‘Cool Phibsboro’ PHIBSBOROUGH in Dublin has been named one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world by Time Out magazine. The magazine cites the revival of its dilapidated Victorian buildings as one of the reasons for it being a must go spot for tourists. Time Out ranked the village in 27th place- ahead of neighbourhoods in San Francisco. Montreal, Shanghai and Boston. The magazine’s editors say Phibsborough has become “more bustling than ever� since the Luas Cross City line opened.

THE Talbot Hotel Stillorgan had a very special guest recently when Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood dropped in to unveil a sculpture. Crowds gathered outside the hotel to witness the unveiling of an 11-foot bronze sculpture of famed Dublin artist, Sir William Orpen, who counts Ronnie as an avid fan and collector of Orpen’s work. The ceremony was also attended by sculptor Rowan Gillespie, who was

commissioned by the Stillorgan Chamber of Commerce to create the striking piece of art. Ironically, it was Orpen himself who predicted this honorary sculpture - one of the artist’s famous tonguein-cheek sketches, entitled ‘A Dream’, sees him standing atop a plinth with crowds of people below grasping to touch the man himself. The sketch bears the caption “I imagine that Dublin has VHHQ ÂżW WR KRQRXU PH´ D

The largest increases were in the Spanish, Romanian and Brazilian populations. The Spanish population increased by 78% from 6,794 to 12,112 people between 2011 and 2016. This was the biggest percentage increase of the QDWLRQDOLWLHV SURÂżOHG Romanian nationals increased by 69% from 17,304 to 29,186 people during the same period and represented the largest increase in population size.

In city living overall, 72% of Brazilians and Italians lived in cities and suburbs while 50% of UK nationals lived in rural Ireland including rural towns.

After 12 years, the St Teresa’s plan is unveiled By Jake Maxwell GOOD things come to those who wait ... but for locals around St Teresa’s Gardens 12 years is a long time to wait. The long-awaited rejuvenation blueprint for the area has been launched with plans for 54 social housing units initially. In total, there are plans for 1,100 homes in apartment blocks up to 20 storeys high with half being social and DŕľľRUGDEOH However, the project has taken 12 years so far with delays including decontamination of ODQGV IURP D IRUPHU ÂżUHZRUNV factory on the south city site. Speaking at the launch Sinn FĂŠin local councillor CrĂ­ona NĂ­ DhĂĄlaigh said there had been “despairâ€? among the local community at the delays. $OWKRXJK WHQGHUV IRU WKH ÂżUVW 54 units have not yet been announced, executive manager with Dublin City Council Anthony Flynn said all the obstacles have nearly been overcome in what had been a “very, very long roadâ€?. It is hoped to start construction in October and it will take nearly two years to build the 54 units. Mr Flynn said there was enough land in St Teresa’s and other council land for around 550 homes. The remainder of the lands

included in the masterplan - the Player Mils and Bailey/Gibson site - would provide another 550. They are privately owned and the loans are with NAMA. He said that it “made senseâ€? for the landowners to come together as part of the masterplan but that any private development would have to comply ZLWK WKH VRFLDO DQG DŕľľRUGDEOH requirements. Minister of State for Housing Damien English TD said he understood the local community’s frustration but said he sensed there is still belief in the threeyear plan. He said the Government is providing â‚Ź211 million for 1,000 homes through regeneration over the life of the Rebuilding Ireland programme. 7ZR \HDUV DJR WKH ÂżQDO EORFN RI Ă€DWV HDUPDUNHG IRU WKH ÂżUVW SKDVH RI UHJHQHUDWLRQ in St Teresa’s Gardens was demolished.

â‚Ź360k for Xmas trees DUBLIN City Council will spend â‚Ź360,000 on Christmas trees for the next four years. Previous tenders only covered the provision of Christmas trees on a year-to-year basis, so the council wants to set in place an arrangement until 2021, requiring approx 150 trees a year. Although that works out to around â‚Ź600 per tree, that would cover the growing, selecting, and delivery of the trees to points around the city.

The tender requires freshly cut trees to be delivered on a minimum of 10 dates through November each year. The council cannot provide exact dates and numbers/sizes of the trees to be delivered per GDWH DV LW LV QRW Âż[HG DW SUHVHQW DQG ZLOO QHHG WR EH FRQÂżUPHG with the successful tenderer. Although the number required is around 150, there was no guarantee that more might not be needed, the council said.

THE Tree Council of Ireland, supported by Tetra Pak, is calling on primary school children across Dublin to get involved in Tetra Pak Tree Day on October 4. The theme for this year’s campaign is “Be nature nice! or BĂ­ dĂłighiĂşil don dĂşlra!â€? Tetra Pak Tree Day gives children, teachers and parents the opportunity to put down the school books, get outdoors and connect directly with nature. The campaign also

encourages children to become more environmentally aware. The campaign’s mascot Sammy Squirrel will feature on Avonmore school milk cartons with seven simple messages on how to help the environment. As part of Tetra Pak Tree Day, up to 1,000 native tree saplings will be made available through the Tree Day website for primary school children to plant on their school grounds. There is also an opportunity for children and teachers

to win an iPad for their class. More details about the campaign including guided woodland walks, class lessons, videos, fun tree facts, activities and more can be found on www.treeday.ie . Each year Tetra Pak Tree Day places a focus on a GLŕľľHUHQW QDWLYH WUHH 7KLV year the spotlight is on the Guelder-rose, or Caor chon in Irish. The Guelder-rose is a small deciduous tree, sometimes reaching a height of four metres, that grows in dampish areas in hedges and small woods.

Nathusius’ Pipistrelle with ring (Photo Daniel Hargreaves) SOME OF OUR Irish bats have become the envy of their fellow chiropterans as they have been bedecked with silver rings and are rocking a new uber cool look! On the 2nd September 6 Nathusius’ Pipistrelles (Pipistrellus nathusii) – 3 males and 3 females were caught using a harp trap and acoustic lure in Killeshandra, Co. Cavan. All 6 were fitted with rings inscribed with the codes IRL0016 to IRL0021. We have 9 species of bats resident in Ireland. Up until the mid-90s there were only 7 species but then it was found that our Pipistrelle bat was actually 2 different species – and was split into Common Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) and Soprano Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus). Around the same time the first confirmed Irish breeding colony of Nathusius’ Pipistrelle (often referred to as P.nath for short by bat people) was discovered in May 1997 near Lough Neagh.

Nathusius’ Pipistrelle being ringed in Co. Cavan There is still little known about Nathusius’ Pipistrelles in Ireland and the UK and in recent years projects have been setup in both countries to gain a greater understanding of the ecology, current status and conservation threats for this species. Populations in Continental Europe can be highly migratory with some travelling distances of up to 1,900km between summer and winter roosts but there are also some countries where the species is present all year round. Recent studies in the UK using rings on bats have discovered that some of the UK population migrate as far as Latvia and Lithuania. It is still unclear if the Irish population of this bat is migratory or not. Hopefully the ringing of the some individuals will help to determine if this is the case or not. The project also hopes to establish a clearer picture of the population size and locations in Ireland to help with conservation efforts. It has been shown on the continent that wind turbines pose a significant threat to migrating bats.

Brian Quigley oy Keane has certainly been in the news a lot in the last few weeks. He’s probably had a higher PHGLD SUR¿OH than Leo Varadker. He’s certainly taken up more column inches and radio time than his manager Martin O’Neill, or the Irish team’s dismal loss to Wales in the Nations Cup and respectable draw away to Poland in a friendly. Roy is someone who polarises opinion. You either like him or you don’t. You either agree with him or

He doesn’t pull his punches; there’s no in-between. Perhaps that’s why he doesn’t come across well doing his ITV punditry, in my mind. He’s someone with something to say, and that doesn’t sit well with a station who would prefer if you didn’t say anything,
