There is very good news for sports clubs in Rush,with the news that the County Council are proposingto develop an all-weather sports facility at StCatherine’s Park in Rush. These works are intendedto meet the increasing needs of local GAA and soccerclubs and to enhance the capacity of the ActiveRecreational Hub at this location.

Local councillor, Brian Dennehy (FF) was delightedthat Rush was chosen for this all-weather facilityand he feels that it will make a significant differenceto the standard of sport in the area. Dennehy, whois associated with both St Maur’s GAA club andRush Athletic FC, told the County Leader, “I am theChairperson of the St Maur’s Developmentcommittee and we were actually going about theprocess of building our own facility. In late 2014,Rush Athletic FC put in for planning permission fortheir own small all-weather facility to be located atthe back of their clubhouse. The planning permis-sion was turned down because of an archaeologicalfind there,” he said.Copying the Bremore initiative in Balbriggan, whichsaw local GAA club, O’Dwyer’s and Balbriggan FCcoming together to share a state of the art all-weatherpitch, Dennehy approached both St Maur’s GAA club

and Rush Athletic FC to try and replicate this verysuccessful model. This facility will be available to allclubs in Rush, not just Rush Athletic and St Maur’s.“Both clubs agreed and we set up a joint committeeand we approached the local authority, who agreedto champion the cause, by approaching the NationalLottery, similar to Bremore.”From the GAA point of view, this new all-weatherfacility will act as a training facility, with adult compet-itive matches being played at their own pitches.However it can be used for juvenile GAA matches. Itis 70 metres in width and will be used mainly inwinter by St Maur’s, when training is very difficult attheir own pitches,” he said.There will be car parking spaces for 64 cars, a bus,adult training facility, dressing rooms and showerfacilities. It will be located in St Catherine’s Park, andthe car parking will remove issues residents wouldhave regarding cars being parked in the estate.For the GAA club, it will be primarily a training facility,which will alleviate the problem of teams travellinglong distances to hire all-weather training facilities atother clubs, which is not sustainable, particularly forchildren. Rush is the only town in the North Countyregion without an all weather pitch. It also meansthat neither St Maur’s nor Rush Athletic are beingsaddled with huge debt as both clubs will come

together to share thecosts, as they willmanage it for the CountyCouncil.The cost is expected tobe about €1.3 millionwhich will hopefullycome from the lottery,via the local authority.The GAA and the FAI areboth behind this project.This has now gone topublic consultation andthe hope is that peoplewill be supportive of it,particularly as parkingwill not be an issue.Balbriggan FC went from 17 teams to 37 teams sinceBremore was opened, such is the success of thisfacility and the hope is that Rush will experiencesimilar growth and success. Indeed, Rush Athleticwere promoted this season and many put that downto the training they did prior to the start of theseason, up in Bremore.“Fingal County Council have been very supportive ofthis initiative and it can only auger very well for clubsin Rush,” concluded Dennehy.

The decision of the Government toappeal the recent High Court rulingwhich declared Moore Street a 1916battlefield site to the SupremeCourt, has been widely criticised bythe 1916 Relatives’ Group. It hasalso been criticised by the solicitorfirm working on their behalf,Swords based company, HennessyPerrozzi Solicitors.Earlier this year, a court action wassuccessfully taken by the 1916Relatives Group which sought toprevent the destruction of buildingson the street.In March, the High Court ruled thatMoore Street was a “battlefieldsite” and therefore was due protec-tion.In a 400-page judgement, JusticeMax Barrett said the “wealth ofevidence before the court” pointed

to historical significance in some ofthe other buildings. These includenumber 10, a portion of the partingwall at number 13 and number 18,as well as the building at 20-21Moore Street.Last year, the governmentstepped in to buy the site at14-17 Moore Street, thebuilding where the Rising’sleaders met and decided tosurrender.Minister for Arts, Heritageand the Gaeltacht HeatherHumphreys argued that other build-ings on the street, such as 13 and18 and 19, “are not historicallysignificant”.John Hennessy of HennessyPerrozzi Solicitors spoke to theCounty Leader after the decision toappeal was made. He said, My

clients are extremely disappointedand this disappointment is magni-fied because there were a numberof confusing signals emanatingfrom the Dail as to whether there

was going to be an appeal,but now sadly the Ministerhas decided to appeal it. Whilst it is a matter ulti-mately for the courts, myclients are taking someheart from the fact that theMinister, HeatherHumphreys seems to be

saying that she relates the appeal,not so much in the context of theMoore Street battlefield site, butrather the consequences of thedecision for future and settledmonument decisions. I have to sayagain that it is a matter for thecourts. “My clients completely

disagree with that interpretationand clearly this will be borne out inthe Supreme Court. However, theydo take heart in the fact that MooreStreet is recognised as a battlefieldsite and that something positive isgoing to happen to it.“In her statement, the Minister callsfor a forum and my clients arecautiously optimistic as regardsthat. They have asked me to pointout their concerns about the costimplications to the taxpayer, theirconcerns about the details of theforum and that this has been a 14year long arduous campaign tohave the battlefield site recognised,which was ultimately proved correctby Judge Max Barrett in a compre-hensive and considered detailedopinion and they think this was thecorrect decision,” he said.

Daa To Host NorthRunway PublicInformation EventDublin Airport Authority (daa) will host two publicinformation and consultation events over the comingweeks to provide an opportunity for local residentsand community groups to view at first-hand theplans for Dublin Airport’s new runway.The 3,110m North Runway was granted planningpermission in 2007 and will be located withinexisting daa lands. North Runway will facilitate thecreation of 31,200 new jobs over the next 20 years,as well as contributing an extra €2.2 billion to theIrish economy. The development of the runway willallow the airport to grow for the benefit of the Irisheconomy by supporting additional trade, tourismand foreign direct investment in Ireland. NorthRunway is also a highly significant strategic project

for the Fingal area, which has been a major benefi-ciary of the economic activity at Dublin Airport. Theairport currently supports about 97,000 jobs, one-quarter of which is held by local residents. daa has said previously that two ofthe existing runway planning condi-tions impact the airport’s ability toaccommodate future demand at keyoperational times. This would meanthat the airport would have less capacity with tworunways during these key periods than it currentlyhas with one. daa intends to enter a process to address these twoonerous conditions and to retain the operating flexi-bility that currently exists at Dublin Airport.As part of this process, daa will be preparing anEnvironmental ImpactStatement (EIS) and isinviting members of thepublic to identify mattersthat they would like daato take into considera-tion when developingthis EIS. The EIS will bethe focus of a furtherpublic engagementprocess, which is likelyto take place in theautumn.“Given the strategicimportance of thisproject to the countryand in particular toFingal, we would like toshare information aboutour plans with all inter-

ested parties, most especially our neighbours in thecommunity with whom we continue to work closely,”said Dublin Airport spokeswoman SiobhanO’Donnell while speaking to the County Leader.

She went on to say; “A team fromdaa, together with external expertswill be available to share informa-tion in relation to the North Runwayand to answer any questions that

attendees may have.” The public event will be inRoganstown Hotel & Country Club, Naul Road,Swords from 1pm - 8pm on Friday 24th June andfrom 10am - 6pm on Saturday 25th June.It will then be in The Grand Hotel, Malahide at 1pm -8pm on Friday 1st July and from 10am - 6pm onSaturday 2nd July.

He is undertaking this mammoth task for the SimonCommunity.

Then the following day, I willcomplete the journey to Carrickmacross, a further 19 miles.The next two days will include the return trip of 38 miles,returning to Balbriggan on 1st August,” said Aidan.This journey is effectively a mile for every year of Aidan’s lifeand he is urging people to support him in his endeavour,particularly businesses. “I’ve already got sponsorship,which is very encouraging and I’m looking for as muchsupport as possible for this great cause and I know that thepeople of Balbriggan will give me their full support for this

cause,” he said.A keen sportsman all his life, Aidan went to Rhodesia, nowZimbabwe in 1964, and spent 42 years there after a careerwhere he played GAA for his native Monaghan. He was alsoproficient at rugby, hurling, boxing and has a love of allsports. He keeps himself in peak physical condition and heis especially thankful to his neighbour and inspiration,Denise Sherlock, whom he describes as, “my erstwhiletrainer and motivator, who has been a great inspiration tome,” said Aidan.

Quinn Calls For Unity OnGreen Waste Charges

David Cameron’s political stroke tohold a referendum on the “In Out”question has proven to be a majorpolitical misjudgement. It is a disasternot only for himself but also for the EUand the UK. Across Europe Brexit is now acommon topic not justamongst the politicalactivist but it has caughtthe imagination of thosenot normally engaged inpolitical debate.Movements such as StopTTIP have benefited from thedebate as across the EU on thebenefits of membership and how theEU functions.Enda Kenny joined the Dutch PrimeMinister Mark Rutte in rejecting anyprospect of a referendum in either oftheir countries on the subject of

leaving the EU irrespective ofThursday’s outcome in the UK. OtherEuropean leaders are also expressingsimilar views. The very fact that thesuch comments are made reflects thenew uncertainty of the stability of the

Union.We made the point last week

that stay or leave, the resultwill change the Union.Clearly if the “Out” side winchange is certain. It maytake time to process but

relationships will alter. Evenif the decision is to remain the

concept of reform is ignitedacross Europe. Both Cameron’s people along withtheir Labour Party allies are calling forfurther reforms in these the last daysin the run into the vote. Labour is spliton the issue of “free movement” and

both parties aretalking aboutsecuring furtherconcessions fromBrussels. This referendumwas a bad miscal-culation,be it a winor lose result,it isalmost certain tosee the end ofDavid Cameron’sterm as PM. The

resulting leadership struggle couldsee the Conservatives split. This maybe good news for the Labour Party butthey also face their own problemswithin the party. The SNP aresignalling the prospect of unilateralnegotiations to retain Scotland’smembership of the EU in the event of aNo vote. Should that happen theeconomic management of the sixcounties would become extremelydifficult.

It can be easy to forgetthat we live in one of themost beautiful countriesin the world. People flockfrom thousands of milesaway to spend even thesmallest amount of timein our fair green isle. Weare lucky enough to live inwhat many consider to bethe jewel in the crown ofEurope. That is why there reallyisn’t any reason to leaveour little island when weembark on our annualsummer holidays. There is plenty to dowithout ever having toboard a plane or set sailon a ferry.

Many people enjoy theidea of staying at homeand have a staycationrather than a vacation. Nobooking fees or hassleinvolved.

local directory and localpaper and find out what isgoing on near you. But it is not all just aboutfamilies. If you are asingle person or a coupleyou could enjoy thedelights that a staycationhas to offer too. A stayca-tion doesn’t have to meanliterally staying in yourown home, it could mean

Many of thesehotels, b&b’s and guest-houses will have greatfamily rates too, so it issomething that is worthchecking out whether ornot you are going with afriend, a partner or withyour children. There are many localrestaurants that will offersuperb mid week andearly bird deals that youcan avail of, so duringyour holiday you won’tneed to cook. There will be plenty ofentertainment in yourlocal pub during thesummer months too,from bands to pubquizzes. This way, youcan make each night anight out just like youwould if you were travel-ling abroad.

Tristar TravelTristar Travel Worldchoice, whichis located at 31 Strand Street,Skerries is one of the most recog-nisable travel companies in theNorth County, where they havebeen planning holidays for theirlegion of loyal customers for thepast 38 years.In that time they have been dedi-cated to the needs of their clientswith a total t ravel serv icecomplete with old world attentionto detail and the ability to followthrough.Tristar Travel are specialist cruiseagents for companies, includingRoyal Caribbean, Celebrity, MSC,Norwegian, Thompson, RivieraRiver Cruises plus many more.They are also agents for SilverseaCruises which operates 7 StarCruise ships.The company, which is ful lybonded, also specialise in tailor-made and bespoke holidays andlong haul trips.The company is headed up by TomWalsh and his wife, Maureen andthey have been in business since1978, when the f irst shop wasopened in Balbriggan. Then in1994, Tom and Maureen decidedto open a branch at their presentlocat ion, 31 Strand Street inSkerries. In that time, they have become verywell known as the local travel agents whoare synonymous with planning the finestholidays for their loyal customers over theyears, providing excellent value for money,variety and choice. In 1998, Elaine Campbelljoined the company and has been there eversince.Tristar Travel offers a vast variety of cruisescover ing the globe with the Med andCaribbean being particularly popular. Otherfavourites include Alaskan, Baltic cruisesand the Norwegian Fjords. River Cruises arevery popular with specialist companies likeRiviera Travel making it very accessible.“They are a large part of our business. Wealso put a lot of long haul and unusual holi-days together for our customers. There havebeen a number of articles written in the

American press and elsewhere, saying thatyou actually save money by using a travelagent for your holidays, rather than doing itby yourself. This is particularly the casewhen you want to plan a high end holiday, beit cruising or packaging, or long haul vaca-tions, or anything out of the ordinary,” saidTom.A travel agent amounts to a one stop shop,where hotels, travel arrangements, transfersand visas are all looked after at the sametime. This takes the hassle out of trying toplan all the little details that can trip you up,thus making for a far more pleasant holiday,and at a lower cost as well.For those who like a tailor made holiday thatis not mainstream, then Tristar Travel willtake all the guesswork out of the equationfor you. They are specialists in the likes ofEscorted Tours, with Riviera Travel which arehugely popular, as well as holidays in coun-tr ies l ike Vietnam, Argent ina, Iceland,Croatia, river cruises on the Seine, trips to

the Greek Is lands, Thai land,Madeira, Afr ican Safar is andsome of the most exotic placeson earth. “We have planned holi-days literally from one end of theglobe to the other for many satis-fied customers,” said Tom.“We have also sent quite a fewpeople on hol idays over theRockies Mountains in Canada onthe Rocky Mountaineer, a trainjourney through some of themost breathtaking scenery onearth. We have also organisedtrain journeys in South Africa, theFar East and the Tran-SiberianExpress.”Tristar Travel are delighted toplan any kind of holiday for theircustomers, they special ise intailor-made holidays, which arenot normally available throughtravel brochures. “We can alsoorganise t r ips to any majorsporting events across the globe,including the Rugby and SoccerWorld Cups, Wimbledon, all ofgolf’s Majors, Royal Ascot, theGrand Prix circuit and practicallyany event that our customersrequire.”A very popular destination isLondon for a weekend where wecan provide flight, accommoda-

tion and tickets for one or two shows. Peopledon’t want to organise the little details, sowe package them al l together,” saidMaureen.Tristar Travel are affiliated to Worldchoice,which opens up a vast travel market whichtheir customers can avail of. They are one of60 travel agents in Ireland who are part ofthe Worldchoice group.“It gives us better buying power and avail-ability , as most cruise companies are Britishbased, it means that Worldchoice UK nego-tiate on our behalf, so we can pass on pricebreaks and a vast choice of destinations andtravel options to our customers.”Travel has changed dramatically over theyears from the days of the traditional stylebucket and spade holidays, to the moresophisticated holidays that need the atten-tion of specialists likeourselves. Planningholidays can be a veryhazardous exercisewhich can go drasti-cally wrong and thatis where our expertiseand experience cometo the rescue. Manypeople have come tous and said, Why didwe not come to youfirst,?” said Tom.All holidays at TristarTravel are carefullyput together, with theneeds of the customerfirst and foremost andthis level of profes-s ional ism is one ofthe reasons why thiscompany has enjoyedsuch a great level ofsupport f rom theirloyal customers overthe years, and is oneof the reasons whythey can look forwardto further success inthe years ahead.

Gardens are now attheir best, withgrowth in every areaof the garden,meaning that mainte-nance is at the highestlevel. A well keptgarden reflects justhow well your houseis tended. After all,the garden is the firstthing visitors seewhen they come toyour home. A poorlytended garden isnormally a sign thatyour home isn’t muchbetter.Gardens are highmaintenance at this

time of year, so weneed to get ourgardens summerfriendly. Freshen it upby just by simplypulling out a fewweeds from the pavingand flower beds.Gardening is a good

excuse to spend sometime out in the sun.Sprinkle some grassseeds onto the lawn,this will layer it with afresh coat, making thelawn look a whole lothealthier. Take thistime to decide if yourlawn requires level-ling, and for other biggarden projects, youmay need someprofessional , locallandscapers.
