programme

AnnMarie Farrelly said; “It is wonderful to see the rise in the numbers of students taking part in MartathonKids over the past four years, going from 800 students in 2015 to 5,500 this year. This really shows how worthwhile the programme is. I look forward to seeing its continued success for years to come.”Inspired by a similar programme in the US, Fingal County Council Sports Officer Niall McGuirk and MarathonKids Ireland Director Neil Kennedy created a programme that combines four running sessions per week with a class workbook that links into the SPHE subject in the school curriculum. The workbook highlights the benefits of sport and contribution to a child’s overall physical and mental well-being.

Former Olympian and 400m European Champion and MarathonKids Ireland Ambassador David Gillick visited schools in the council areas to talk about the programme and the importance of students being aware of the benefits of physical activity.David praised the inclusive nature of the programme as being beneficial to children who don’t have an interest in sports but want to be active: “As someone who was involved in all sports in school, I also appreciate that there were other kids who didn’t do as much activity. MarathonKids is open to everyone regardless of their ability and a fantastic opportunity for kids to get active.”
