Fears have been expressed for the safety of local residents and school children after a car struck a house on Barry Lane in Ongar. Barry Lane is located opposite two primary schools, St Benedict’s National School and Castaheany Educate Together. Traffic becomes congested in the area during the
opening and closing times of the schools. Resident Frank McGrath said that the crash caused structural damage to his house. “Although it was an accident and our property was damaged, fortunately there was nobody injured. But the potential of somebody being injured is great,” he said. Full Story on Page 2
Well done: Jasmine’s joy at receiving prestigious award pictured receiving the Community and Social Responsibility Award for her work fundraising to promote water safety is Jasmine Flynn. Jasmine lost her sister Kayleigh Flynn in a tragic drowning accident. In memory of her sister, she ran a charity event in her school hall that raised €1,700 which will be used by IWS to
run drowning prevention programmes that help keep children safe. Jasmine received her award at the Irish Water Safety National Awards Ceremony from John Perry TD, Minister of State at the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and the Chairperson of Irish Water Safety, Breda Collins.
