Calls for more non-religious schools in area

STAFF REPORTER A CALL has been made for more non-religious schools to be built in the Dundrum-Ballinteer area.

This comes as the 2016 census recorded that 30% of people in the Dundrum Local Electoral Area, which includes Ballinteer, are non-Catholic.

Ballinteer resident Brian Leeson, who was the Together For Yes agent for the Rathdown constituency, and is national chairperson of Eirigi, made the call.

He said : “It’s safe to assume that the percentage of non-Catholics is even higher among younger people who have children of school-going age.

The current mix of schools does not reflect that reality.”

understand complexity of delivering housing’ THE housing shortfall cannot be resolved by throwing money at the issue, as some of the opposition parties would try to have the public believe, local Fine Gael TD Maria Bailey has said.

Responding to accusations from Sinn Fein that Rebuilding Ireland is not working, Deputy Bailey said: “It is deeply regrettable that Sinn Fein is yet again offering only headlines, where real and substantial solutions are needed.

“Does Sinn Fein understand that housing must be looked in totality? It is not simply a matter of funding.

Fine Gael TD Maria Bailey

“When we look at the overall supply of housing, there are really encouraging signs that home building is recovering.

“All supply indicators are showing positive trends two years into the fiveyear Rebuilding Ireland

plan.

“At the end of Q4 2017, the plan included 846 schemes which will deliver over 13,400 homes.”

This breaks down to 6 , 6 7 0 t h ro u g h l o ca l authorities, 687 turnkey and 5,983 to be delivered under social housing, the capital investment programme, rapid and regeneration.

Planning Permissions were 20,800 in 2017 – an increase of 27% on 2016.

Commencement notices – 18,100 new homes notified in the 12 months to March 2018.

“CSO Quarterly National Accounts show residential investment up 33% in

2017.

“In 2016, we were still feeling the effects of a collapsed residential construction industry; Rebuilding Ireland has allowed us to put solid foundations in place to rebuild.

“What Sinn Fein fails to recognise is the complexities around delivering housing - such as infrastructure or services, complex title and skill deficits.

“It is not just as simple as increasing funding, it is about finding solutions, which this Government is doing, to these pinch points rather than making political promises from the opposition,” she said.

Colonoscopies to be reviewed at St Columcille’s Dozens of colonoscopy procedures are to be reviewed at St Columcille’s Hospital, Loughlinstown, as reported on 98FM. The hospital say procedures performed between November 2017 and April 2018 were reviewed, as part of a quality assurance process.

As a result, it was recommended that 65 patients be scheduled for a repeat procedure, which hospital group says it’s “a precautionary measure” - and that the risk to patients is low and the patients identified have been contacted by the hospital.

The process is expected to be completed within four weeks.

Dr Garret Cullen from the Ireland East Hospital Group said: “We acknowledge that patients may be anxious about being called for an appointment, but I want to reassure them that this is purely a precautionary measure.”

€1,000 donation to Ballinteer Men’s Shed AS part of Lidl Community Works programme, every week for a year they donate €1,000/£1,000 to a different local charity/community group across Ireland and Northern Ireland, chosen by themselves.

This week, Ballinteer Men’s Shed were recipients of this funding. Speaking from the presentation at the Dundrum store on Saturday last, ‘Shed support volunteer’ Sean Mc Loughlin said: “On behalf of Ballinteer Men’s Shed, we would like to say a massive thank you to Lidl Dundrum for their support and generous contribution to our organisation.

“It is with support like this that we can continue to provide all men with a safe, friendly and inclusive environment with the aim of advancing their health and well-being.

“This contribution from Lidl will help our local community members by giving us resources to keep them healthy and engaged.”

“We are delighted to be awarded with such a generous donation as it gives us a massive boost, to be recognised as a community group worthy of such an amount. With men’s sheds on the rise across the country, the role each shed has to play in maintaining the wellbeing of men in the community is second to none, our appreciation cannot be expressed enough to Lidl for their support.”

Customers urged to nominate local causes for funding TESCO customers are being encouraged to make use of the blue tokens at Tesco stores to help make a real difference to a local community cause.

The retail giant is supporting 453 local projects in the latest cycle of the Tesco Community Fund, which is now under way.

Dublin alone has seen Tesco support 3,700 local projects, to date, donating more than €940,000 to the likes of the Irish Society For Autism, and many more, as part of more than €3 million donated to more than 11,000 local causes since 2014.

Christine Heffernan, corporate affairs director Tesco Ireland, said: “At Tesco we are delighted to be able to support such amazing local initiatives through our Community Fund.

“If you think you know a local organisation that could benefit from some extra funding, please nominate them in-store today, and don’t forget to vote for your preferred cause each time you shop using your blue token, because it really does make a difference.”

Tesco customers can simply fill out a nomination form in store and every eight weeks, three local causes will be selected for the Tesco Community Fund. For further information and criteria for entry, see www.tesco.ie/communityfund.

SANDYCOVE: SOUTH AFRICAN AMBASSADOR JOINS BEACH CLEAN-UP DAY

Nelson Mandela centenary clean-up day in Sandycove

The Ambassador with members of An Taisce and the Sandycove Clean Coasts Group

HIS Excellency Prince Ahlangene Cyprian Sigcau, the South African ambassador to Ireland and the staff from the embassy, joined members of An Taisce and the Sandycove Clean Coasts Group in Sandycove, to mark the centenary of the birth of Nelson Mandela.

As Sandycove is the location of the residence of the South African ambassador, he suggested that a clean-up of the beach at Sandycove would be a fitting way to celebrate what would have been the 100th of Nelson Mandela.

Margaret Brown, Chairperson of San-

dycove Clean Coasts group told Dublin Gazette about how the beach clean-up came about, with employees of the South African embassy coming out to Sandycove by bus.

Margaret has a great love of South Africa, where she worked for many years. The ambassador told Margaret that he was leaving his post after his five-year tenure was up last month. He said: “Before I go, I would like to plant a tree to commemorate the centenary of Nelson Mandela’s birth.

“After the planting of the tree, we were all invited back to the ambassador’s residence for a reception. The staff and their families all returned to South Africa the following day, but the ambassador stayed to greet his replacement.

“The ambassador said that he would like to come to Sandycove on the actual centenary and partake in a beach cleanup, along with embassy staff, as well as members of An Taisce and members of Sandycove Clean Coast group.

“There was plenty of work to do, partic-

ularly with the wonderful weather we’ve enjoyed. The beach was packed and we collected seven bags of waste, which was removed the following day by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, to whom we are very grateful.

“I presented the ambassador with a framed photograph of the tree that was planted in memory of Nelson Mandela – now known as the Nelson Mandela tree.”

RECENT REPORTS: CONFUSION OVER PLAN FOR ‘MODULAR’ GARDA STATION IN STEPASIDE

Lack of communication over Stepaside slammed THE ongoing row over the future of Stepaside Garda station shows no sign of abating, with Dublin Rathdown TD and Green Party Deputy Leader, Catherine Martin expressing concern at the recent reports that Government departments apparently didn’t inform each other before the announcement on the plan for a ‘modular’ Garda station for Stepaside was made.

According to Deputy Martin, this incoherent approach, full of inconsistencies, is a cause of ongoing concern for the local community.

She told Dublin Gazette: “If Government departments can’t properly keep each other in the loop,

then it is no wonder the local community in Stepaside feels frustrated at being given contradictory information in relation to the reopening of Stepaside Garda Station.

“Government should work out a clear plan and timeline to implement and honour the commitment made to open Stepaside Garda Station.

“The local community is only demanding that the promise that was made to them to reopen their local station be upheld, no more or no less.

“I will continue to call for clarity from Government on this issue, as the local community’s patience is long past worn thin.”

Meanwhile, a spokes-

person for Minister Shane Ross, a long-time advocate for the reopening of Stepaside Garda station said: “Deputy Martin seems to have misunderstood the progress that has been made so far.

“The struggle of the local community to reopen our station, which began in 2013, has been longer than many of us would have liked.

“However, as a result of their efforts, a breakthrough is imminent. We have good grounds for optimism that we will soon see a purpose-built station in Stepaside village and our gardai will again be based in the heart of the community next year, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Dundrum debut for beauty brand HAMMERSON, on behalf of The Dundrum Partnership has announced that Rituals Cosmetics, the luxury bath, body and home brand, will open its first premium boutique in Dublin.

Rituals offer an extensive collection of luxurious yet affordable products for home and body, inspired by ancient customs, rituals and traditions within the Asian culture.

Renowned for their signature fragrances and scented candles, the brand will be a great addition to Dundrum’s wellness and beauty offering which includes L’Occitane en Provence, Kiehl’ and Molton Brown as

well beauty offers at Harvey Nichols and House of Fraser.

In addition to the brand’s retail offer, the new Dundrum store will also include a ‘lifestyle’ area, offering a mini meditation service, complimentary hand and arm massages and pure tea.

Simon Betty, Hammerson director of Retail Ireland, said: “Rituals is a fantastic premium beauty brand and a perfect addition to Dundrum’s existing beauty and wellness offer. This opening reinforces the centre’s position as Dublin’s leading retail and leisure destinations for luxury brands”.

Death of former Government Minister FORMER Dun Laoghaire TD, Government Minister and Senator, Martin O’Donoghue has died at the age of 85.

Mr O’Donoghue was first elected to Dail Éireann as a TD in the 1977 general election for the Dun Laoghaire constituency.

The then Taoiseach Jack Lynch appointed him a minister on his first day in the Dail.

Mr O’Donoghue served in Cabinet twice; Minister of Economic Planning and Development and later Minister for Education. He later served in Seanad Eireann where he remained until 1987.

He was a supporter and political ally of Des O’Malley, and therefore it was no surprise that he would follow him into his new political party, the Progressive Dem-

ocrats, where he advised on economic policy.

Paying tribute to the former minister following his death, local Senator Victor Boyhan said: “Martin always took a keen interested Dun Laoghaire and remained in contact with his wide circle of political friends across the constituency, he was a “distinguished public representative” a man of great wit, who was “fair and politically tough” when needed to be.

“Martin was always generous with his time and advice and very supportive of new and young entrants to the political field.”

“I offer my sincere condolences to his family – RIP.”

Call for more nonreligious schools in Ballinteer, Dundrum CLARE Daly TD was the guest speaker at a public meeting in The Mill Theatre in Dundrum on the evening of Wednesday, July 11.

The independent TD was invited to speak by Ballinteer resident Brian Leeson, who was the Together For Yes agent for the Rathdown constituency. Leeson is also the national chairperson of Eirigi, which hosted the Dundrum meeting.

Speaking after the event Clare Daly said: “The people of Rathdown are to be commended for voting YES in such huge numbers on May 25. The fact that over 76% of voters in this constituency voted to repeal the 8th sent out a hugely positive message to women and girls about their place in our society.”

Speaking in relation to the role of the Churches in the education system, Daly said: “Over 90% of all schools in this state are still under the patronage of the Catholic or other churches. In many areas parents have no option but to send their children to a Catholic ethos school, even when they themselves are of a different religion or of no religion at all.

“This situation is compounded

by years of chronic under-investment in the education system generally. The right to a secular education must be vindicated, in parallel to the government providing proper funding for school buildings and staff, which it has not done to date.”

Speaking in relation to the lack of non-religious schools in Ballinteer and Dundrum, Brian Leeson said: “The 2016 Census recorded that 30% of people in the Dundrum Local Electoral Area, which includes Ballinteer, are non-Catholic. It’s safe to assume that the percentage of non-Catholics is even higher among younger people who have children of school-going age.

The current mix of schools does not reflect that reality.

“In Ballinteer, there are three Catholic-ethos primary schools and one ‘Christian’ ethos secondary school.

“The three Catholic-ethos primary schools have an intake capacity of up to 240 children per year, but there is currently not a single non-Catholic primary or secondary school place in Ballinteer.

“The English-language Ballinteer Educate Together is currently stuck in Churchtown, with-

out any permanent school buildings in the Ballinteer community it was established six years ago to serve. In Dundrum, there is one Protestant-ethos and a number of Catholic-ethos primary schools.

The only non-religious primary school in the new Irish-language Gaelscoil na Fuinseoige.

“It’s time for some joined-up thinking in relation to the provision of primary and secondary education in Dundrum and Ballinteer. In the short term, there is a pressing need to establish an Irish-language non-religious primary school in Ballinteer and an English-language non-religious primary school in Dundrum.

“A similar approach needs to be taken to the provision of second level education across the area, to ensure that families have access to a local non-religious school.

“These new non- religious schools can be brought into existence through the divestment of schools that are currently under religious control, or through the establishment of entirely new schools.

“Whichever option is chosen, it needs to happen sooner rather than later.”

SOUTH DUBLIN: FACILITIES WERE INSTALLED WITHOUT PROPER PERMISSION

Crackdown on local Parcel Motel depots opened without permission PARCEL Motel, an online shopping facility that allows you to collect your purchases at your local Parcel Motel locker, is facing a crackdown on South Dublin depots it opened without permission.

Last year, Nightline, which runs Parcel Motel, applied to An Bord Pleanala for a ruling on whether a number of its facilities in south Dublin could be classified as “exempted development”.

However, it was ruled that the applicant is required to apply for permission for its parcel depots.

D u n L a o g h a i re - Ra t h d ow n County Council took action and began its crackdown on Parcel Motel facilities that were installed in its district without permission last year.

Dublin Gazette contacted the county council to explain the reason why the Parcel Motels were removed.

A spokesperson said: “We received a complaint from a member of the public on 1/12/2016 querying the planning status of a particular parcel motel.

“In considering this complaint, regard was had to a previous Sec-

tion 5 Declaration from 2014, in which An Bord Pleanala determined that the parcel motel constituted development which was not exempted development.

It is thought that up to eight Parcel Motel collection points in south Dublin were subject to planning enforcement enquiries.

Complaints Following its assessment of the complaints, the council ruled that each Parcel Motel site was not exempt from having to apply for planning permission.

LEGAL EAGLE

BY WALSH & PARTNERS SOLICITORS

Where there’s a will, there’s your clear wish, too THERE is no good reason not to make a will. Making a will is one of the important things you can do to protect your business and your family’s future.

If you don’t make a will, the State dictates who is entitled to your assets.

When a person dies without making a will, the rules of intestacy apply, governing who is entitled to receive a person’s property should they die.

The rules over wills are as follows: • Where the deceased leaves a spouse/civil partner only, the entire estate passes to the surviving spouse/civil partner.

• Where the deceased leaves a spouse/civil partner and children, the spouse/civil partner inherits two-thirds of the estate, and the children inherit the remaining third in equal shares each.

• Where the deceased leaves no parent alive, the estate is divided equally between the children.

• Where the deceased dies without a spouse/ civil partner, children or parent, the estate is divided between his or her brothers and sisters in equal shares.

• Where the deceased dies without a spouse/ civil partner, children, parent, brothers or sisters, all nephews and nieces take equally.

• Where there are no relatives, the State takes the entirety of the estate.

When you make a will you also get to choose who will administer your

estate. A will allows you to name the person or persons who would be the most suitable and who will ensure your wishes are carried out.

If you do not make a will this is also decided by law and may fall to someone you would never choose.

By making a will you also get to choose who will inherit items such as cars, things of sentimental value etc, and ensure that they pass to the people who will appreciate these items most.

It is particularly important if you have young children and want to provide appropriate care for them after your death that you make a will.

If you have young children, the will establishes a trust fund for their benefit and appoints guardians of your choice to look after them.

If you have a child with special needs, you can make arrangements in your will for their care after your death.

Any asset that is not specifically mentioned in your will falls into the ‘residue’ of your will – the remaining property of yours after the deduction of specific gifts, debts, legacies, tax and the expenses of the estate.

Careful will drafting can have a significant impact on the level of inheritance tax which will be paid. It provides an opportunity to assess the position and consider what steps can be taken to minimise the inheritance

tax liability.

The small cost of making a will can represent excellent value when compared to the tax savings that can be made.

By making a will you can also choose to create a life interest for someone, possibly a spouse or a child with special needs.

A life interest entitles someone to a right to enjoy the use of a property exclusively or the income that the capital generates during their lifetime. Once that person passes away, it will revert to the beneficiary you choose.

If you are single or separated and living with a partner, then without a will your partner may find him or herself without any share in your estate unless you have specifically provided for him/her in your will.

If you have a child who has taken over the family business and your wish is to leave it to that particular child, you need to make sure your will is up to date and reflects same – otherwise, if an unexpected tragedy occurs, it can leave that child in a very vulnerable situation where that business has not passed to him or her.

We all have a natural reluctance to contemplate our own death, but it is the one thing in life that is guaranteed.

My advice to every person is if you have not yet made a will, do so immediately, because: “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”

PEOPLE ON THE RADAR ❱❱ NOVELIST IS GETTING DOWN ON THE FARM DUBLIN PEOPLE AND THEIR STORIES

Campaign launched as assault numbers rising

MARK O’BRIEN

GARDAI have launched a new campaign called “Use Your Brain Not Your Fists”, urging young men to think of the consequences for themselves and others of being involved in assaults.

According to the Garda Siochana Analysis Service (GSAS), 2017 has seen the highest number of assaults since 2008.

These assaults typically take place in and around public places, such as streets, roads, pubs and hotels, between 8pm and 5am at the

weekend, peaking early Sunday morning.

International research has shown that the level of assaults can be associated with the vibrancy of the night time economy, which has shown signs of recovery in this country following the recession.

The total number of assaults decreased year on year between 2008 and 2013, but since then it has increased.

Last year saw the highest number of assaults since 2008.

Assault levels to date this year are on par with 2017 levels.

Sergeant Graham Kavanagh from the National Crime Prevention Unit, urged young men to think about the impact of their actions on themselves and others, and advised people to be streetwise when they are out and about.

“The vast majority of assaults that occur are needless and avoidable,” he said.

“They are usually carried out by males against males aged between 18 and 35. The peak time for these assaults is early Sunday morning. Don’t be that guy; use your brain not your fists.”

Sergeant Kavanagh advised

asdf asf dasf asdf sdaf dsaf asd

people to never attempt to reason with drunk or aggressive people and instead walk away and look for help.

“Be streetwise when you’re out and about,” he said.

“Planning is key to having a good night out. Arrange transport to and from events in advance. Let someone know where you are going and when you’ll be back.

“Avoid walking alone and in dark places. Be wary of your surroundings and mind your property.”

Assaults can leave a lasting physical and psychological impact on victims.

The campaign draws attention to how ‘a moment of madness’ can have life-changing consequences for the victim and attacker alike, and urges young men in particular to avoid assaults

The campaign will run across social media, in-pub advertising, and in locations such as nightclubs, sports

clubs and youth clubs.

It will also be extensively promoted in Third Level institutions from September.

DOG OF THE WEEK

Roddy Doyle’s Two Pints back for another round

Classic comedy

JM Synge’s classic comedy The Playboy of the Western World comes to the dlr Mill Theatre next month. A small community in County Mayo is thrown into turbulence with the arrival of Christy Mahon, a mysterious stranger claiming to have killed his father. The production runs from August 16 to 18 at 8pm, with a matinee show on August 18 at 2.30pm and from August 23 to 25 at 8pm, with a matinee on August 25 at 2.30pm. Tickets priced €18/€16 are available from www.milltheatre.ie

AFTER last year’s sellout tour of pubs across Ireland, the Abbey Theatre’s Two Pints by Roddy Doyle is back for another round stopping off at pubs in Ireland and the UK. Directed by Caitríona McLaughlin, Two Pints will head back on the road in August and September. The tour kicks off in The Flowing Tide.

Two Pints started as a conversation on Face-

book. Roddy Doyle has now brought the two characters to life in a play, to be performed in pubs.

Starring Liam Carney and Philip Judge, the audience are invited to pull up a stool and listen in as the friends chew the fat and set the world to rights.

Graham McLaren and Neil Murray, directors of the Abbey Theatre said: “We want the Abbey

Theatre, our national theatre, and its audience to be reflective of Ireland.

“To us, this means presenting work all over Ireland, and not necessarily in conventional spaces.

“Roddy’s funny, touching and provocative Two Pints seemed the perfect piece to do this with last year.”

Tickets are now on sale from abbeytheatre. ie

DUBLIN Gazette Newspapers have teamed up with Dogs Trust to help find homes for lost and abandoned dogs.

This week’s dog of the week is Pluto – an extremely handsome, five-year-old male Pit Bull Cross.

He is basically a big puppy who just adores the people he is familiar with and loves nothing more than spending time with them, playing fetch and being generally funny and goofy.

As Pluto doesn’t know his own strength and is a bouncy boy, he is looking for a home with people who would have an interest in continuing his training and teaching him new tricks.

Pluto is very clever and really enjoys learning new tricks and is also partial to a belly rub from his favourite people.

If you think you can offer Pluto a home, then please contact Dogs Trust on 01 879 1000. They are based in Finglas, just off exit 5 on the M50. Map and directions can be found on their website www. dogstrust.ie.

You can also find them on Facebook www.facebook.com/dogstrustirelandonline or Twitter @ DogsTrust.

Life’s biggest lie is that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. A lot of days you’ll struggle just to fix yourself a sandwich.

Enjoy a Wicked night out RACHEL D’ARCY

WICKED, one of the world’s bestloved musicals, has made its way to Dublin for a much anticipated, limited run this Summer.

Seen as something of a prequel as well as a retelling of the legendary 1930 movie The Wizard of Oz, Wicked tells the story of how the Good Witch and Bad Witch from the story originally met – and how at one point, they were actually close friends.

Wicked also paints a picture of how appearances may not always what they seem, and how true love can ultimately keep you fighting for what matters most.

It also offers a different view to Dorothy’s arrival in Oz, and how the Scarecrow and Tin Man came to be, too.

It’s truly a must-see for fans of the original Judy Garland hit film, but also for those who haven’t seen the classic movie either, and recognised widely as a musical for the whole family.

The story takes to the stage at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre for seven weeks as part of a UK/ Ireland tour of the hit production.

The tour takes in several major

Glinda (the ‘good’ witch) and Elphaba (the ‘bad’ witch) were once the best of friends

“

During the last Irish run of Wicked in 2013, more than 130,000 people nabbed a ticket cities and is currently running in Dublin until September 1, before setting off to Manchester, Cardiff, Southampton and Sunderland.

The Irish leg of the tour got under way last Wednesday to rave reviews, with Amy Ross taking on the role of ‘wicked’ witch Elphaba, and Helen Woolf stepping into ‘good’ witch Glinda’s

Japanese tourists in Killiney DART station taking photos of the information board. I asked why. “Because train is late. It’s exceptional.” If only they knew. @sjanemurf They’d be better off asking that fella Nostradamus when the next Dart’s coming

with a cast including Kristin Chenowith as Glinda, and Idina Menzel as Elphaba.

It has since seen a number of different productions held across the globe, receiving rave reviews and becoming a staple in pop culture.

Tickets for the show have been sold out across the world, with thousands of people flocking to New York’s Broadway and London’s West End to catch a glimpse of the show.

Both the West End and Broadway productions have dedi-

cated theatres for Wicked – the Apollo Victoria theatre and the Gershwin Theatre, respectively – showing the longevity of the musical and just how wellloved Elphaba and Glinda have become.

In fact, Wicked is already the 14th-longest running show in West End History.

Tickets for the limited sevenweek run of Wicked are on sale now. Ticket prices range from €25 to €76.50, and are available from Ticketmaster or the Bord Gais Box Office.

The musical originally began 15 years ago in San Francisco,

One of the world’s best-known and most-loved musicals comes back to Dublin after several years for a rare performance

WESTMEATH rockers The Academic have become the latest in a long line of Irish bands to add their lyrics to the Morrison Hotel’s walls.

The Morrison – located at Ormond Quay – have a long tradition of adding the lyrics of Irish bands to the walls of their hotel rooms.

Ahead of their gig last Friday in the Iveagh Gardens, a lyric from The Academic’s radio hit, Bear Claws, was added to the walls of room 322 in the long-standing Dublin hotel.

Those who stay in the room will see “You don’t have to be cool to make me shiver” painted onto the wall, alongside the Westmeath quartet’s name.

The band join a list of Irish legends in the music industry to have their lyrics painted on the Morrison’s walls, with other acts including Rory Gallagher, The Script, Kodaline, Thin Lizzy and more.

REMEMBER when lots of people predicted that hopelessly uncool, obsolete, old-fashioned vinyl records were dead?

Well, vinyl saw continued growth again in 2017, with ever more people indulging in hearing their favourite albums as an audio vinyl record, not just a digital download or streamed track.

The vinyl resurgence has been happening over the past few years, with some artists also taking the plunge to release albums and singles on cassette once again, as listeners crave physical

copies of the music they love.

One such vinyl retailer, Golden Discs, has reported that they believe that their turnover for 2017 was driven, in part, by the continued resurgence of the vinyl market, reporting that their vinyl sales last year were up by more than 50% on their 2016 figures.

Having been in business in Ireland since 1962, Golden Discs were around to see the first big rise of vinyl records, and are saying that such sales this year have the potential to be as big as those in the 1980s.

Golden Discs chief

exe c u t ive S te p h e n Fitzgerald said: “We’ve experienced six consecutive years of vinyl growth and it shows no signs of abating.

“There’s no denying the convenience of streaming services but consumers want something more tangible and we anticipate this year’s s a l e s being our biggest since the 1980’s.

“There is a growing acknowledgment that compressed digital

music files are typically of lesser sound quality.

Our experience is that ‘super-fans’ are increasingly turning to physical formats for this reason.”

WHAT’S BIG IN MUSIC, CINEMA, TV AND BOOKS

ENTERTAINMENT

CATHY DAVEY | A CALM FARM LIFE IS A BOON FOR HER MUSIC

Her quiet farming helps inspirations to blossom CATHY DAVEY is a real mainstay of the Irish music scene: of her four albums, two have been nominated for the Choice Music Prize Irish album of the year, while her latest studio album, New Forest (released in 2016) peaked at number five on the Irish album charts.

Oddly, despite her success, Davey’s most recent release – a live album recorded at Dublin’s Unitarian Church and released a few months ago – comes despite music being a secondary focus right now.

“I’ve been working more on the farm,” she explains.

“We’ve had a lot of stuff to do; I’ve got into the rhythm of animal things. I get into a groove with it, putting in fence posts, working with my hands, things like that.”

Davey shares an animal sanctuary set up around her home with partner Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy), with their combined project named for the Father Ted TV series, My Lovely Horse Rescue.

You’d think the pair spend a lot of time making music together, but it’s really not the case: they’re more into focusing on their own thing musically, and sharing the more normal aspects of life.

“Neil will sometimes call me in to sing a vocal for him when he’s working,” Davey explains, “but I think it’s more because I’m there than anything else. We’ve never really been involved in each other’s work beyond that.”

Davey’s work is slowly progressing, however, as the harder periods for what sounds like an idyllic farm life start to take shape a little more comfortably.

“I’m writing on drums right now, and recording bits,” she

tells us. “I’m trying to do this thing, I have about half an album, which is just drums and melody, but I keep getting distracted by other stuff.

“Just melody and rhythm are my thing at the moment. I’m doing these nursery rhymes, too. I’ve wanted to do it for years.

“These are things I feel compelled to do,” she continues. “Writing music on your own is not easy, and doesn’t always lead to happiness.

“I need to break things up, and the farm has been great for that. Things need to feel right with the world outside.”

Davey is softly spoken and considered, something that’s become increasingly reflected in her music in recent years.

She comes across like she’s intensely thoughtful about life, and is working hard on aspects like balance, selfworth, and doing things for the right reasons.

“Life isn’t always ecstatic,” she tells us. “It’s not meant to be like that. Reality, I find, is more of a contented place.

“Something about music that isn’t good is it can feel like talking, talking, talking about yourself. I find caring about what people think of you very hard. Contemplating how you’re perceived isn’t good for the soul, or for your style.

“The new music, when it arrives, will be like my strong, straightforward tracks; like Little Red, and Moving.”

There have been other changes, too. “I’ve been doing things more locally in recent years and come round to the idea that I don’t really like touring. I’m a homebird,” Davey explains.

“If it were up to me, I’d play lots of nights, but in the same place down the road so I can just go home afterwards. The music industry doesn’t really work like that, but I’m doing little, intimate tours instead.

“It gives me time to get back to the rescue stuff, and to do some hibernating and organising for next year, before I come back with some concrete material.”

Given much of Davey’s best work is lifted with beautiful,

thoughtful lyrics that seem born out of such contemplation, we’re highly optimistic.

A particularly tall tale THE Rock leaps into action in Skyscraper (Cert 12A, 102 mins) – one of the summer’s biggest (and certainly tallest) high-action, low-brainer blockbusters. Here, The Rock is just your bogstandard ex-FBI superhero wonderdad, forced to run, climb, wobble and leap into action to save his family when terrorists take over the Hong Kong skyscraper they’re in.

THE FIRST PURGE An edgy origins tale

RECENT life-life affairs over in America lend The First Purge (Cert 18, 97 mins) an edgy air that certainly don’t do the film any harm. As a prequel origins story, The First Purge (telling of how Americans embraced The Purge – an annual 12-hour night of absolutely-anythinggoes lawlessness) is an effective Trojan horse for some sly social commentary on modern affairs, giving it some depth. A bit better than its reviews may suggest.

mous Hotel Artemis (Cert 16, 94 mins)?

Artemis marks the welcome return of Jodie Foster, who doesn’t make many films these days but picks her projects carefully, with this hotel giving her plenty of space to exercise her comedic chops as she scurries about.

In a near future world that’s almost and virtually identical to our own, Foster is The Nurse – effectively the caretaker, manager, doctor and prisoner of the Hotel Artemis, an

exclusive joint that only caters for criminals and crooks, and which is half hotel, half hospital.

After all, if you’re on the lam, possibly with some unrequested bullets interfacing with your arm, you need the right place to crash at and get help.

The Nurse runs a tight ship, with the Artemis’s guests given temporary, anonymous room names such as ‘Honolulu’, as an uneasy but rigidly enforced peace is maintained at the Artemis, no matter what’s happening outside, and who the guests are.

Outside the Artemis, things are rapidly going to hell, with Los Angeles facing rioting over water

Electric car firm Tesla generates some more negative headlines

SHANE DILLON

HOW do you spend $7,430 a minute?

That’s a question a number of analysts have been mulling over, as it’s reportedly suggested as the current running costs for Tesla.

Best known for its electric car research – and for its boss, Elon Musk (who you’ll remember from last week’s Thai cave diver-insulting shenanigans) – Tesla hit the news again this week.

The automaker’s shares dropped about 5% when an embarrassing internal memo surfaced, with Tesla reportedly

asking some US suppliers for refunds.

Running a quietly giant company looking to revolutionise motoring can’t be cheap, but the memo caused some surprise and alarm, momentarily spooking investors and seeing its shares take a hit.

That $7-grand figure comes from the billion a quarter Tesla is currently using (that’s about $7,430 a minute), and even though Tesla recently announced it’s cutting several thousand jobs, it’s still got some large running costs.

Of course, Tesla still has billions of cash in its war chest, and the costs it’s incurred, to date, have at least brought it to the

point where its mass-market Model 3s are rolling out, ready as a revenue stream.

Tesla defended the memo’s suggestion that a number of suppliers were asked for an undisclosed rebate, saying that “negotiation is a standard part of the procurement process”.

Company shares often wobble up and down in value, and the latest drop, while unwelcome, shouldn’t make a huge difference to Tesla.

The only problem is, a merciless head honcho – the Wolf King – has also been ripped off and knows that the Artemis is hiding the two-bit crooks who’ve got his loot.

The scene is set for the Artemis to face some unwanted, violent wouldbe ‘guests’ attempting to get in, while its equally violent guests know that their lives are at stage if this happens.

Meanwhile the city continues to go to hell, with The Nurse at the middle of it all, trying to maintain

At least it’s a new twist in the slightly tired heistgone-wrong genre, with the Artemis inviting some scenery-chewing turns from its guests.

The one-day event will focus on a wide range of social media-related topics, with everything from how real news media is fighting back against fake news, Facebook’s move into broadcasting, increasing data available to advertisers about who is watching what and where they are watching it, and how marketers, influencers, and media are using new technologies in new ways, and much more to be included in the event.

The B-plots (such as an unwelcome policeman guests, breaking one of the Artemis’s primary rules) are also fine, moving things briskly along.

But with the Artemis, the core and side plots are almost incidental, as it’s a film to enjoy pretty much for the sheer charisma of its leads alone.

Streaming the latest news

New Netflix feature offers a way to have Smart viewing THE ability to download Netflix and take shows on the go has been a lifesaver for those of us trapped on long commutes, heading off on holidays or if we find ourselves without an internet connection.

Now, Netflix has introduced Smart Downloads to make binging the latest series even easier.

When you finish watching the latest downloaded episode of a series, Smart Downloads will delete the last episode, and then automatically download the next one for seamless viewing.

It isn’t a compulsory setting, so users can turn it on and off if they want to, meaning viewers remain in control of their screen time.

Smart Downloads are currently only available for those with Android devices.

REVIEW | WHO IS AMERICA? HITS SOME UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS Streaming shows dominate Emmys

The Ali-G mastermind takes aim at America RACHEL D’ARCY

IT’S been a while since Sacha Baron Cohen has graced the silver screen.

His edgy, tongue-incheek take on pop culture and more gained him notoriety back in the day on shows such as Ali-G – but how well does his unique brand of abrasive comedy fit more modern views?

Who Is America?

(Channel 4) sees Cohen return to what he does best – causing controversy.

Described as a ‘political satire mockumentary series’, it involves Cohen disguising himself in a variety of different get-ups; as an Israeli gun-enthusiast, a liberal free-thinker, and a conservative journalist in both episode one and two.

There’s something charismatic about the undercover comedian – he’s able to carry out undercover work with perfect stealth, never once seeming to break his poker face.

He comes out with the most random things whilst in character, many of them very crude and controversial.

One scene sees Cohen

THE Emmys, the biggest awards in television, announced their nominees last week, and saw shows from streaming networks triumph in the nominations ahead of the glittering awards ceremony in LA on September 17.

Netflix and Amazon Prime both had a number of shows nominated in several of the categories for this year’s ceremony, which saw streaming’s biggest year yet in the awards.

Shows such as Amazon’s The Americans, Killing Eve, and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel all received nods, in total receiving 22 nominations.

Out of the 22 nominations, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel bagged the online-retail giant’s streaming service a whopping 16 nominations. Netflix received 112 nominations in this year’s awards, making history as being the first streaming platform to receive the most nominations in the Emmys.

Popular shows such as Stranger Things and The Crown got a number of nominations, with the likes of GLOW, and Queer Eye receiving nods.

Olivia Coleman takes over as an older Queen Elizabeth

Philip Van Cleave, head of the Virginia Citizen’s Defence League, is oblivious to the fact he’s been set up by Sacha Baron Cohen (right) as he shoots ‘guns for toddlers’

(in the guise of a former Israeli soldier) meet with some members of the National Rifle Association (NRA), trying to encourage them to buy into his new scheme – guns disguised as teddy bears, bunnies and unicorns to train toddlers in pre-school to tackle school shootings with guns of their own.

“My son was involved in the first scheme, may he rest in peace,” a disguised Cohen says to Philip Van Cleave, head of the Virginia

Citizen’s Defence League, and who doesn’t even bat an eye at the revelation.

While it seems ridiculous to you and I that anyone in their right mind would want to train children who can’t even read or write to use a gun, Who Is America? shows us that not everyone believes that.

Several of America’s Republicans and NRA representatives endorse the scheme on camera, and while the segment is likely to garner a horri-

fied laugh or two from the audience, it paints a scary reality.

Episode two is just as controversial, as a young reality star encourages viewers to “donate to support child soldiers” in Sierra Leone.

Cohen engages with actual politicians and real-life representatives of politics and culture in the show, duping them into expressing their true feelings in front of a camera, meaning that ‘The Puppy

Pistol’ could be a not-so-far away reality.

Whether this is Cohen’s intention or not is yet to be seen.

Does he want us to realise that the comedic scenarios he’s painting could manifest in the future, and that there’s a serious undertone to the one-liners he manages to slide in?

Considering Who Is America? has only just started, these questions have certainly piqued my interest to keep watching ...

Royalists rejoice – The Crown unveils its new Series 3 cast FOLLOWING the news that there would be an allnew cast for Season 3 of The Crown, the exclusive first peek at the new line-up has been unveiled by Netflix.

It’s the same characters – but with a new cast, as it takes place after significant time has passed, with the cast being replaced every two seasons as new decades of Queen Elizabeth’s life are explored.

The first shake-up of the main cast sees Claire Foy replaced by Olivia Coleman in the role of Queen Elizabeth, while Helena Bonham Carter takes over the role of HRH Princess Margaret. Ben Daniels will also join the cast as Antony Armstrong-Jones, also known as Lord Snowdon.

Season 3 of The Crown is expected to premiere on Netflix in early 2019.

Norwegian airlines boosts it Boston service NORWEGIAN Airlines is to increase capacity on its Dublin to Boston service by 40 per cent.

From next summer the airline will offer a year-round daily transatlantic service between Dublin and Providence Boston – up from five flights per week.

Norwegian’s chief commercial officer Thomas Ramdahl said the increase was to meet demand “and continue expanding our presence in Ireland”.

The airline’s expansion continues in 2019 with the launch of flights to Ontario, Canada next March, bringing the number of transatlantic departures per week from Dublin to 28.

WE’VE been blessed with some sizzling summer weather – so why not keep that tan going with a September sun break?

Adult-only getaways come into their own in early autumn when the little darlings go back to school, and resorts in Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands are top of the hit list.

It’s the

Arcos de Marinha

perfect balance of high (but not too high) temperatures to keep you basking by the pool, resorts which are no longer bursting at the seams, and cheaper prices.

Whether you fancy the stunning coastline of the Algarve, sipping cocktails poolside in Costa del Sol or dancing the night away in Ibiza, there are bargains to be had.

Central and southern Portugal are hard to beat when it comes to fabulous weather and the Algarve with its cooling Atlantic breeze is now a mecca for sun worshippers.

Its amazing coastline is also a plus with cliffsides giving way to little romantic alcoves at every turn. Top spots include Benagil Cave and

the Arcos de Marinha which are best visited by boat or kayak.

Fresh fish and seafood are also a draw and it’s common to catch the scent of salt and fresh fish in the air. In some locations, restaurants serve catches that were plucked from the ocean earlier that same day.

There’s also plenty of choice when it comes to golf courses and the area is famed for its nightlife.

Best for after dark entertainment are Albufeira, Vilamoura and Portimao.

If sightseeing is your thing the Algarve is dotted with castle ruins, museums and stunning cathedrals.

The castle in the charming historical town of Silves and the Se Cathedral in Fara are two stand outs.

Then there are the beaches. You’re never far away from a glorious

stretch of sand whether it’s the quieter strands near Aljezur or Tavira, or the busier surfer spots further south such as Sagres.

Last but not least is the value for money.

Your euro stretches further in Portugal than most other European destinations.

Eat out for a tenner – and wash it down with a nice bottle of plonk for less than a fiver or a traditional medronho liquer.

Getting technical in the living room

Sony have announced the arrival of its new HTZF9 soundbar with Dolby Atmos

THE living room is often both the cosy, central entertainment space for families and the stylish showcase of the home for guests. So, integrating a home theatre set can be a challenge when balancing style and cutting-edge home cinema technology.

To announce the arrival of its new HT-ZF9 soundbar with Dolby Atmos, Sony has partnered with interiors stylist Selina Lake to provide useful tips on how to mix technology more seamlessly in to the home.

Selina Lake, Interiors & Lifestyle Stylist and Art Director in London and author of bestselling interior and styling books, including Botanical Style said: “The styling you see in magazines and online can lack technology, in particular the TV and home theatre systems.

Historically technology wasn’t designed with

style in mind, so when styling we’ve preferred to remove it from the room. This has meant that many people don’t know how to style the tech in their rooms – and you often see them positioned awkwardly in corners or perched above fireplaces. With technology now becoming increasingly sleek and attractive, it’s time to address this and help people learn how to incorporate these much-needed items in the room in a way that elevates both it and the entire layout. “ I’ve worked with Sony to create some smart tips that transform your living room into a beautiful yet tech-advanced space. The Sony ZF9 soundbar can be incorporated not only to immerse you into whatever film or box-set you’re watching, but to benefit the style and theme of your room.”

• Introduce houseplants and single cut stems, such as fern leaves, next to your Sony ZF9 soundbar to soften the look, making sure not to obstruct the viewing • Put houseplants and foliage in a mix of containers to fit the eclectic tech-friendly style, such as galvanised metal, glass bottle vases, concrete planters and basket holders • Mix textures throughout to complement and juxtapose the sleek feel of your home cinema hardware. Use rattan and woven straw baskets as plant holders or to store extra throws and organic elements like coasters made from bamboo • For ultimate viewing pleasure you need comfort not just style when it comes to seating.

Cover sofas in soft natural linen and add extra cushions and throws for cosy nights

FRESH IDEAS FOR YOUR HOME AND WARDROBE

Express Yourself!  Rachel D’Arcy

Beauty Review

fashion industry, Carolyn says she believes elements of psychology and fashion can go hand in hand.

Carolyn says: “My advice, and hopefully empowerment of consumers, comes from an evident space within psychology, the understanding of identity and self.

“Understanding that we have different selves, and different situations, and how our personality changes.

“I would say to consumers to think about the context when they are choosing an item of clothing, whether it relates to a particular concept or it’s an item of clothing they love and will find a scenario to wear that in.”

The TK Maxx #MaxximumStyle campaign encourages people to show off share their style with the TK Maxx Facebook and Twitter, so share what makes you, well, you!

Stylist Cathy O’Connor

TRENDS in fashion change like the weather, and everyone tries to dip their toe into whatever is ‘cool’ at any given moment.

This phenomenon as of late has become known as ‘twinning’ - people trying to replicate looks seen on social media to the detriment of having the exact same look as someone else.

“I would really encourage people to champion their own style” says psychologist Carolyn Wair, author of ‘The Psychology of Fashion’.

While she wouldn’t necessarily negate trends and their influencing power, Carolyn says there’s something in every trend that can inspire the wearer.

“We can find we can feel and look great in something that we would not have expected. This is where stores like TK Maxx are great. Somewhere that carries different styles and designers where you can try to find what works best for you, or what could inspire you.”

Carolyn is currently working with TK Maxx on their #MaxximumStyle campaign, which encourages indi-

viduals to explore what makes them comfortable, and helps them to stand out from the crowd.

Looking at trends as a whole, Carolyn suggests that anyone who is looking to be considered more fashionable, who wants to champion a sense of individuality through their clothing, should choose an aspect of what’s trendy and try to tailor it to their own style.

“Rather than copying the entire look, take something like the shape of sleeves and adjust it to what makes you comfortable.

Something small that will still help you look trendy as well as fashionable,” Carolyn says, .

“I really encoura ge p e o p l e to experiment with clothes. We do have styles that we feel comfortable in, but experimenting can really be an eye opener,” Carolyn said.

FORD is well known in North America for its dominance of the SUV and pick-up truck market while here in Europe the blue oval brand is playing catch-up with the SUV competition.

That’s changing following the arrival of the new Ford Edge, a larger and more serious SUV than the current mid-size Kuga.

The size and performance put the Edge well ahead of the Kuga so it’s a match for the bigger players. For me, the Edge competes with the likes of the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Land Rover Discovery Sport. Relative to these the new Ford Edge is pricey while it has an impressive specification with a lot included that will be add-ons, and expensive ones at that, from the others.

Kenilworth classic for league Finals  DECLAN KING

sport@dublingazette.com

IRELAND’S top lawn bowlers have been battling it out since April to qualify for The Bowling League of Ireland Championship Finals 2018.

This year’s event takes place at the Kenilworth Bowling Club in Dublin throughout this week and finishes on Saturday.

The sport is growing at an enormous rate as PRO Shay Carberry, who plays for Clontarf, told the Dublin Gazette during the week.

“Since I came into the sport about 15 years ago, I can see the growth and the number of younger players involved is incredible” said Carberry He added that there are a series of local players to look out for at this marquee event in the sport’s calendar.

“There is an all-Dublin pairing of Dun Laoghaire’s Blair Somers and Mark Brown against neighbours

Blackrock’s Michael Strain and Michael Keegan in the Boyd Cup Senior Pairs. We expect this to be a real quality game.

“In the Under-25s Railway Union Cup, it’s an all CYM affair with the up and coming Colum O’Brien facing Cathal Gillen.

“The Sixsmith Cup Seniors is an all Dublin affair with Crumlin’s Lorcan Byrne, Noel Maher, John Byrne and Ian D’Arcy facing Blackrock’s Michael Strain, Martin Ryan, Alan Geary and Michael Keegan while the Tyler Cup Junior Pairs is an all Cork affair that includes the father and son team of Simon and Alan Wolfe” added Carberry.

The action gets underway up to Friday at 5.45pm each day with a two o’clock start on Saturday for the Final’s Day. Stephen Millane is Competition Secretary and he is looking forward to the event: “There are top quality

Dun Laoghaire’s Blair Somers will be looking to make his mark in the Boyd Cup final alongside Mark Brown in the senior pairs

bowlers left in all competitions. Some cracking matches still to come.

“There will be live score updates on our website www.irishlawnbowls.ie.

“To create an even more exciting atmosphere, we have walk-in music for the competitors on the Friday and Saturday,” added Millane.

The National Championships,

meanwhile, will be held in Dun Laoghaire Bowling Club on Friday, August 31 and Saturday, September 1.

The champions of the four Associations play semi-finals and the winners contest the finals.

The winners qualify to play in the British Isles Bowling Championships the following year.

ATHLETICS: HOMECOMING OF SORTS FOR TOP IRISH TALENT

Morton magic sees Santry shine bright One of the highlights of the Irish athletics year, the Morton Games welcomed a high quality field with visiting international talent getting the edge over many of the local competitors  JAMES HENDICOTT

sport@dublingazette.com

THE MORTON GAMES returned for arguably Irish Athletic’s biggest elite event of the year last Thursday night.

An influx of top-class international names upped the level competition, though the highend athletes landing in Dublin did, in some events, push the Irish competitors down the field.

This particular edition of the games, hosted as always at the Morton Stadium in Santry, incorporated a celebration of the 60th anniversary of Australian Herb Elliott’s world mile record, set in the same stadium in 1958. Elliott’s time in August of that year was 3:54.5.

It was the tourists who dominated the popular Morton Mile this time around, too, with American Sam Prakel coming home just a touch slower than Elliott all those years ago, heading the field in 3.55.80.

A full eleven runners got home in under the iconic four minute-mark, showing the quality of the field. John Travers was the best of the Irish in sixth place, still only a second and a half short of the title at 3.57.34.

The Donore Harriers man might expect a local challenge from Raheny’s Brian Fay in the fairly short term: 19-year-old Fay just missed out on what would have been the youngest ever sub four minute mile run outdoors by an Irish athlete as

he showed his strength.

Perhaps the stand-out home performance of the games for a home athlete, however, came from Clonliffe Harriers Stephen Rice, whose challenge in the javelin saw him rise to second on the Irish all-time list with a throw of 75.89, behind only Terry McHugh.

The throw is also a national Under-23 record, but wasn’t quite enough to push him higher than second on the day in an impressive field.

Blackrock AC’s middle-distance runner Sarah Healy was another star draw. Healy is currently the fastest 1,500 metre athlete in her age group but had her work cut out for her against a far older and more experienced field.

CUALA MANY thanks to all those who came out to support our adult hurling golf classic last Friday in Dun Laoghaire Golf Club.

Great to see so many Cuala ladies involved with county teams this weekend.

Congrats to Jennifer Dunne and Martha Byrne with the Dublin Ladies footballers and Sinead Murphy, Hannah O’Dea and Sinead Wylde who lined out with the Dublin Premier Junior Camogie team.

Congratulations to Mick Fitzsimons, Con O’Callaghan, Mark Schutte, Conor Mullally and the Dublin footballers on their recent win against Donegal in the Super 8s.

The Cuala All-Ireland lunch will be held on Friday August 31 this year.

It’s a little earlier than usual so make sure to mark your diaries. Contact cualalunch@gmail.com or Peadar at 087 234 5393 for details and bookings.

The crowds flocked to Morton Stadium for a super evening’s athletics this week.

The 17-year-old did put on a little pressure at the front early on in the 1,500 metres, but eventually drifted back to 11th place in 4:17.36, a strong time for her age nonetheless.

There’s a build up of topquality Irish female athletes at just below Healy’s distance, too. Siofra Cleirigh-Buttner returned from competition for Villanova College – where she’s been the American university’s stand out athlete this year – to run 2.02.63 over the 800 metres.

The DSDAC middle distance star came up against the equally impressive Ciara Mageean, who ran half a second faster at 2.02.13, the second fastest time she’s ever run over the distance. Neither runner did quite enough to get the better of visiting American Hannah Green.

There was some less happy news for Mark English who pulled up before he was able to complete his 800 metres, making it onto the closing straight before he suffered a calf injury.

The 2014 European bronze medalist looks likely to be ruled out of the 2018 European Championships in Berlin, for which the Morton Games were supposed to be a warm up. Cork athlete Phil Healy fell just short in the 400 metres as she lost out to Maggie Barrie of Sierra Leone over the final stretch in the single-lap contest.

All in, it was mostly an evening of near misses for the local competitors, yet some of the times and near-misses offer plenty of encouragement, while the Games themselves continue to draw great crowds as interest in local athletics steps up.

LEAGUE OF IRELAND: BUCKLEY SETS SIGHTS ON TOP HALF

LOI SHORTS Rovers denied by post

St Pat’s finally put end to LOI wait for victory LOI PREMIER DIVISION St Patrick’s Athletic Limerick  DAVE DONNELLY sport@dublingazette.com

2 1

LIAM Buckley has set his sights on a top-half finish after his St Patrick’s Athletic side ended a sevengame losing streak with a 2-1 win over Limerick on Friday night.

The Saints had sunk from fourth place to seventh as they went two months without a league point, which has all but ended their ambitions of European football for the first time in three years.

With the revelation the club’s ambitious plan to build a 12,000-seater stand as part of the regeneration the old St Michael’s Estate had

been rejected, it’s been a demoralising few weeks.

And it looked like the Saints were set for yet another setback when Billy Dennehy put Limerick in front against the club he left in the winter from the penalty spot after 17 minutes.

The Inchicore side rallied, however, with late goals from super-sub Conan Byrne giving them a win and some muchneeded positivity around the beleaguered club.

“We played far better in the second half, like we’ve done in a lot of games in previous weeks,” Buckley told the Dublin Gazette.

“We had a little bit of luck at the end but overall I thought we deserved our win.

“They weren’t bad in the first half but we had juggled a couple of bits and pieces around and it certainly didn’t work from my point of view.

“The balance of the team [was wrong]. We couldn’t get close to them and we weren’t effective when we had the ball.

We changed a few things around and we played quite well.”

Freedom Barry Maguire had the freedom of Richmond Park early on against Conor Clifford, who left the Munster club earlier this month due to their financial troubles.

Maguire f lashed a free kick wide early on before driving at Brendan Clarke from the edge of

the box as he finished a move he started by robbing Clifford in midfield.

It was Maguire who won the penalty that led to the opener when he was clattered by Killian Brennan in the box as he got on the end of Darren Murphy’s pre-rehearsed corner.

Buckley brought on Conan Byrne and Jamie Lennon at the back and a much more balanced Saints side took the game to the Blues, who were down to the bare bones in terms of personnel.

Dean Clarke should have opened the scoring following a mistake from Killian Brouder but was denied by a great Tommy Holland save, and Holland would deny Thomas Byrne later on.

T h e d a m eve n t u ally burst when Murphy tripped Conan Byrne in the area and the winger levelled from the spot, and he completed the turnaround with a wellplaced header three minutes later.

Buckley has his eye on Friday’s opponents Derry City, who are five points ahead of the Saints in fifth.

“I have no doubt it’ll be a difficult game. They’re a few points ahead of us. If they beat us, they could be out of distance for us, but if we can beat them we’re back in the mix.

“Winning can give you a bit of a bounce, so hopefully we can go into next week with a bit of positivity.”

SHAMROCK Rovers came within the width of a post of becoming the first League of Ireland side to progress in Europe after losing the first leg at home.

Rovers travelled to Stockholm with a 1-0 deficit following the first day’s play in Tallaght, Daniel Sundgren’s goal having given the Swedish cup winners a vital lead.

The Hoops went ahead in the tie and level in the tie after just 19 minutes at the Friends Arena, however, as Dan Carr got free to volley home from a corner.

Rovers had a glorious chance to make it 2-0 on the night – and leave the Swedes in need of two – when Joel Coustrain intercepted an errant backpass.

The Limerick man, playing infield rather than his regular wing position in a 3-5-2, had just Oscar Linner to beat but shot straight at the AIK goalkeeper.

The home side grew stronger in the second half but the best chance fell to Rovers as Sean Kavanagh picked out Aaron Greene on the edge of the six-yard box.

The striker – on his second substitute appearance since re-signing from Bray Wanderers – headed goalwards but, with the keeper beaten, hit the outside of the woodwork.

The miss would cost the Hoops as substitute Nicolas Stefanelli broke through on goal in the fourth minute of extra time and slid the ball home, and AIK just about held on.

“We did more than enough over the two legs to go through,” said manager Stephen Bradley.

“We’re frustrated but there’s a lot of positives to take.”

WNL CALL FOR NEW TEAMS THE FAI have invited expressions of interest for new clubs to enter the Women’s National League in 2019.

The association launched the first-ever Under-17s National League for women earlier this month, which includes seven of the eight clubs competing at senior level and four under-17s only.

Of the six Dublin clubs in the men’s League of Ireland, just two have equivalent women’s clubs, Shelbourne and UCD, while Peamount United are twice winners of the league.

Any club signing up would have to sign up to the FAI’s participation agreement and its associated licensing conditions.

“Any club or entity will have to meet the high standards of the participation agreement as it is important to try and improve every aspect of the league, on and off the field,” said FAI director of competitions Fran Gavin.

“Relevant stadiums, coaching-quality and a player pathway are extremely important features for a Women’s National League club.”

DEIRDRE Duke said it was like a home game when she propelled the Irish women’s hockey team to a first World Cup group stage win since 1986 with a pair of goals in a 3-1 win over a hotly fancied USA last Saturday in London.

The majority of the fans who made it to Lee Valley were sporting the green shirt and they saw a breathtaking performance as they belied their ranking to give their hopes of emerging from the group a big boost.

Speaking afterwards, UCD skipper Duke told the Dublin Gazette: “It was incredible. It really felt like we were playing in Dublin, so many green shirts in the crowd and its amazing to play in front of a crowd like. You don’t get that too often down in

UCD on a Saturday!

“If we can play as well as we did against the US in the next two games, we should put ourselves in position to get into that crossover game. We are hugely proud of our performance.”

The former Kilmacud Crokes club woman scored just four minutes into the tie with one of her first touches of the game, firing home after latching onto Roisin Upton’s long ball out of defence.

Shirley McCay slapped in a second soon after before Margaux Paolino got the US back into the game from a penalty corner move.

But Duke sealed the deal when she was located by former UCD and Alexandra College team mate Nikki Evans from a ball across the D. The striker steadied herself before firing home from close range to send Ireland into

dreamland.

It was the country’s first World Cup appearance since 2002 when they lost seven out of seven group matches. But there were few nerves for what was the biggest stage any of these players had played on.

In the anthems, the big screens portrayed wide grins and laughs as they soaked in the atmosphere with large pockets of green apparent.

There were no glares

into the middle distance, no tears nor introspective closed eyes, thinking of the pain that had gone before to eventually reach this stage.

“Our motto is just ‘enjoy the tournament’,” twogoal hero Deirdre Duke said afterwards. “It’s a dream to score in a World Cup, even to play in a World Cup. We’ve never been here before, we are ranked 15th out of 16 teams. There’s no pressure. So if you can’t enjoy

a moment like that, your national anthem with all your friends and family there, what’s the point!”

Next on their agenda is a Thursday game with India, the side they beat to qualify in the first place for the competition with a 2-1 win last summer. Win that and they will be assured of, at the very least, a place in the knock-out stages with either a last 12 crossover match or a quarter-final spot depending on how they do against England.

Vard duo win Foxrock Claret

FATHER and Son team Derek and Jamie Vard took the laurels at the Foxrock Claret Jug Invitational Scotch Foursomes last Friday after five days of action.

The event was a tremendous success with 52 teams representing 31 Clubs – including Portmarnock for the first time – with nine Club Captains, six Vice Captains and three Presidents represented.

Maurice Pratt, Paddy Kavanagh, Michael Qualifying scores on Sunday, July 15 were Crowley Fergal Mulchrone, Pat O’Neill, three shots higher, at 38 points, than last Derek Vard and Jamie Vard, Gerry Halpenny year and the quality of play represented in at the presentation.

the knockout matches was fully reflected in Friday’s final when the Vard team of Derek (16 handicap) and Jamie (5 handicap) went one better than their Runner Up position in 2017.

They beat the impressive pairing of Paddy Kavanagh (7 handicap) and Michael Crowley (2 handicap) That pair had a hole in one at the 8th hole in their Wednesday quarter-final win over 2017 winners, Brian and Colm Gleeson on the 18th hole.

TOTAL KICKBOXING

New Sandyford club hosts first grading event

TOTAL Kickboxing and Street Defence, based in Sandyford Community centre, held their first grading event last week as the fledgling group looks to build from their introductions in May this year.

The group teach all types of martial arts and street defence to the surrounding community area including kickboxing, K-1, Low Kick, Box Fit - Kick Fit, Street Defence and awareness training. Master Liam Whelan is pictured with his students after their first grading which was held in the Sandyford community centre.

STEPHEN MCAFEE notched up another win in his fledgling and ever more impressive super featherweight boxing career at Good Counsel over the weekend, getting the better of Polish fighter Damian Lawniczak in a points decision over six rounds.

The Sallynoggin man was widely fancied to win the fight in advance, and ultimately played with Lawniczak a little in order to gain some ring time, before comfortably overcoming his challenge by a 59-54 decision.

“I put him down towards the end of the first round and to tell you the truth, I could probably have finished him then,” McAfee told the Dublin Gazette.

“I decided to let him get back up and recover and get some time in the ring. I think it’s important to get that experience. I’ve been looking at the footage and I tend to be critical of myself. I can see a few areas that I can work on, as well as what I did well, so I’ll be focusing on that.”

McAfee now holds a 4(2)-0-1 record, including his BUI Celtic super featherweight title win over Colin O’Donovan in March of this year, and is looking a likely candidate to progress further, including with an Irish title fight touted as a possibility after his latest win.

“I don’t look beyond the next fight, really,” McAfee told us. “I wanted to make sure I landed punches well, that I was accurate and I worked the face and the body.

“That variety is really important. I can work on my movement, I saw in the video that I leant in a bit at times and that’s really disappointing. But I’ll learn from it, and time the next fight so I’m in peak condition.”

McAfee isn’t sure what comes next just yet, but is likely to hold off fighting until

October or so.

“I’m going to take a holiday and then I should have a date for it when I come back,” he says of future plans. It might be a title fight but there’s something else that might be worth looking at, too. I trust my coaching team, they’ll make the right choice, and I’ll just fight whoever’s in front of me.”

McAfee is being cagey on the specifics, then, with the details yet to be confirmed, but if he keeps winning, great opportunities

are almost inevitably on the horizon.

“I’m not really thinking beyond a next fight, but there’s no reason I couldn’t go further, go oversea or across the pond. We’ll take it as it comes,” he explains.

“I’m in good shape and feeling good about how things are going. I’ll keep doing my thing, mixing things up and working on making an impact on whoever I’m up against. My shot selection’s coming on and I’ll be ready for whoever’s next, for sure.”

Cabinteely’s senior women’s team 1 6

CABINTEELY’S senior ladies whipped up a storm with considerable style and panache as they ran up a huge win over Shankill FC in Shanganagh Park on Monday night.

Cabo were more than a match for their rivals in the opening exchanges as the backline of Jessie Lehane, Lauren Cavanagh, Sharon Tansey and Kate Caldwell dominated with hard pressing and high energy which unnerved the home side.

The side continued to build momentum playing a neat brand of passing football which yielded a fortuitous opening goal of the game as Catriona McGilp narrowly squeezed the ball past the Shankill keeper.

Cabinteely established themselves well in midfield as Resa Dunne, Rachel Mulvaney, Cata Parga and Rachel Keyes were a tactic borne of experience against the opposition.

That soon paid dividends as Katrina Moore played McGilp through on goal doubling, Cabo’s lead.

Moore drove into space and converted the sides third goal of the game from 15 yards out just before half time.

With Shankill holding the majority of possession. Cabo were confined to quick counter attacks in the second half - determined to lay down a marker, substitute Jenny Smith hit the crossbar, however, McGilp volleyed home the rebound from close range

to complete her hat trick.

Substitutes Gill Douglas and Jess Flemming created a string of stellar passes paving the way for Cabo’s fifth. Substitute Jojo Andrews made her presence know immediately as she steered home a perfectly timed cross from Moore. Soon after a cross from Dunne paved the way for Cabo’s sixth as Moore calmly slotted the ball past the keeper.

Shankill began to press late in the second half but couldn’t capitalise as sub Orla Haskins closed down

every opportunity. They were subject to nothing more than long range efforts.

With 10 minutes remaining Shankill were awarded with a controversial penalty. Megan Cullen took the shot from the spot but couldn’t beat the Cabo keeper who flew to her right to make a quality save.

In spite of Cabo’s best efforts Shankill’s Cullen grabbed a consolation goal against the run of play leaving the score at 6-1 as the full time whistle blew.

FOOTBALL: BALLINTEER AND NAOMH OLAF STILL IN DANGER IN AFL1

Kilmacud keep up the chase on St Vincent’s with win over Syl’s AFL DIVISION ONE ROUND-UP  sport@dublingazette.com

KILMACUD Crokes continue to lead the chasing pack in AFL Division One after they recorded a comprehensive 4-14 to 3-9 triumph at the expense of St Sylvester’s at Silver Park.

Both sides had been in action the previous Friday – against Ballinteer St John’s and Ballymun respectively – meaning they had an extended period to prepare for the challenge that lay ahead.

Cian O’Connor has been in fine form for Crokes throughout the present campaign and he finished the night with an impressive haul of 1-5 to his name.

While Syls played with the same attacking edge that helped to overcome the challenge of Ballymun, their Stillorgan counterparts continued to pick off scores as the play developed.

Courtesy of additional three-pointers from Mark Vaughan, dual player Bill O’Carroll and teenage star Jonathan Quinlan, Crokes claimed their eighth

league win of 2018 in clinical style.

They are two points adrift of ST Vincent’s with just four matches remaining, but third-place Ballyboden St Enda’s are also expected to have a considerable say in the direction of the Division One trophy.

On a bright summer evening at Páirc Uí Murchú, Anthony Rainbow’s charges were commanding 3-17 to 0-13 victors over St Oliver Plunkett’s/Eoghan Ruadh.

Ahead of their visit to Somerton Park on Saturday week for a night-time encounter with Castleknock, ‘Boden find themselves a single point behind defending champions Crokes.

Na Fianna returned to winning ways at home to Ballinteer St John’s - which consequently helps them to remain in fourth spot.

Michael Deegan and Sky Blues underage star James Doran found the net for the Glasnevin side - who were searching for their first triumph in four outings.

Goals from David Devereux and Aodhán Clabby offered hope to their oppo-

nents, but Na Fianna eventually finished with seven points to spare (2-19 to 2-12).

Naomh Olaf were beaten by leaders Vincent’s 0-17 to 2-8 in Pairc ui Bhriain to fall to their sixth loss in a row since in what is their first season back in the top tier.

Points from Adam Baxter, Enda Varley and Tomás Quinn allowed Vins to create early breathing space, before Dublin U20 attacker Tom Keane forced

Olaf’s into the reckoning with a welltaken goal.

Though they led by the bare minimum at the break, Vins remained in the ascendancy after the restart thanks to strong scoring contributions from Varley, Cian O’Brien and Adam Giblin.

However, with Dublin senior panellist David Byrne driving them forward, Olaf’s secured their second goal of the proceedings it set up the final stages nicely but Vincent’s prevailed.

BALLINTEER St John’s remain in a great shape in AHL Division 2 following a walkover they received from Parnell’s last weekend.

They sit in second place in the division but with a game in hand on leaders Whitehall Colmcilles and third place Naomh Fionnbarra with the league entering a vital phase.

They face Raheny in midweek before what looks set to be a crucial game with St Oliver Plunkett’s/Eoghan Ruadh - still in the mix in fourth place - on August 11 in Marlay Park.
