TYRRELLSTOWN - LOCAL UPDATE

A brief note on some local issues from your Labour Party representative, Cllr Michael O’Donovan:-


  • Sports Facilities: Fingal County Council plans to build an all-weather combined basketball and soccer pitch on the open space at The Park. Plans are on view in the Council offices, or contact Cllr Michael if you want details.

  • Schools: Great work is being done in the local primary schools under very difficult conditions. The Minister has still not provided modern permanent buildings for our young people. Labour is continuing to press for fully equipped new schools with community facilities and sports fields attached. This service is not a privilege – it’s a basic right.

  • Allotments: If you fancy a spot of vegetable gardening, the good news is that the Council is to provide over 350 allotments at Powerstown, quite close to the Educate Together site. Details from Fingal Parks Department or your local councillor.

  • Mulhuddart Bridge: The old bridge has to be dismantled for safety reasons, and it will be replaced by a modern design which will have safe footpaths and cycle lanes. I have asked our Parks Department to use the stone from the old bridge to make an artistic feature in the valley.

  • Labour – Working for the Community:
    Your local Labour Party representatives are Joan Burton T.D. and Cllr Michael O’Donovan.
    Joan can be contacted at 6184006.
    Michael can be contacted at 087-2207798 or e-mail on michael.odonovan@fingalcoco.ie.
