Skerries Tidy Towns Launch Adopt-A-Patch The Skerries Tidy Towns committee are kicking off the new season with the relaunch of their ‘AdoptA-Patch scheme. The scheme was launched in association with the local group, County Council and Supervalu on Wednesday, 20th March last at Skerries Mills. This is the third year of this successful scheme whereby volunteers take charge of an open space, laneway or pedestrian area and keep it clean and litter free. The Skerries group are very appreciate of all the help they receive so that

River Valley Means Business In Tidy Towns A big drive is underway by River Valley Rathingle Residents Association to make a big impression in this year’s Tidy Towns competition. They have entered the National Spring Clean month, which takes place in April.

the scheme can operate smoothly: the County Council cooperate in providing bags and collecting full bags from convenient points around the town, with the local Supervalu acting

as the depot for new bags, gloves and so on as required by volunteers. The success of this scheme in Skerries has lead the Council to promote the idea countywide. Speaking to the County Leader about the scheme, the Tidy Towns group said: “We would like to

thank all our volunteers whose efforts have contributed greatly to Skerries’ attainments in the national tidy towns competition. We also want to say a big thanks to all who are continuing with their “patch” and we hope to welcome new v o l u n t e e r s this year.”

On 13th April, there will be a Litter Picking Day around the estate, with volunteers meeting at the Community Centre at 10am on the day. In fact, Swords Tidy Town volunteers will assist the River Valley group on the day. This partnership with Swords Tidy Towns is of great interest to the local Environmental Group and is expected to give them an extra impetus to move things forward. Joe Newman from the River Valley Rathingle Environmental Group told the County Leader, “Our aim is to get as many to participate as possible and for residents to take pride in their locality. We will also be entering the Tidy Estate competition and the Urban Village competition, so we will be in touch with local businesses in the shopping complex, in order to ensure the area is kept nice and tidy. We intend to start at the entrance to River Valley and go right through to the exit at Rathingle,” said Newman, who met with Des Becton, Chairperson of Swords Tidy Towns committee in River Valley last week, to discuss the best way forward for all concerned. Becton reiterated Newman’s call for everyone to get involved, He said, “If people want to do something specific in their own area, the Residents Association will encourage people to do what they can. Swords Tidy Towns will have various designated days to assist other areas of Swords during April, and the 13th is River Valley’s day,” said Becton.

Rush Sewage Issue Must Be Resolved By Jennifer McShane Local Councillor, Tom O’Leary (FG), has said that he is extremely disappointed that the County Council were delayed in getting the application regarding the connection of homes in Rush to the new wastewater treatment plant in Portrane underway, as raw sewage is being pumped into the sea in this area. He told the County Leader: “I asked the Council the status on this application because this is an urgent issue that must be resolved. As of now in Rush, has raw sewage currently being pumped into the sea. Understandably, this is of great concern the the local residents and the Community Council and we must get this resolved. Residents are very worried about the quality of the bathing water and its negative impact on the prospects of a blue flag for their beaches.” Chairman of Rush Community

Development committee, Charlie Monks told the County Leader, “We thought we were part of the new Donabate / Portrane sewage system. Suddenly, Rush is now looked upon as a separate entity. We were told five years ago that Lusk, Rush, Donabate and Portrane were part of one project and all the politicians agreed. Rush is divided into four sections, but they have not yet completed Phase One. The Council have applied for funding for Phase Two and we’re now campaigning to get the second phase done. The other phases are only at the planning stage,” he said. In the meantime, Rush, with a population of over 9,000 people, has most of it’s sewage being pumped out to sea, down by the harbour. “This is an absolute disgrace, seeing as the new treatment Donabate [ Portrane plant is now up and running. They’re talking about spending €23 million on a neighbouring town for future expansion of it’d sewage system. Why can’t they use their resources here, where it’s urgently needed,” he concluded.

Councillor Ciaran Byrne (Lab), has warmly welcomed the decision of the County Council to liaise with the local Gardai and introduce a new covert patrolling system to tackle the widespread issue of anti-social behaviour in the North County. “I had asked that the Council liaise with the Gardai to address the problem of antisocial behaviour which is adversely affecting families and communities across the county, with a view to an effective resolution to this ongoing problem, and was delighted to

hear their interesting and positive response to this matter,” Byrne told the County Leader. “The County Council and the Gardaí will be working together consistently to address the issue of anti-social behaviour within local communities, and this new covert patrolling system should help matters further. Covert Cllr. Byrne patrolling of the affected areas around the North County will be introduced at appropriate times, so hopefully this will see the problem reduced.”

“Rather than focusing on one particular area, unfortunately we see anti-social behaviour affect many of our communities and local residents are concerned,” he continued. “We don’t want the problem to grow. Reports tell us that the main incidents occur around open, public areas so the gardai will be making a special effort to patrol these areas and monitor the situation.” Byrne says that this latest development is a very positive one and is another step towards ensuring our towns are safe from this behaviour. “This is a positive response to a negative issue, and hopefully things will go forward from here,” he concluded.

The tour finishes on March 27th. With such accolades, there is no doubt that this is not the last we will hear about this Swords native.

Laminate Flooring You could be forgiven for thinking that laminate flooring only comes in one style, looking like wood, however, when you consider how many variations of tree there are, plus the fact that

laminated floors can be coloured, tinted, finished in varying textures, then the choices of laminate flooring are much more varied. Laminate flooring can be tinted or coloured which is ideal for say, the conservatory, if one should wish to have green or a lighter shade of blue with a textured or crystal finish this would utilise the

Walls The first thing people look at when entering a home is the point most obvious to eye level, this would be of course, the walls. Playing perhaps the biggest part in any home to accentuate warmth or to cool the internal temperature from accentuating brightness, to portraying a love of nature and the wilderness, the four walls of our humble abodes are providing the most infinite of possibilities for decorative endeavours.

Carpets Over the years DIY has entered into the realm as near to convenience as one can get; Laminate flooring has proven popular when desiring the wood effect which is both a alternative cheaper to hardwood and easier to assemble. The finished effect can be highly aesthetic but high heels are still a no no. Carpets are another set of rules altogether, limitless in choice of colour and style, thickness and patterns, carpeting remains the ever traditional flooring option. There’s something quite fulfilling about watching the kids play with their toy cars exploiting the pattern of the carpet to imaginative effect. The great aspect that remains

Pastel Easter Fashion With Easter just on our doorstep, it’s a sure sign that Spring is here at last. Easter is about two kinds of sweet treats – one is delicious to eat and the other is fabulous to wear! What better time to embrace ‘sweet like candy’ pastels than during the year’s chocolate holiday season, with delectable shades of candy floss pinks, baby blues, mellow yellows and pretty peaches. We can happily confine those darker shades to the back of the wardrobe and step out in flattering, soft coloured shades perfect for the Spring/Summer season. Take this candy pink peplum dress (pictured). The style and colour are very on trend and perfect for Easter. The dress does all the talking with this so keep the accessorises minimal and opt for a natural and soft beauty luck to set it all off.

Community Parking Issue Needs To Be Addressed Swords councillor, Darragh Butler (FF), has said that the community or communal parking on a local estate is not working and that there needs to be dedicated spaces added for the residents there. The area in question is Cedar Avenue in Ridgewood, Swords where a system of ‘community parking’ is in place where residents

1997. This experience became the blueprint for the Jack & Jill model of home nursing care which supports 300 children and their families in Ireland today and has helped 1,600 families since 1997, including 400 in Dublin. The service includes funding, home visits, advice, information, lobbying and bereavement support. Jack & Jill requires €2.7 million per annum to operate this service and, with less than 20 per cent coming from the State, the Foundation raises the money it needs through mobile phone and cash donations from the public, corporate partners and regular fundraisers, such as this one.

share undesignated parking spaces. Butler told the County Leader: “The current system doesn’t work and leads to unnecessary arguments between neighbours and abuse.” He asked for an extra space of two to be cut into the grass verge and said it seemed like a relatively simple solution to the ongoing problem. But the local

authority said the area in question was still in private hands and was out of its control. They explained: “The lands at Cedar Avenue are private lands and have not been taken in charge to date, although it is understood that the process is underway. Because the land remains private, the Council is not at present in a position to consider the request for additional car park spaces to be added.” Butler said that although this was a disappointing response, he hoped the matter could be dealt with again in the coming weeks.

Jessica Corr - Lusk Our next contestant hoping to take home this year’s coveted Dublin Rose of Tralee title is the lovely Jessica Corr from Lusk. This will be the 22 year old’s first time entering the competition, but she has a bit of a helping hand with the whole process as her cousin is former Dublin Rose participant Amiee Doyle. “That was actually one of the factors that made me want to enter myself, seeing how much Aimee enjoyed it. It’s great to be able to talk to someone who knows the ins and outs of the whole thing too,” she told the County Leader. Jessica attended Milverton primary school before going on to attend Skerries Community College. She says she’s an extremely organised person and loves planning things (she was very aptly on the Debs committee in secondary s c h o o l ) . “Amiee is always giving out to m e

for planning so far ahead in advance,” she says, laughing. “But I just can’t help it!” Jessica is being sponsored this year by Home Night Club in Balbriggan. “I used to work there, so the guys very kindly agreed so sponsor me, which was fantastic.” When it came to thinking of a career choice, she says she knew she wanted to build a career, but for a while, wasn’t sure in what industry. “I knew that college wasn’t for me, but I wanted to have something decent behind me and knew I wanted it to be something creative.” She says she saw an ad published in the North County Leader asking for hairdressers and decided to go along and give it a try. Nearly four years later, she is now almost a fully qualified professional hairdresser and hasn’t looked back. “I just love my job. I work in a hairdressers in Portmarnock and everyone there is so lovely and supportive. It’s a fantastic place to work.” The Lusk lady is extremely close to her family; dad Martin, mother Josephine and her younger sister Samantha. She also wants to give a special mention to her nana Josie, who she say is the most important person in the world to her. “I knew my nana would be thrilled when she found out I was entering. We’re extremely close, I stay with her a lot so I wanted to mention her in particular.” Though her job keeps her very busy, in her spare time she returns to her big passion in life: horse riding. She even has her own horse, who she fondly called Gizmo. “I love animals, especially horses,” she continues. “I’ve been riding horses for around 15 years now. I had originally thought I would like to be a vet, but doing work experience changed all that! I love animals, but just wouldn’t be able to operate on them.” She describes herself as a people person and is loving her Rose experience so far. “It’s something so different for me, but I always knew I wanted to be involved. I remember being in Tralee when I was very young and meeting one of the Roses and I’ve never forgotten it. It also gives me the chance to meet lots of fantastic people.” She says it would mean the world to her to win, but for now she’s just enjoying whole process. “I’m having the best time so far and I’m most definitely a glass is half full type of person, so no matter what, it’s going to be a positive experience for me, and a lot of fun too!”
