Lucan to get three schools paul hosford
THE Department of Education has announced that three schools will be built in Lucan next year, although one – St Andrew’s NS – could be delayed, on foot of submissions made to An Bord Pleanala. While there are no delays envisaged for Esker ETNS and Clonburris Post Primary, An Bord Pleanala is set to rule on submissions in relation to
the new site for St Andrew’s NS, at St Edmundsbury, in January. Reverend Scott Peoples, the chairman of the board of management at St Andrew’s, said that the board had examined ways of alleviating traffic concerns. He added: “The submissions ... look at the use of the Lucan Road at rush hour in the morning, but some of the things that the board is proposing will help that.” Full Story on Page 4
He’s Lucan good: Santa drinks in the fun atmosphere at pub A CERTAIN Mr S Claus carefully parked his reindeer somewhere out of sight and made his annual visit to The Lord Lucan Pub recently, where he met Alex Delaney and lots of other local boys and girls. Once again advocating his clear
message to never, ever drink and fly, Santa impressed locals with his avuncular nature, and left the children happy that their Christmas wishes had been heard. It was another fun community event for patrons at the popular pub.
