Beaches Must Be Prioritised

The news that two beaches in the North County, out of a total of three in Dublin and six nationwide, have failed to meet strict EU water quality standards, will be seen as a major blow to tourism in the region.

12th April 2016 • Volume 23, Issue 12 • Leader House, North Street, Swords, Co. Dublin.

Rush South Beach and Loughshinny Beach have been classified as ‘Poor • Tel: 01 8•400•200 • info@northcountyleader.ie • www.northcountyleader.ie Status’ and comes at a time when Fingal County Council have put in sterling work recently to promote tourism in the county. Festivals such as Flavours of Fingal and the excellent Oktoberfest at Swords Castle, as well as the recent St Patrick’s Day parades across the county, have brought visitors flocking to the North County.

This news could not come at a more inopportune time, and the local authority are anxious to take immediate action to tackle this problem.

Local councillors, JP Browne (FG), Barry Martin (PBP) and Brian Dennehy (FF) are all very concerned about the water quality problems in the area. Cllr. Browne JP Browne said, “Obviously it is very disappointing to hear the news of the poor water quality, not just for Rush and Loughshinny, but for the whole of the North County.

I grew up beside the sea and am fully aware of how much a clean beach means to a community. Fingal County Council have been working hard to increase tourism within the county and have held, and supported, many local events.”

Beaches Must Be Prioritised Continued from page 1 for Irish Water to acquire the necessary lands using compulsory purchase orders. This significant investment will provide a new system to collect and transfer wastewater from existing outfalls and overflows to the foreshore and onwards to the new wastewater treatment plant at Portrane. This investment will significantly improve the bathing water quality at South Beach in Rush.

To progress this essential project, Irish Water has been liaising closely with residents in the area to acquire wayleaves and land for the construction of the infrastructure needed. As this scheme is vital to ensure that wastewater is collected and transferred to the new wastewater treatment plant in Portrane, Irish Water will now acquire some of the land need to carry out this work using compulsory purchase

and stopped alongside the Millbank in summer 2012 continued as originally planned. The following three years that the scheme was left parked are now the source of the beaches in Rush being deemed unsuitable for bathing.”

“The tendering process and accessing the way-leaves required for the route are both currently at a critical stage to restart the project if commencement in quarter three of this year as planned is to happen. I am calling on Fingal County Council to prioritise the project and commence daily, if not weekly contact with Irish Water to keep the pressure on the project till completion and avoid any potential needless delays.” “The residents of Rush have already been badly let down with the three year delay on the project commencing and at a minimum, all resources available to restart and complete the project as soon as possible need to be utilised with immediate effect,” he concluded.

“A contract to begin the project in Rush which involves constructing extensive pipelines and new pumping stations, is expected to be awarded shortly with work commencing in quarter three of this year.

Construction on the project is expected to take two years to complete,” the statement concluded.

Cllr Brian Dennehy (FF) said, “Annoyingly, the residents of Rush along with our visitors to the town will have to endure a second year where our beaches are closed off for bathing during the summer season.

Sadly where the beaches are usually a huge attraction and popular amenity for residents and visitors alike, the usage of the beaches like last year, I have no doubt will again drop off dramatically.

The current intolerable situation was totally preventable had the Rush sewage network scheme, of which phase one has already been completed

Every Student Will Be Supported It is a parent’s worst nightmare to think that their child could be the subject of any form of abuse or bullying. When they leave the house and go to school, parents expect their children to be given care and support by their teachers and hope they don’t run into any issues with their peers.

If their child is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender these fears are all the more prevalent.

In January, GLEN (the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network) published

guidelines, with the backing of the Department of Education and Skills, which provides information for schools on how to support LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) students in second level education.

Within them, schools and teachers are encouraged to foster a more inclusive attitude towards LGBT youth, particularly transgender youth.

The guidelines provide information on how to handle bullying, that is based around the child’s sexual orientation and many other things necessary to fully support the needs of LGBT students.

These guidelines will be received by all of the secondary schools in Ireland over the coming week in the form of a booklet. The County Leader, will be following up with all of the secondary schools in the local area to find out their views and any difficulties that might arise with the implementation of these guidelines.

Speaking to the County Leader, Sandra Irwin Gowran, Director of

Education Policies for GLEN explained; “LGBT people who experience bullying in school have a much higher risk of self harm, suicidality, anxiety, depression and alcohol abuse. On the other hand we know that where teachers demonstrate their support to the student, there are higher attendance levels, students have a great sense of belonging and achieve more in school so its very clear what the impact of positive environments are.”

“There are already codes of practice in place with the department’s anti bullying procedures that schools will already be aware of, these guidelines are just to support schools in implementing those procedures when it comes to LGBT youth. It’s so important that schools try to implement the guidelines. Its very clear from research that, while improvements have been seen, we still have a long way to go before young LGBT people feel that they belong in schools and that they will be supported if they choose to come out,” she said.

She concluded by saying; “The guidelines have been drawn up with the backing of the Department of Education, under the department’s action plan on bullying.

The department’s logo is on it with the same prominence as GLEN’s logo along with other stake holders in education, like the teachers union etc.”

The marriage referendum outcome altered dramatically what it means to ‘grow up gay’ across the country. Many young people now feel more confident to come out than ever before.

Aoife Walsh, Vice Principal of Malahide Community School, spoke to us about how important it is for LGBT young people to feel included and be supported in school. She said; “We have been involved in Stand Up week for about 5 years now. Our programme varies from year to year but always involves Anti Bullying classes aimed to educate students around their use of language and behaviours which may make other students uncomfortable.

We discuss why LGBT students may feel uncomfortable in school and why they might feel different or unaccepted.

We also ask students do they feel that it is ok to be LGBT in school.”

She went on to say; “It can be very powerful for young people who may

b e struggling with issues around their sexuality to see their classmates declare that they would be accepting and supportive of LGBT students if they came out in school.”

‘BeLonGTo’ are a youth organisation for LGBT young people aged between the ages of 14 and 23, who provide critical support services such as peer support, advocacy, schools outreach and suicide and harm prevention. They are also the brains behind ‘Stand Up’ which is an annual week long event for schools that promotes positive self image for LGBT young people and provides awareness of issues and education

transphobic bullying in our schools, and at home and since last year we have seen an increase in people coming to our offices to seek support from us.”

“We are trying to get rid of the stigma that still exists through education, support and advocacy.

May called ‘Belong To The Future’ which will raise awareness of these issues and also help raise the funds needed for ‘BeLonGTo’ to meet the ever increasing demands for their services. There will be a number of fund-raising plans in the week

Some of the guidelines included in the ‘Being LGBT In School, A Resource for Post-Primary Schools to Prevent Homophobic and Transphobic Bullying and Support LGBT Students’ guidelines include:

How Sould The School Respond Should A Young Person Come Out? • Most young people come out to a friend or another trusted individual before coming out to family.

Sometimes this trusted individual is a teacher or a Guidance Counsellor.

All staff members need to be prepared for the possibility of a student coming out and the following points will support preparations: • Schools should communicate a message to all students that diversity is welcomed and respected. LGBT young people and other minority groups should be clear that they are valued, and that the school leadership will ensure their safety and support. It is critical that a young LGBT person discovering their sexual orientation or gender identity feels supported and valued, regardless of whether or not they come out.

• Only if school authorities have legitimate cause for concern for the student’s safety should engagement with the student’s parents/ guardians be made without consulting the student. Often a young person experiences intense fear of rejection by his/her family and consequently finds it easier to come out to others first. A positive experience of coming out to others, where they are met with acceptance, is critical to safeguarding the young person’s mental health and wellbeing; it can also lessen the young person’s fear of disclosing to his/her family and friends (Mayock et al, 2009). about all aspects of the LGBT community.

Speaking to the County Leader, Moninne Griffith, Executive Director of ‘BeLonGTo’ Youth Services said; “What we do in ‘BeLonGTo’ is provide support for the young LGBT people.

What we know is that there are still issues around homophobic and

Good practice aimed at supporting reporting of bullying by vulnerable students • Use a reporting form whereby students are given the opportunity to identify the type of bullying, e.g. bullying based on identity, such as homophobic or transphobic bullying.

• Some schools have created a dedicated school email address through which students or parents/ guardians can report bullying. Such email accounts require regular monitoring to ensure any messages are reponded to promptly.

• Ensure that there is a regular space / time provided for students to voice concerns about bullying, etc. This space can be created during tutor time for example. Students will come to expect this and rely on it as an opportunity to report bullying behaviour.

• Support the formation of a buddy system in the school, or ‘safe space’, where students are encouraged to support other students.

• Carry out regular anonymous data collection amongst students to assess their experience in relation to bullying behaviour.

Provide an opportunity for students to state their experience of how LGBT people and issues are treated in the school.

We currently have a number of schools on board with our ‘Stand Up’ programme which addresses these issues but we need more. In a nutshell, we need the support from people to turn the Ireland they voted for in May last year into a reality,” she added.

‘BeLonGTo’ are going to be running an initiative in

running up to the 22nd of May and there will be a flagship event held on the day. More information on this can be found on their website, along with links to support sites and information on all of the services they provide and how and where to contact them www.belongto.org

which children are first taught to say the words “cystic fibrosis”. The launch of the campaign was eagerly and actively supported by local TD’s, Darragh O’Brien (FF) and Louise O’Reilly (SF).

On Friday 15th April, volunteers will be selling purple roses and other 65 Roses memorabilia in the Millfield Shopping Centre, Balbriggan to raise much needed funds for cystic fibrosis services.

The aim is to raise €65,000 nationally which will go towards patient support grants for transplant assessment, fertility treatment and counselling, as well as research and new healthcare facilities.

Speaking to the County Leader about the awareness campaign, Philip Watt, Chief Executive, Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, highlighted positive developments that have taken place in recent years but that progress needs to be maintained; “Despite coming from a very low base, there has been much progress in improving cystic

fibrosis care in Ireland over the past three years, in terms of the development of dedicated cystic fibrosis health facilities, the lung transplant programme at the Mater Hospital in Dublin and new ground-breaking drugs.”

Speaking to the County Leader, Local Fianna Fail TD Darragh O’Brien said; “Cystic Fibrosis Ireland is a charity I am proud to support. In recent years there have been positive developments in providing care for cystic fibrosis sufferers in Ireland but this progress needs to be maintained. Thanks to the work by organisations like Cystic Fibrosis Ireland, patients with CF can now look forward with real hope as facilities are improved and new ground breaking drugs are being developed.”

He went on to say; “The prognosis for people with cystic fibrosis can be improved further with continued investment and support. The ’65 Roses’ day initiative on April 15th is a great idea which I wholeheartedly endorse and I encourage people to buy a purple rose where they see them being sold around the country or to donate in whatever way they can.” Also speaking to the County Leader, Louise O’Reilly, Sinn Fein TD said; “I support Cystic Fibrosis awareness week. For too long those with cystic fibrosis have been failed by the health policies of our previous governments. It is vital that they are supported by the next Government - which means that staffing shortages in facilities for people with Cystic Fibrosis are tackled as well as making sure people with Cystic Fibrosis have access to new ground-breaking drugs.”

National Spring Clean is Ireland’s most popular, well recognised and successful anti-litter initiative.

Taking place during the whole month of April and now in its 17th year, the campaign encourages every sector of society to actively participate and take responsibility for litter, by actually conducting clean ups in their own local environment.

National Spring Clean traditionally takes place throughout the month of April and has been operated by An Taisce since 1999 in partnership with the Department of Environment, Heritage & Local Government and Local Authorities.

It is sponsored by the Wrigley Company Ltd. and Repak Ltd. The size and scale of National Spring Clean has grown steadily and significantly over the years.In 1999,

1,732 clean-up events were registered with An Taisce and an estimated 155,000 people took part in these events. By 2015 these numbers had risen to 5199 events with over 519,000 people participating.

Last year (2015), an estimated 500 tonnes of litter was collected of which 35 per cent was recycled. In the

current era of climate change the more we recycle, the more we reduce our carbon emissions, so by taking part in National Spring Clean we are making a difference.

The effort and enthusiasm of the National Spring Clean volunteers has ensured the campaign’s real triumph and success.

As National Spring Clean has become a fixed date on the school and community calendar, this partnership can hopefully look forward to an even greater success for many years to come.

Taking part in the National Spring Clean is very straight forward. Organise for a clean up of your local area, to take place any time during April, and register your event online, by phone, fax or post. Once you have registered you will receive a FREE cleanup kit from An Taisce.

The clean up kit contains valuable tips on how to hold a successful clean-up event, a poster to advertise your event, ideas on how to make your event different and lots more useful

information. The pack also includes plastic bags in which to collect your litter and recyclable material, some tabards to keep your clothes clean and some gloves to keep your hands safe and clean.

Because National Spring Clean encourages recycling, a number of colour coded bags are provided for collection of litter that can be recycled. Recycling helps reduce the production of greenhouse gases and therefore climate change. Once you have a firm date for your event you should contact your Local A u t h o r i t y ’ s Environmental Officer.

Your council will arrange with you the details for free rubbish disposal after your clean-up.

Recycling is an important and integral part of National Spring Clean. Last year we achieved 35 per cent recycle rate of all materials collected during clean-ups.

The percentage of total waste recycled by the National Spring Clean is perhaps more impressive taking into account that only bottles and cans are recycled from the waste collected during clean-up events. Other waste materials collected during clean-ups are unfortunately unsuitable for recycling due to degradation. To make recycling easier for groups there are colour coded bags to put the different recyclable materials you collect into – these bags are provided as part of the free National Spring Clean kit provided to all groups who register.

It cannot be emphasised enough just how crucial it is to ensure your tyres are roadworthy for your journeys.

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has revealed that vehicle factors played a role in one in eight (101) fatal collisions in the period 2008 to 2012. In the analysis

by RSA, defective tyres were identified as the largest single ‘vehicle factor’ involved, representing almost two thirds (64 per cent) or 66 of all vehicle factors identified.

A total of 111 people lost their lives and 30 were seriously injured in collisions where vehicle defects were a contributory factor. 71 people were killed and 19 were seriously injured in a collision where a vehicle had 17-24 year old drivers accounted for almost half (47 per cent) of fatal collisions involving defective, worn or else over or under-inflated tyres.

This was revealed at the launch of a landmark new report ‘Pre-Crash Report on Vehicle Factors in Fatal Collisions’, the first of its kind in Ireland, which analysed An Garda Síochána Forensic Collision Investigation reports in order to identify the main contributory factors in collisions on Irish roads.

In the damning report, the RSA has revealed that vehicle factors played a role in 1 in 8 (101) fatal collisions in the period 2008 to 2012. Defective tyres were the most significant factor, representing almost two thirds (64 per cent) or 66 of all vehicle factors identified. It is vitally important to make sure that both the tread and pressure of your tyres are in tiptop conditions at all times of the year. Local garages all over the North County will be able to provide you excellent service and offers to get those tyres up to scratch.

The main findings of the report are: Vehicle factors were a contributory factor in 12 per cent of all collisions. Of these tyres were the main contributory factor accounting for 8 per cent.

Of collisions where vehicle factors were noted, the condition of tyres accounted for almost two thirds (64.1 per cent) or 66 of collisions Defective tyres were more prevalent in single vehicle crashes (74.1 per cent) when compared to multiple vehicle crashes (57.6 per cent) Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Paschal Donohoe TD, said: “This report highlights just how important it is that every aspect of a vehicle, whether a car, truck, van or motorcycle, is in proper, roadworthy condition. None of us can predict what will happen when we use the roads – we may encounter other drivers behaving poorly, or weather conditions could be particularly bad. So I would urge people to take preventative measures by checking their vehicles regularly and ensure they are roadworthy,” he said.

The report also found that over half (51.5 percent) of the tyres on the 66 vehicles with defective tyres were excessively or dangerously worn and 10.6 percent were under-inflated, some dangerously low. 6 percent were a combination of excessively worn, under-inflated, the wrong size or fitted in the wrong direction.

The RSA and An Garda Síochána are advising roadusers to get their tyres checked regularly at Irish Tyre Industry Association (ITIA) and SIMI-registered garages and give themselves the peace of mind that their tyres are roadworthy.

Ms. Moyagh Murdock, Chief Executive of the Road Safety Authority said: “This report shows that tyres are the parts of your car that are most likely to put you at risk of a fatal collision if they’re not roadworthy.”

She added, “When purchasing tyres, invest in tyres that will last and I would urge people not to purchase used tyres, you just can’t be sure of their history and will cost you more in the long run.”

Garda Chief Superintendent, Aidan Reid said, “Tyres are the only part of your vehicle that keep you in contact with the road, so it is critical that they are in roadworthy condition at all times. Your safety, along with the safety of your passengers and other road users, could depend directly on the condition of your

vehicle’s tyres. If your tyres are worn, under or overinflated, the wrong size, or damaged in any way, they won’t respond properly in an emergency, or poor weather conditions. Our advice to road-users is to get your tyres checked regularly and ensure they are properly maintained or they could fail you when you need them most.”

To highlight the dangers of driving with defective tyres, the RSA has launched a powerful new TV, radio, cinema and online advertising campaign entitled ‘Grip’. The purpose of the ad is to make people aware that tyres are the one point of contact their car has with the road.

If your tyre has come into contact with a solid object, such as pothole and/or you have noticed uneven wear on your tyre, please go to a tyre specialist to have it examined. Your wheel and axles need to be fully aligned to ensure safe driving and that the car is handling correctly. You may need to replace the tyre. When deciding what new tyre to purchase, don’t make that decision purely on budget and make sure safety is paramount to your decision making. Car manufacturers recommend that replacement tyres be the same type as those originally fitted to maintain all-round driving performance. Part worn tyres have been previously used and you do not know the road history which that tyre has travelled. Please consider carefully whether you are getting real value for money. In some cases, you would have to buy three sets of part worn tyres in order to get the same life as a new set of tyres.

Hope Over Reality The non-binding Dutch referendum on the EUUkraine association agreement was defeated last Thursday by a substantial margin 69 per cent versus 31

per cent. The poll turn out at 32 per cent was just above the figure required to validate the referendum. So 19 per cent of those entitled to vote said ‘No’. This

Miracle Prayer Lisa, loving daughter of Tommy and Liz, late of 77 Hampton Cove, Balbriggan

Died 15.4.86 Aged 22 months I had a dream last night I thought it had come true.

God said “I made a big mistake, Lisa belongs with you”.

Then I put my arms around you, And I held you really tight, I told you how I cried for you everyday and everynight.

Then in my dream you turned and smiled, Just like you used to do.

You said “Your pain is over now, God gave me back to you”.

It was such a lovely dream, I wanted it to last.

But something had to wake me and my lovely dream has passed.

This morning when we woke up and saw the sun above, We softly said good morning, God bless Lisa with all our love.

Right away we thought of you and said a loving prayer, that God would bless you specially and keep you in his care.

We send a dove to Heaven, With a parcel on its wings, Be careful when you open it, it’s full of lovely things.

Inside are lots of kisses, Wrapped up in lots of hugs, To tell you that we miss you and send you all our love.

Little Angels in Heaven above, Give Lisa all our love.

Never forgotten and very sadly missed by Mammy, Daddy, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins

Sacred Heart of Jesus in the past I have asked you for many favours.

This time I ask for a very special one (mention request).

Take it dear Heart of Jesus and place it within your broken heart where your Father sees it.

Then in His merciful eyes it will become your favour and not mine.

Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and favour will be granted. Never known to fail.

presents major problems, not only for the Dutch Government, but also for the EU. The Government is faced with ignoring the result, holding another referendum or telling the EU “Sorry, hard luck”. The latter option will not go down well in Brussels or with the other Heads of Government.

Those who campaigned in opposition to the agreement are now planning to give support to the out campaign in B r i t a n .

Should the UK vote to opt out of the EU next June, real difficulties will confront the entire union. Any new agreement reached then between the UK and its former partners will be subject to ratification by the remaining 27 member states of the EU. On the performance of the Dutch last week one can see how difficult it will be to get any proposal agreed.

Euro sceptics say that last week’s result is the beginning of the end for the EU. That would seem somewhat simplistic and shows a lack of full appreciation of the interwoven relationships which exist not only among the EU members but also with its trading partners and satellite states.

Last week saw a General Election called in Macedonia. This is part of an EU/US brokered agreement to restore stability to a state which is in political crisis as it struggles with ethnic unrest. The opposition Social Democrats say they will not take part in the June 5th poll. They have followed an absentionist policy since the last election in 2014.

They claim that that poll was rigged and that their candidates were intimidated. They

By Cathal Boland

also claim that Government undertook widespread undercover illegal surveillance of not only opposition figures, but members of the Government party along with tracking ambassadors and journalists in the years prior to the ‘14 election.

There is continuous on going tension between the Albanian minority who represent about a quarter of the 2m population and the security forces.

The EU considers Macedonia as strategically important in the management of the migrant crisis, as it acts as a buffer between Greece and the more prosperous member states.

The EU Parliament recently passed a resolution calling on the speedy integration of the country into full membership of the union. How those central to policy direction of the EU see a country which the EU Commission reports as “backsliding in the areas of democracy, rule of law, media freedom, electoral reforms and financial discipline.” as a suitable candidate for full membership perhaps explains the Dutch Referendum result.
