Campaign set up to help Neil Hoey

Football Assocation (IAFA), youth academy, he has now made it to the senior team and will repre-sent Ireland at the AMP Futbol Cup in Poland later this month.

Neil, who has a prosthetic leg and uses crutches to play foot-ball, said he is looking forward to the tournament.

“We have two group matches against Italy and Turkey and hopefully we can progress from there,” he told Northside People.

“I first started playing for the junior amputee team three years ago and have been playing

At the age of 11, Neil Hoey, from Beaumont, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, and had to have his left leg amputated above the knee.

Alan O’Neill, his geography teacher at St Aidan’s CBS, White-hall, is entering ‘Team Neil’ into the marathon on October 26 to raise funds to purchase a running blade for the teenager which will cost approximately €9,400.

Alan, who will be running the 26.2 mile distance himself, is hoping to have at least 20 people on the team and is looking for as many people as possible to join him.

“I am lucky enough to teach Neil and I am just inspired and astounded by his heart, com-mitment and smile,” said Alan. “He is extremely popular among teachers and students alike.

“He has fought against the odds. For example, he cycles to school each day from his home and is engaged in a rigorous training regime. He wants to run and one day hopes to take part in the marathon.”

Staff and students at St Aidan’s

are holding a number of events this year to help Neil realise his dream.

“We also hope to raise aware-ness around disability among our 700 students,” said Alan.

“On the morning of the mara-thon, Neil will be giving the team a pep talk and he will also be there at the line to cheer the team home.

“Then when he runs for the first time in five years (after he gets the blade), we would like to invite all ‘Team Neil’ members to his first run.”

‘Team Neil’s’ target is €2,000 which they can achieve if they can get 20 athletes to raise €100 each.

“I would hope to have at least 20 on my team, but the more the merrier,” Alan added.

“Neil is an inspirational young man and has amazed all those around him with his character and spirit.”

Neil, who will turn 16 on Sep-tember 29, has shown tremen-dous courage since his cancer diagnosis in 2011.

for the senior team for the past year,” he said.

“It’s a great outlet, although I never ever thought that one day I would end up playing football. I used to play hurling for Whitehall Colmcille’s and it was a blow to have to give that up.”

Neil said he has always had a positive outlook which stood to him after he had his leg ampu-tated.

“I always hated sitting around and doing nothing anyway, and that hasn’t changed since the amputation,” he said.

“I believe you’ve got to make the most out of life, and focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t do.

“If I was able to get the blade it would make a big difference and would open up a lot of pos-

sibilities. I would love to be able to run.”

Exhibition opens at Botanic GardensIRELAND’S largest outdoor sculpture exhibition has opened at the Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin.

‘Sculpture in Context’, which showcases the work of Irish and international artists, will run un-til Friday, October 16.

The spectacular presentation is laid out in a variety of settings, winding through the 50 acres of landscaped grounds.

As you weave your way through the garden, you will discover sculptures in the most unexpect-ed and surprising places.

Ranging in size and materials, these works of art represent the richly diverse character of Irish and international contemporary sculpture today.

The aim of the exhibition is to provide a unique opportunity for works in venues outside of the normal gallery context.

The artwork is produced using a wide range of materials includ-ing bronze, ceramic, glass, cop-per, steel and stone.

Artist Kevin Pierce, from Ar-tane, who won the New Ireland Assurance Sculpture Award for his large outdoor work of distinc-tion in any medium, will show-case his ‘Contemporary Banana’ at the exhibition.

nity to view Ireland’s well estab-lished artists along with our most promising future artists and to

gain an insight into our country’s most exciting and contemporary art,” said Minister Harris.

“The National Botanic Gardens has a long association with this

exhibition and I am delighted to note the ‘New Ireland Assurance Sculpture Award’, introduced last year, is one of the largest prizes for sculpture in Ireland.

Admission to the exhibition is free and it is open on Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 10am-6pm.

ROUTINE: many parents look forward to back-to-school season. STOCK PHOTO▪

Renewed appreciation for teachers

LAST week I saw an interesting blackboard sign outside my local coffee shop. It read something along the lines of: ‘Children are back in school so treat yourself to some well-deserved me time with our mid-morning specials’.

The place was packed with happy parents, fresh from the school run. You couldn’t get a table, inside or outside the place. The sense of relief was palpable as mums and dads sipped their lattes and munched on freshly baked scones.

Comment: Tony McCullagh, Dublin People group editor

While it is of course wrong to look at our schools as a State-funded babysitting service, there’s no doubt that parents relish a bit of time away from their kids after the long summer break.

Research just published by the MummyPages website confirms what we already suspected.

It found that 63 per cent of mums breathe a sigh of relief and secretly look forward to back-to-school time.

But there’s more to it than parents simply wanting to take some time out for coffee. While 34 per cent look forward to having some free time for themselves, an overwhelming 91 per cent just want to get back into a routine.

There are financial reasons, too. Of those surveyed, 17 per cent found school time less expensive than the cost of summer activities. Indeed, while sports camps might seem like an attractive proposition during the holidays, the cost adds up – particularly if you have a few children.

An honest 43 per cent

admitted that it was exhausting trying to entertain children during the eight-week break.

The outrageous cost of childcare in Ireland places an even greater burden on families during the summer, making it more difficult in situations where both parents work.

Clearly, this is an area that the Government still needs to deliver on and it remains to be seen if promised childcare reform becomes a reality this side of the general election.

In the meantime, we should be grateful that our children are in such good hands for a large portion of the day. We may joke about the long holidays enjoyed by members of the teaching profession and their relatively short working days.

But, come September, we seem to develop renewed appreciation for the role they play in our kids’ lives. Because after two months at home with our youngsters, one thing is for sure: our teachers certainly have their work cut out for them!

Paddlers set sail for regatta GRAND Canal Dock will be awash with paddlers this week-end for the fifth annual Dublin Dragon Boat Regatta. Some 55 teams will race in the colour-ful two-day event which takes place on Saturday and Sunday, September 12 and 13, from 10am to 6pm daily.

Though relatively unknown in

Ireland, over 50 million people from 84 nations participate in dragon boat racing, an exciting and ancient Chinese sport which dates back over 2,000 years.

Dragon boat teams consist of 16 to 20 people, along with a drummer and a helms person.

Races at the regatta will be run over 200-metre and 400-metre distances and will include Under

18s, Novice Challenge and Inter-national categories.

Paddlers from Australia, Amer-ica, Germany, Italy and the UK will be among those travelling to Dub-lin for the regatta. Prizes will be given for the wackiest team outfit and for the biggest fundraisers.

A Breast Cancer category will feature many of the growing number of teams that have sprung

up around the country where the members are recovering from breast cancer treatment.

These include Ireland’s first dragon boat team - Plurabelle Paddlers, which trains at Grand Canal Dock, and will be co-host-ing the regatta with the Irish Dragon Boat Association (IDBA). Waterways Ireland is supporting the event.

Drumcondra road project sorts out traffic headache

the significance of the project.“The Swords Road Quality Bus

Corridor (QBC) is one of the busi-est routes in the Dublin bus net-

work, serving both Dublin Airport and Swords with a bus travelling every 90 seconds in each direc-tion at peak time,” she said. “The

upgrade will significantly improve traffic flow in the area.”

The project was a long time coming and began with tree re-

moval and a high pressure gas main facility relocation within St Patrick’s College grounds, which was completed in 2013.

The second phase included the relocation of the boundary and wall fronting the college across from the Cat and Cage. Its com-pletion was timed to coincide with the opening of the recently expanded campus in January 2014.

The final phase featured a new toucan crossing as well as in-bound and outbound bus stops. President of St Patrick’s College, Professor Daire Keogh, expressed his delight with the project.

“DCU welcomes the much needed enhancement of the Quality Bus Corridor (QBC) in Drumcondra,” he said.

“After 150 years, St Patrick’s Campus now opens directly onto Drumcondra village, and we look forward to increased engage-ment with the village and our great city.”

The upgrade on the Drumcon-dra Road Upper has removed a ‘pinch point’ and ensures con-tinuous bus lanes.

The road previously narrowed at the Cat and Cage pub and St Patrick’s College, causing delays during main peak periods as bus-es merged with other traffic.

The project, funded by the Na-tional Transport Authority from grants provided by the Depart-ment of Transport, also includes the enhancement of cycling and walking facilities on the route.

The upgrade was officially unveiled last week by Minister for Transport, Paschal Donohoe, and Dublin Lord Mayor, Críona Ní Dhálaigh.

“As someone who is very fa-miliar with the area I know that

these changes have been a long time coming,” said Minister Do-nohoe.

“I’m confident this upgrade is going to have a big impact on all users of this road by helping to ease traffic congestion.

“I have no doubt that the changes made will lead to even more cyclists using this route and also make a significant differ-ence to bus passengers’ journey times.

Lord Mayor, Críona Ní Dhálaigh, added: “This is an important project for Dublin and exempli-fies the value of private and public organisations working to-gether to make Dublin an easier place to get around.”

Flood defence work welcomed

with the fear of their property being destroyed by encroaching waters. “This leads to problems with people not being able to secure flood insurance on their homes.” According to Deputy Flanagan, the Office of Pub-lic Works (OPW) has compiled a comprehensive list of at-risk areas, which will be open to public consultation in October. “It is vitally important that long-

Work has started at Dolly-mount beach as part of the ‘Sut-ton 2 Sandycove’ promenade and cycleway scheme.

Cllr Denise Mitchell, one of Sinn Féin’s candidates in Dublin Bay North for the general elec-tion, said residents and visitors to the beach have long been af-fected by flooding in the area.

“The works will include a heightening of the existing sea wall to ensure statutory mini-mum levels of flood defence are maintained,” she stated.

“The wall will be adjusted at the Wooden Bridge to Seafield Road east junction; Seafield Road east junction to Dollymount Ave-nue junction; Dollymount Avenue junction to Mount Prospect Ave-nue junction; and Mount Prospect Avenue to St Anne’s carpark.”

Cllr Mitchell said it’s great to see this important work com-mence.

“I’ve no doubt it will give some relief to residents who have had to ensure years of damage to their homes and property

because of the flooding in this area,” she added.

Meanwhile, RENUA TD for Dublin Bay North, Terence Flana-gan, has highlighted the urgent need for Government funding to be allocated to protect ar-eas that are at risk of flooding. “There is a substantial flooding problem in Sutton and Howth,” he stated.

term measures are put in place to manage the flooding problem, which affects all parts of the country,” he said.

“The Government needs to en-sure that enough funding is allo-cated to provide important flood relief works in all areas identified. “This will involve more than doubling the current capital plan funding of €45 million per year, as €100 million a year will

be needed to sufficiently tackle the issue.” Deputy Flanagan said he has heard first-hand re-ports from constituents regard-ing the devastating impact that flooding has had on their lives. “We need to safeguard vulner-able properties and I urge any Dublin Bay North residents with concerns to share their views during the consultation period in October,” he added.

FOUR inspirational athletes returned home from Argen-tina after producing outstand-ing performances at the 20th World Transplant Games in Ar-gentina.

The team, which comprised Peter Heffernan (Skerries), Deir-dre Faul (Dalkey), Tony Gartland (Carlow) and Kieran Murray (Don-egal), won 13 medals between them – seven gold, four silver and two bronze.

After a long journey home, the team, managed by Colin White, from Balbriggan, received a rap-turous welcome at Dublin Air-port.

Despite the team’s small size, Ireland was placed 15th on the medals table out of 44 countries at the games which involved just under 800 organ transplant par-ticipants.

Peter Heffernan, who received a kidney transplant in 2011 and is a keen swimmer, won two gold medals (50m Backstroke and

1000m backstroke), and a bronze medal for the 1000m freestyle event in his age category (50-59).

“The games gave me an over-whelming sense of the gift I have received from my donor and their family,” said Peter.

“The hundreds of athletes who have participated in these games all testify to this sense of grati-tude. “One of the highlights of the week for me was when Erica, who is from Argentina, said that attending these games has changed her as they have opened her eyes to the importance of or-gan donation.

“She said she will talk to ALL her family and friends about car-rying a Donor Card. She said all the athletes were inspiring.”

Colin White, who is also the newly elected treasurer of the World Transplant Games Fed-eration, praised the spirit of the team,

Mr White said it has embodied everything that is good in trans-

plant sport, namely friendship, commitment, support and a deep appreciation for the gift of life that is organ donation.

“I have found this week both humbling and inspiring,” he stated.

“When you see the dreams

that are realised at the games you begin to realise the awesome power that transplant sport has to change lives.

“When you see the apprecia-tion for life one can’t but be in-spired to make a commitment to make a difference and carry an

organ donor card.”Mr White said the Irish team’s

medal haul did not go unnoticed by others at the games.

“However, I am more im-pressed with their (Irish team members) approach to this year’s games,” he said.

“For each of them it has been about the experience more than the end result, from their dedica-tion to training in advance of the games to embracing the opportu-nities to meet and make friends from all over the world, and their appreciation of who has helped them in their success.

“I think they have all been deeply enriched by the experi-ence.”

Mr White added: “As well as their medals they bring home treasured lifetime memories from their experience where every single participant shares the desire to honour their organ donors and are celebrating life through sport.”

The grate that marks the meeting of the Poddle and the Liffey. ▪

Remembering the secret river

Some of the earliest Viking settlers built their Dublin encampment close to its banks and used ‘An Dubh Linn’ as a harbour for their long boats.

Although today the Poddle is largely overlooked, the river has survived in popular folk memory.

You might be surprised to learn that the song, ‘Weila Weilia Wailla’, made fa-mous by ‘The Dubliners’, could be set by banks of the Poddle, ‘Down by the River Saile’. The River Saile in this case is be-lieved to be an anglicised corruption of the Irish word ‘Salach’, once a popular

THE origins of Dublin are tied to the stories of two great rivers. One is the majestic Liffey, where both the Gaelic settlement of Áth Cliath and later the walled city of Dublin grew on the banks.

The second is the River Poddle, which has been long forgotten and overlooked, despite the fact that this secret river gave Dublin its name.

Long before Dublin became the thriv-ing metropolis we know today, there was a deep tidal pool on the Poddle, close to its confluence or meeting with the Liffey.

This pool, known as the Black Pool or Dubh Linn in Irish, stood roughly where the landscaped gardens of Dublin Cas-tle now stand. The name Dubh Linn was

nickname for the Poddle that translates as ‘the dirty river’.

This great river was also the scene for one of the most daring prison escapes in Irish history. On January 6, 1592, the fa-mous Red Hugh O’Donnell, along with his comrade Art O’Neill, escaped from im-prisonment in Dublin Castle by climbing into a drain that gave access to the Pod-dle ensuring their escape to the Wicklow Mountains.

With such a proud history, it is hardly surprising that the Poddle has refused to be confined to its manmade under-

ground prison. Throughout Dublin’s history the river

has been known to break free and cause extensive flooding in the south inner city. The threat posed by the Poddle was once so severe at St Patrick’s Cathedral, that the graves of Jonathan Swift and Stella were moved to avoid its flooding waters.

The River Poddle has been part of the story of our city since the beginning. Instead of overlooking it, the Poddle should have pride of place and all Dub-liners should celebrate its great history and charm.

Daithí Ó Riain

later anglicised as Dublin. While Dublin now boasts international

renown, the Poddle has become a foot-note of its story.

To understand how such an important river has been forgotten, we must take a look at its history.

The Poddle begins its life as the Tymon River, rising at Cookstown in Tallaght. Its course flows through Tymon North, Tem-pleogue, Greenhills and Kimmage before dividing into two parts at ‘The Tongue’ in Harold’s Cross.

The river later recombines and its lat-ter stages have been extensively culvert-ed, meaning the Poddle flows through hidden manmade tunnels under much of Dublin’s south west inner city.

The final course of the Poddle flows through a large brick tunnel under Dub-lin Castle and the surrounding streets, before entering the Liffey through a grate, close to the Clarence Hotel on Wellington Quay. Although access to this section of the Poddle is difficult, it is pos-sible to navigate these secret tunnels.

Sadly, the grate which marks the his-toric confluence of the Poddle and the Liffey is now only visible at low tide, and this, along with the extensive culverting of this once great river, is the reason it has been forgotten.

But the Poddle deserves to be recog-nised. Its Black Pool was an area of ma-jor strategic importance in early Dublin.

Extra loo? Extra shower? All made possible with SanifloAdding extra bathrooms, utility rooms, cloakrooms and even kitchens to your home - even when you haven’t got the appropriate drainage infrastructure – is possible in pretty much every instance thanks to a range of macerators and pumps from Saniflo. The clever white boxes feature small bore pipework that connects to each unit and takes waste away up and along to the nearest soil pipe quietly and effectively. Take the Sanitop. An unobtrusive macerator pump that sits behind the W.C (it can also be sited behind a false wall if required) and takes waste from the loo as well as a basin, it is an ideal solution for adding a cloakroom. The Saniplus takes the waste from a shower as well enabling a whole bathroom to be installed thanks to one Saniflo unit. There are another 16 models in the domestic range so why not check out the website to see if there’s a solution to help you to install more facilities.

Spectacular costal walk is open againONE of Ireland’s most dramatic coastal walks is open again fol-lowing a multi-million pound investment programme.

The Gobbins is a reimagined version of a ‘best kept secret’ along the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland.

It’s 40 minutes from Belfast and the reopened attraction is a dramatic two mile long cliff-face walk with spectacular bridges, tunnels and staircases, support-ed by a visitor centre and guided tours.

The Gobbins is located in scenic Islandmagee and it was originally built in the early 20th century.

It takes visitors along a spec-tacular cliff-face path not for the faint hearted and it’s an un-expected, white-knuckle walk across one of Ulster’s most dra-matic coastlines.

Guided tours along the new

path will allow adventurous visi-tors to enjoy the coast of the Irish Sea in a way they have not been able to in over 50 years.

The new experience is de-signed to excite all the senses, and it’s the closest visitors will

get to walking on water as they hear the waves crashing against the cliffs, feel the spray of the sea on their face and witness the ever-changing flora and fauna along the route.

The re-envisioned Gobbins

will continue with the tradition of innovation and bring back to life the spectacular tubular and suspension bridges that hung from the cliff-face and staircas-es, caves and tunnels that were carved through the rock.

Built alongside the eroded re-mains of the original path, the new experience uses modern materials and methods, coupled with the original design ethos, as if Berkeley Deane Wise was build-ing it today.

A new visitor centre located a short distance away from the route is where the expedition

starts. After a brief safety in-duction, visitors are transported down to the path and guided on their journey.

Interpretation inside the visi-tor centre will tell visitors about the making of The Gobbins, as well as the geology and ecology of Islandmagee.

Fiona Cunningham from Tour-ism Northern Ireland said: “We are very excited with the reopen-ing.

“It is one of Northern Ireland’s most unique attractions and is something that visitors from the Republic of Ireland should defi-

nitely pay a visit to.“The new website (www.

thegobbinscliffpath.com) has just been launched and it is a hub of information for visitors detailing the attraction’s history - from its conception in 1902, its demise in 1954, to its journey back to life in 2015; what it has to offer; news; events and online booking information; plus it will assist people in planning their trip.”

The Gobbins is open daily from 9.30am to 5.30pm. For further information on planning a visit go to www.discovernorthernireland.com.

The walk is open again following a multi-million pound investment programme.▪

Beautiful Lake Garda is an arresting spectacleI’m looking to book a last minute family trip abroad. My wife and I would love to go

somewhere beautiful with warm weather, where we can swim and there is plenty of other outdoor activities to keep our kids entertained.

Do you have any suggestions as to where we should go?

Lake Garda, a luxury Lake District in the north of Italy, is the ideal spot for anyone in search of

sunshine and a family friendly des-tination with a difference.

With stunning scenery, plenty to see and do, and the warm Mediter-ranean climate, Lake Garda has long been a firm holiday favourite in Europe.

At 52km long, Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy and given the expanse of water, it’s no wonder the lake’s shores have become a haven for water sports fans.

Torbole at the north end of the lake is a well-known watersports spot and is the perfect place to hone your skills on the lake, what-ever your level.

Offering a range of activities such as windsurfing, sailing and kitesurfing, this energetic enter-tainment is guaranteed to keep all the family having fun!

The Lake Garda landscape is rich and diverse with majestic mountainous backdrops offering a unique opportunity for exploring.

Try something new while you’re away with a thrilling canyoning ad-venture through Alto Garda Bresi-cano, a national park in Italy, with the SkyClimber Company.

Discover the distinct flora and fauna at home in the national park to see yet another side to the re-gion.

For even more exciting activi-ties, treat the family with a day trip to Gardaland theme park. Known as one of the most popular amuse-ment parks in Europe, the exhila-

rating roller-coasters, Mammut and Blue Tornado, are major draws to the park for thrill-seekers.

When you’re ready for a break from the rides, pay a visit to the extensive aquarium in Gardaland Sea-Life.

Enjoy a quieter time and some well-deserved relaxation in the small town of Malcesine. Situated at the foot of Mount Baldo, this quaint Italian town is particularly beautiful and well worth a visit.

Climb to the top of the historic Malcesine Castle, for a panoramic view overlooking Lake Garda. With narrow cobbled streets, pebbled beaches, and a scenic harbour rife with restaurants, there’s no deny-ing the appeal of this simply stun-ning town.

In true Italian fashion wind down your day in the town centre, with a glass of good Italian wine, or a scoop of gelato and watch the sun go down over Lake Garda.

When it comes to wonderful weather, outdoor entertainment and magnificent scenery, it seems that Lake Garda has it all and lots more!

Great line-up for film festivalTHE 2015 Fingal Film Festival takes place from September 25-27, and the organising team has put together a great line up of events for film enthusiasts and film-makers alike.

The opening film is ‘Surviving Auschwitz’, a true story based on one man’s fight for survival. It tells the astonishing, harrowing and incredibly moving story of a Tunisian Jewish boxer, Victor Perez, who became the World Flyweight Champion in 1931 and 1932.

Perez was arrested in Paris on September 21, 1943 and detained in the Drancy internment camp before be-ing transported to Auschwitz where he was assigned to serve as a slave labourer.

Tickets can be purchased at www.tickets.ie and for more, visit www.fingalfilmfestival.ie

FILM REVIEW

This DOPE is pretty smartAS the opening sequence to this movie reminds us, the word dope has a number of different meanings.

It’s an illegal drug, a stupid person, or in black slang, some-thing that’s very good.

While I’m not really qualified to use the film’s name to describe it, I can say it is rather clever, though not nearly as much as it wants to be.

DOPE tells the story of Mal-colm (played by newbie Shameik Moore) whose daily routine in-volves carefully negotiating life in a tough neighbourhood of Los Angeles, while at the same time juggling college applications and academic interviews.

A chance invitation to an un-derground party leads to an ad-venture that could allow him to go from being a geek, to being dope, to ultimately being him-self.

While the film is pitched as

a comedy and has three young teens as its main stars, the sub-ject matter is as adult as they come.

Malcolm and his friends are dif-ferent to the rest, not only geeks but clever ones, and in Malcolm’s case, hoping to gain entry into Harvard.

It’s strange therefore that he makes a number of dumb deci-sions when it comes to the haul of drugs he’s unfortunate enough to discover hidden in his back-pack.

The film appears to want to say there is an alternative to the gangster lifestyle for those that grow up in impoverished areas but our lead ultimately takes that route himself, albeit showing a lot more cleverness in outwitting those around him in the process.

You also get the feeling it’s trying to be, and say, a number of different things at the same time, which is certainly ambi-tious, but maybe overly so.

Moore is impressive in his first feature and the supporting cast, which includes Zoe Kravitz, all do a fine job.

The film isn’t as funny as you might hope for, but the fast paced script and direction do keep your attention and in-terest.

DOPE scored big with the audiences at the Sundance Film Festival and we score it a de-cent, if not dope, 3 out of 5 stars.

how to apply for your water grant QUEStION

I registered with Irish Water earlier this year. How do I ap-ply for the Water Conservation Grant?

ANSWEREvery household that registered

its principal private dwelling (main home) with Irish Water by June 30 2015 is eligible for the Water Con-servation Grant in 2015. The pay-ment is €100 and will issue from September 2015.

Households that registered after June 30 2015, or have yet to regis-ter, are not eligible for the grant in 2015.

By the end of September 2015, all eligible households will get a letter from the Department of So-cial Protection explaining how to apply for the Water Conservation Grant. You cannot apply for it until

you have received this letter. When you get your letter, you apply on-line on watergrant.ie. You must ap-ply before October 8 2015.

You will need the following in-formation to apply for your Water Conservation Grant:

•TIN (Transaction Identifica-tion Number) – you will find this number on the letter you received from the Department.

•WPRN (Water Point Reference Number) – a number specific to your house, which you will also find on the letter from the Depart-ment.

Irish Water account or registra-tion number – you got this when you registered with Irish Water. If you have your own water supply and wastewater services, you will have a registration number instead of an account number. Contact Irish Water directly if you cannot

find these numbers.•Your PPS number.•Details of the bank or other

account into which you want your grant to be paid (BIC, IBAN and ac-count name) – you will find these on recent bank statements.

If you do not have internet ac-cess or a bank account, you can telephone the Water Conservation Grant Support Team at 1890 100 043 (9am–5pm, Monday to Friday) and they will make arrangements for you.

Cycling offencesQUEStION

I’m a regular cyclist. What are the new cycling offences and what are the fines?

ANSWERLike other road users, cyclists

must obey the existing rules that apply to traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, zebra crossings and cycle traffic lights. You must stop at stop signs and give way at yield signs.

There are also rules about the equipment a bicycle must have. These rules are set out in various laws and regulations.

There are no new cycling offences but, since July 31 2015, certain cy-cling offences have been declared to be fixed charge offences. The fixed charge system allows you to pay a fixed charge or fine instead of going to court to answer the offence.

The cycling offences to which a fixed charge applies are:

•No front or rear light during lighting-up hours

•Riding a bicycle without reason-able consideration

•Failing to stop for a school war-den sign

•Failing to stop at traffic lights when the red lamp is lit

•Failing to stop at cycle traffic lights when the red lamp is lit

•Failing to stop at a stop line, barrier or half barrier at a railway level crossing, swing bridge or lift-ing bridge, when the red lamps are flashing

•Cycling in a pedestrianised street or area

The fixed charge for a cycling offence is currently €40. If it is not paid within 28 days, the charge is increased by 50 per cent. If it is still unpaid after a further 28 days then court proceedings are initiated.

If you pay the fixed charge within the legal time limits and court pro-ceedings are not commenced, you will not have a criminal record in respect of the offence.

Northsiders to be remembered at candlelit vigil

Ray of hope

Jack Gleeson

HUNDREDS of Northsiders will be marking World Suicide Prevention Day this Thursday (September 10) by providing hope and comfort to each other at a poignant candlelight vigil in Ballymun.

Organised by the Andy Morgan Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Awareness, the vigil at the Civic Plaza on Main Street will include a ‘wall of hope’ that will project images of locals lost to suicide, as well as inspirational messages for those left behind, onto the Axis Centre building.

The vigil will be the third organised by the Foundation for World Suicide Prevention Day and while the ‘Wall of Hope’ has been projected on buildings before, Thursday will be the first time it will be used at the annual event.

Sadly, the number of those featured on the ‘wall’ has increase since it was first created.

“When we started there was just five photos but now I think there’s about 150,” said Joanne Featherston, the partner of Andy Morgan who took his own life in Santry on New Year’s Eve, 2010.

“But when I look at all those faces, you feel that you’re kind

of helping them in a way. Sometimes you feel like giving up but when I look at the photographs and they’re looking back at you, it gives you the push to keep going and try and raise the awareness.”

The Andy Morgan Foundation has raised tens of thousands of euro for local suicide prevention and support services over the last four years. Joanne, along with friends and family members, have also held talks and organised workshops in local schools and in the community to raise awareness of positive mental health.

Their work is also credited with preventing a number of suicides and has given comfort to numerous locals left devastated by a loved one taking their own life.

The vigil at 8pm on Thursday will give the community an opportunity to remember victims of suicide but there’ll

also be a strong message of

hope for the bereaved and support for those suffering with mental health

issues.Those

attending are encouraged to

bring along photos and candles. Special

candles with wind protectors are available from the Angels of Ireland shop in Finglas.

At previous vigils many locals have brought along balloons with messages attached and let them go while the names of loved ones are read out.

There will also be appropriate music on the night performed by community based vocal group, Ceol, and a local singer will also be performing a song written in memory of a sibling lost to suicide.

In previous years the Foundation held vigils in Finglas and other areas to mark World Suicide Prevention Day but it was decided to hold one major event in Ballymun this year.

The vigil at the Civic Plaza is being backed by Dublin City Council and tea, coffee and toilet facilities will be available in the Axis Centre.

Fur ball takes flight on Friday DOG loving TV and radio presenter Lucy Kennedy is helping Dogs Trust with this year’s annual fundraising Fur Ball, which takes place on Friday (September 11).

The ball is being held in the Mansion House and Lucy will be host for the night and sup-ported by comedian Karl Spain. They’ll be helping entertain hundreds of dog-loving sup-porters who’ll be raising much needed funds fur the love of dogs!

Kathrina Bentley, Head of Marketing at Dogs Trust says the Fur Ball is a crucial date in

the canine charity’s campaigns calendar every year.

“Dogs Trust does not receive any Government funding so we rely heavily on raising as much funds at this event as we pos-sible can to ensure we can con-tinue to care for the 200+ dogs in our care and the thousands of dogs we rehome each year through our Rehoming Centre and dedicated Puppy Wing,” she explained.

This year’s Fur Ball will raise money specifically for 35 TLC (Time, Love and Commitment) Dogs in the care of Dogs Trust. These

dogs have spent longer than six months in the care of the charity and require that extra special care from their new home. Music and entertainment on the night will be provided by pianist Paul Huberman and rock band The Harley’s and there’ll be a superb auction with raffle prizes kindly donated from Dogs Trust’s army of loyal supporters.

Tickets for the black tie Fur Ball are available by following the links at dogstrust.ie or by calling Dogs Trust on 01-8791836.

IT’S not just the kids who need to adjust to getting back to school according to pet store chain, Maxi Zoo, who say pet parents should also be thinking about teaching old dogs new tricks.

This month Maxi Zoo in Finglas is running a campaign to give dog owners a few lessons in caring for our adorable bundles of fur.

Maxi Zoo’s team of pet experts will be on hand at the store in Clearwater Retail Park throughout the coming weeks to freely educate and advise dog

owners who want to learn how to teach an old dog new tricks and how to correct past mistakes.

“It’s never too late for you or your pet to learn,” says Alice Cross, Executive Director of Maxi Zoo Ireland.

“Just drop by the store with your pet and our pet experts will talk you through the simple things that you can do to make learning fun for you and your dog.

“Patience and proper motivation are very important but understanding how to use a clicker is just one of the practical

time to teach old dogs new tricks

things that you can do to speed up the rate at which your dog learns new tricks.

“A clicker is an ideal training aid. It allows you to acknowledge positive steps as they occur and promises your dog a reward. Unlike the human voice, it always sounds the same.

“Press the clicker and give your dog a treat immediately afterwards. Once you have done this around 20 times, your dog

will have learned to associate the sound with a treat and reward.”

Maxi Zoo’s pet experts will also provide free advice on the length of time pet parents should practice learning tricks with their pets like playing dead, rolling over and weaving, while also providing tips on how to finish pet training on a high so that their dog stays keen to play and learn.

“Clear communication is also essential,” adds Cross.

“Our pet experts can also talk through the value of single word commands and the importance of communicating using as much body language as possible.

“Pet parents can learn how to understand and read their dog’s body language. They will also discover the value of putting themselves in their dog’s place to understand why their pet

reacts the way it does and to work out how to get rid of bad habits.”

Maxi Zoo has also prepared a series of training guides for pet parents that are available at all stores nationwide. They can also be downloaded from www.maxizoo.ie.

Pet parents can also view video training tips on Maxi Zoo’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/maxizooireland.

Inspirational Jillian leads by example

After losing three stone and maintaining it over the past year, Jillian has since become a Slimming World consultant and is teaching other ladies in the community the value of eating healthily.

The Northside mum, who also suffered from Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), heard about Slimming World through a family member.

However, it was after spotting the banner outside her localgroup and advertising in the supermarket that convinced Jillian to go alongand see what it was all about.

It took three attempts for her to finally decide to go throughthe door and it was one of the best decisions she ever made. Setting herown personal weight loss target with Slimming World was just one of the many positives shefound on the other side of that door.

After meeting her consultant Jillian couldn’t believe how much food shecould eat and felt such a food plan was too generous to be called a diet.

No food was off limits and Jillian found it so flexible and easy to follow.

Convenient, processed foods were replaced with fresh produce that was reasonably priced and healthy recipes that

were quick and easy to follow.Losing weight has changed

Jillian’s life for the better. She has her confidence back and there are no more PCOS symptoms.

She is now a member of Whitehall Colmcille’s Gaelic for Mothers’ team and is a former Slimmer of the Month;

In March Jillian started the Couch to 5k jogging programme and in June, she jogged in the Women’s Mini Marathon.

She also recently competed in her first 10-mile race.

Inspired by her own consultant and their group, Jillian felt she had much to offer in the role of consultant and wanted to help others do what she thought was impossible.

Now a target member, Jillian has been a consultant for 10 months in Kilmore/Beaumont area and has a group in Gaelscoil Cholmcille, Coolock Lane.

Jillian’s success story is set to continue and now she is expanding to help others in the Santry area. She is re-launching the Santry Group in Greenfield Park Community Club, Shanliss Avenue (just behind Aldi).

Why not go along and see for yourself what it’s all about on Monday, September 7 at 5.30pm or 7.30pm. For more information, contact Jillian on 086-3532051.

The truth about dental implantsMANY people would like to have implants but are appre-hensive about the surgical procedure involved.

This is a shame because it is definitely the ultimate procedure available for not only replacing missing teeth but for also retaining the jawbone and therefore, the shape of one’s face.

They are, of course, through the various clip-on systems, invaluable for securely retaining dentures and make loose lower dentures a thing of the past.

The good news for those apprehensive patients who may be a little squeamish about the surgery involved is that a new modality for the Memory Invasive Implantation

Insertion (MIMI) is available with the Champion Implant System from Germany (www.mimi-info.com).

Using this technique, the scalpel stays in the drawer and no sutures are required. Obviously the implant is still inserted into the bone but unlike teeth there are very few nerves in it, and therefore, the procedure will be totally

comfortable and easy.

For further expert information, contact dental surgeon Liam O Droma, who is based on Harbour Road, Howth.

Get rid of stress and anxietyWendy Quinn

MOST of us feel stressed or anxious at different times in our lives - looking for work, an exam, moving house, giving a presentation/speech, social situations, relationships etc.

Stress can come from a situa-tion that makes us feel nervous or overwhelmed.

Anxiety can come from feel-ings of fear, worry and constant negative thinking. Stress and anxiety can come and go. How-ever, if you are feeling helpless, overwhelmed, unable to concen-trate or focus or having difficulty coping with life, then it is time to get help.

If you are avoiding situations or events because of irrational fears or constant worrying, it is time to do something about it.

How do you know if you are stressed or anxious? Muscle ache, headaches, stomach up-set, palpitations, dizziness, rapid breathing, tiredness, sweating, diarrhea.

Often we cannot sleep, our

blood pressure rises and we are constantly thinking the worst, feeling irritable, angry, sad, rest-less and/or insecure.

This can lead to avoidance, overeating, drinking too much, smoking more or abusing drugs. Everyone reacts differently. There is no need to continue suffering. Using an innovative approach by learning to manage stress and anxiety you can feel calm, relaxed and in control when there is stress around you.

Practice proven psychological tools and techniques to overcome anxiety and fear. Feel freer and

increase your confidence, learn how to react differently and make positive changes in your life now.

Increase concentration and focus, sleep better and take that important step to long term, per-manent change.

DEMENTIA care expert, Molly Carpen-ter, officially launched her first book for Irish caregivers, ‘Confidence to Care’, at a recent book signing event in Airfield, Dundrum.

Molly’s book was created to help Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers look after loved ones at home.

It combines personal stories with practical techniques drawn from expe-riences from family caregivers, profes-sional caregivers and internationally recognised experts.

The book also focuses on the most common issues associated with Alzhe-imer’s disease and other dementias and helps family carers deal with caregiving situations they never thought they would have to face. Each chapter offers plenty of care approaches and prevention tips, and begin with a relevant and moving

real-life family caregiver story.The book launch and signing was host-

ed by Home Instead Senior Care, Dublin’s largest home care provider.

About 44,000 people in Ireland are liv-ing with Alzheimer’s disease - a number that is expected to reach 104,000 by 2037. There are over 50,000 family car-egivers whose lives are affected as each day they care for a loved one that needs their support.

As of this moment, there is no way to cure someone with Alzheimer’s and care providers therefore encourage families to think of how to care, rather than cure their loved ones living with a dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

Speaking at the book launch, Molly shared some of her own personal car-egiving insights.

“Caring for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other types of

dementia is challenging at best,” she said.

“In the beginning, taking care of that person will be maddening and frustrat-

ing and terrible. And frankly, you won’t be very good at it. I wasn’t at the start. So how do you stay in control but still al-low your loved one to maintain dignity?

My answer has turned more pragmatic over the years. You do it by listening.

“I’ve found the best caregivers are the ones who give themselves permission to enter into the world of the person they’re caring for. What that means is looking for signs - the life someone once led, their passions, daily routines, and memories, all still matter. But now they are more important than ever.”

Confidence to Care also highlights the importance of the caring for the car-egiver as well as caring for the person living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. It also provides support in dealing with a range of dementia-related symptoms and behaviours.

All profits from this book will be do-nated to dementia-related organisations and causes. The Irish edition of the book is available in paperback and Kindle edi-tion from Amazon.co.uk.

‘Ireland’s Harp: The Shaping of Irish Identity c 1770 to 1880’THE Irish harp in various shapes and sizes, surmounted by a crown or phrases in Irish or English, and set against a blue or green background, has been a mediating symbol between Irish and colonial cul-tures for centuries.

Although the iconic instru-ment was first employed on Irish coinage minted in England in the sixteenth century, its importance as a symbol of Irish music and culture predates this by several hundred years.

Since the eighteenth cen-tury, the popularity of the harp icon on the flags and insignia of various political and cultural movements has secured the in-strument’s status as a significant

marker of national identity. ‘Ire-land’s Harp: the Shaping of Irish Identity c 1770 to 1880’ brings to light the monumen-tal importance of this instru-ment by high-lighting the central place the harp oc-cupied in the formation and expression of Ireland’s cul-tural and national identity in this period.

Ireland’s Harp, which is exten-sively illustrated, examines the importance of the harp icon in the visual politics of the Volun-teer movement and the United Irishmen in the latter half of the

Dementia care expert and author launches new book

About the AuthorMary Louise O’Donnell holds a doctorate from the University of Limerick and is a former Irish Research Council postgraduate scholar and postdoctoral fellow. Her research on the history and performance practice of the Irish harp has been published in Utopian Studies, Éire-Ireland, the Journal of the Society for Musicology in Ireland and the American Harp Journal, and she has also published widely on topics relating

eighteenth century.In the early nineteenth century,

O’Donnell focuses on how writers including Thomas Moore and

Sydney Owenson used the harp metaphor in their

literary works and songs to represent the Irish people. In songs such as ‘The Minstrel Boy’

and ‘The Harp That Once Through Tara’s Halls’ by Moore, the harp was

used as the symbol of an op-pressed nation, an enslaved peo-ple and a shattered civilisation.

From the 1830s onwards, an im-age of a harp similar to the oldest extant Irish harp, the Brian Boru or Trinity College harp, gradually replaced the winged-maiden harp icon.

This type of harp, often referred to as a plain harp because of the absence of the winged-maiden design, was a recurring image in the iconography of various politi-cal and revolutionary movements, including the Repeal Association, the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Land League.

One of the most important periods in this evolution was be-tween 1770 and 1880. In these years, the instrument became central to many utopian visions of an autonomous Irish nation and eventually the harp’s meta-phoric significance eclipsed its musical one. From the revolu-tionary symbolism of the harp to the cultural curiosities that were the blind Irish harpers, the many permutations of Ireland’s harp are thoroughly examined.

New approach to English exam A NEW approach to prepar-ing for the English Leaving Cert is empowering students and giving them an edge for one of the most important exams of their lives.

Orlaith Fitzpatrick, who is behind the initiative, says she started up her intensive grinds course for one simple reason.

“Through my years of teach-ing I have noticed that most students fall down when ‘ana-lysing the question’,” she ex-plains.

“All too often a student, through nerves or inexperi-ence, will hand the examiner the ‘plot’ of a text without ever really addressing the ‘ques-tion’ they have been asked.

“This is both disheartening and exhausting for an exam-iner because they are looking for the student’s interpreta-tion.

“In other grinds schools, emphasis is placed on giving students reams of notes. I give notes but just the essentials.”

Unlike many other grinds schools Orlaith - who has lots of experience correcting State exams - sets essays for stu-dents and believes essay writ-ing every week is the only way a student can gain confidence and ability.

“It’s all practice, practice, practice and I am more than happy to correct essays to show students where they have faltered and how to im-

prove their style for June,” she explains.

“The crying shame is that students generally know the answer but they stumble with getting in onto the page in a clear and cohesive way. And that’s where I come in!

“My goal is to give students the confidence through essay planning and writing to aban-don their inherent need to ‘tell the story’ and trust that the examiner is much more inter-ested in their interpretation of the question.

“Students will learn to be fearless and logical in their approach.”

Learning to studyIF YOUR child or teenager’s idea of exam preparation is staying up all night cramming for the week before the test then he or she needs to take a few lessons in study.

Studying is obviously one of the most important subjects for stu-dents but amazingly most schools and colleges don’t offer any class-es in how to actually do it.

Studying isn’t easy because it’s something you have to motivate yourself to do. There’s no teacher watching over you and no doubt your study environment is full of distractions like TVs and game consoles.

Add to that the temptation to hang out with friends and the fact that exam time always seems to be ages away and it’s easy to understand why cramming is still the most popular way to study. But it’s certainly not the best.

Good, regular study usually means rewards with good results and definitely less stress levels at exam time.

There’s no hard and fast rules

for study so you have to create your own. First, set aside a spe-cific time to study.

Many students find it easy to come home, have something to eat, then study right away.

But you might find that this in-terferes with some other activity that you like so you’ll need to find what works for you.

Try to study every day. If you don’t have assignments to do, take a few minutes to review subjects that you find hardest.

There’s no success or failure in study but putting aside some time every day helps cultivate a habit and actually makes study-ing easier. Create your own study space. If you don’t have a desk in your room, or if the dining room table doesn’t give you enough peace, consider going to the local library or taking up a corner of a seldom used room.

Don’t do other things while you are studying. This includes watch-ing TV, fixing a snack, and talking

on the phone. Some people claim they can study better with music playing but it’s really a matter of personal preference.

If it’s just quiet background music that doesn’t make you want to play the drums on your books, it’s probably not too distracting. However, if you keep wanting to leap from the chair to try out the latest dance moves, turn it off.

If you have a lot of reading to do to prepare for a test, try taking notes as you go along. Otherwise, you’ll find your mind wandering.

Homework or study shouldn’t take up all of your spare time. If you find one teacher is giving out hours of homework all the time, it could be that they don’t realise it takes so long. Talk to your teach-er, or to another teacher you can approach and alert them to the amount of time your homework is taking up.

Finally, ask for help if you need it. Teachers and friends are usu-ally willing to go over something with you again if you didn’t quite get it the first time.

Good, regular study is better than cramming it all into a weekend and ending up exhausted.▪

Get ready to readMost students open their

books, read until they finish, lose interest or fall asleep. Then they convince themselves that their concentration, comprehension, and speed are poorer than every-one else’s.

If this sounds familiar, take heart, you are not alone. You need to recognise that reading may be the most demanding work that you will be required to do and that nearly everyone re-ports difficulty with the volume of reading assigned to them.

So how are you supposed to get through that mountain of reading?

The first thing to keep in mind is that no one realistically expects you to read every single item that is given to you.

This is just not possible, unless of course you don’t eat or sleep. Once you realise that this is the case you need to turn your atten-tion to trying to make your read-ing more effective so that you are

READING is an essential part of learning, and while it might seem like it’s simply a matter of turning the pages there are ways to make sure you get the most out of your books.

educationable to recall what you’ve read.

Reading from cover to cover won’t help you to retain infor-mation. You have to realise that you’re not reading a novel, you are collecting information. The following tips are designed to help you become a more effec-tive reader.

1) Read the mateRial moReoften but foR shoRteR pe-Riods of time.

Most students can read for 20 to 30 minutes without los-ing concentration. Studies have shown that learning is improved by changing tasks each hour, spreading the work over time and dipping into it more frequently.

2) Read gRoups of woRdsat a time and don’t mouth them.

Read as though you’re skim-ming for information, not as though you are practising a speech you plan to recite. Your brain can read faster than your mouth. Speed and comprehen-sion will increase if you read in meaningful phrases.

3) figuRe out ‘why’ you aReReading the mateRial.

Establish a context by begin-

ning with an overview of the material. This will improve your comprehension and retention. Begin by reading the introduc-tion, headings, charts, graphs, diagrams, conclusion, and sum-mary. Then take a minute to think about the material before beginning to read in depth.

4) Read with a puRpose. Don’t just begin reading. Be-

fore you read ask yourself some questions and then note the answers or the most important points where they occur. Establish a list of questions, either by turn-ing the headings into questions, or by looking at your class notes. Then read with the intention of answering these questions.

Check the margins when you think you’ve found answers. It’s better not to take notes, high-light, or underline at this point; you won’t know which are the most important points until you are finished.

Read through the material again and focus on your checks in the margin while deciding which points are the most important. It is only at this point where you will be able to make an informed opinion and then highlight or take notes of the material.5) tuRn youR Reading mate-Rial into a study tool.

You’ve bought the books - so use them. Since you don’t have to give them back feel free to mark them up, highlight passages, and write notes in them. Write your questions in the margins, opposite the answers. Regularly review the material by cover-ing the page and answering the questions.

educationHand washing bashes bacteriaHYGIENE experts have found that over 40 per cent of pri-mary school students have high levels of bacteria on their hands.

The experts from Initial discov-ered the worrying trend during the company’s nationwide Hy-giene Angels primary school tour that took place earlier this year.

Initial are now urging parents and schools to show children how to wash their hands properly to prevent the spread of illness as the new school term gets under-way.

‘Hygiene Angels’ from Initial visited eight schools during the company tour and swabbed 97 children’s hands.

Of these, 40 were found to have high levels of bacteria, which could indicate the possibil-ity of cross-contamination with potentially harmful bacteria.

Half of the students swabbed had a normal level of bacteria on their hands.

The Hygiene Angels then showed students how to wash their hands properly, and retest-ed the children. After washing for

at least 20 seconds, each child had a low level of bacteria.

“The high levels of bacteria re-corded on some children’s hands is worrying, as they are at a higher risk of both contracting an illness and passing bacteria onto other children,” said Dr Colm Moore of Initial.

“Hand washing in general can reduce bacteria by 80 per cent. However, based on the results of this survey, up to 93 per cent of bacteria were removed through

good hand washing methods.“It is not enough to wash hands

when they are visibly dirty. The germs are too small to see, and even clean looking hands can be contaminated. Interestingly, the children with the lowest levels of bacteria on their hands had a hand sanitizer installed in their classroom and were generally found to be using it and therefore at a lower risk of contracting an illness or passing bacteria on to others.”

Tips for perfect wallpapering Intricate patterns - like flow-

ers or rainbows - can lead to frustration, discarded paper or a mismatched wall. Keep it simple until you get confident with your paper-hanging skills.

TAKE A PASTING:Pour your wallpaper paste

into a paint tray and use a roller to apply. Twice as quick, half as messy.

FAIL TO PREPARE. . .:You’ll get a better finish if you

fill all the cracks between door frames and skirtings and the walls before hanging the paper.

Dedicate five or six minutes to rubbing the walls down, es-pecially if you have removed old wallpaper.

THICK OR THIN:A good indication of whether

the paste is strong enough is to dip the paste brush into the paste and then lay the brush on the pa-per. When you lift the brush the paper should stay stuck to it.

A GOOD SOAK:Make sure you soak the paper

for at least as long as the manu-facturer states or it’ll continue to expand when it has been hung, causing the seams to push up and blistering.

Soak each length of paper for the same amount of time. This is less critical with vinyl papers.

PASTE WASTE:Keep a sponge and a bucket of

water to hand to clean any excess paste off the wallpaper as you go. If you don’t, it’ll show and if left on white emulsion it’ll turn yel-low.

BUBBLE TROUBLE:Got bubbles or blisters behind

your paper? Be patient as in the majority of cases they’ll disap-pear.

Bubbles take longer to van-ish when hanging vinyl paper on painted walls in a humid area. One way of getting rid of stub-born bubbles is to cut the bubble in a + shape with a very sharp knife and then paste behind and

use a sponge to gently press the paper back into place.

TALL TALE:If you want to make your room

look taller, use a paper with verti-cal stripes. Horizontal stripes will make a room look wider.

ELECTRIC SHOCK:To get the perfect finish

around electrical fittings, like light switches and plug sockets, switch the power off and remove the face plates.

Hang the paper as normal, then cut out about a quarter of an inch from the outside of the fitting.

When you re-wire and replace the face plate you will have the perfect finish.

LAPPING:Use a wood or border glue

when overlapping paper, espe-cially vinyls, and the paper will never come unstuck.

Always use border glue if you are putting the border on a vinyl or glossy surface.

PAINTING and decorating can be great fun and doing-it-your-self will save hundreds of euro over the cost of hiring profes-sionals.

But what’s often missing is the expert advice that makes the dif-ference between a dodgy looking job and a quality finish.

Here are some professional wallpapering tips that’ll make your home look like a work of art.

START SIMPLE:If you’re a novice at wallpaper-

ing your best bet is to choose a relatively basic paper pattern that’s easy to ‘match’.

It is elevated and safe from lit-tle hands that may want to touch and explore everything.

Many small decorative objects can get lost in the decorating if they are scattered throughout the home. But they can have a wonderful impact when grouped together on the fireplace man-tle.

A display or collection will be very dramatic if a large painting, picture, mirror or wall hanging is hung above the mantle and be-hind the decorations.

Using a pair of dominant ob-jects if often effective and will provide a balanced look to the decorated mantle. Porcelains, figurines, vase with flowers or twigs, picture frames, candles, books, plants, decorative boxes,

small candlestick lamps (non-electric), your personal collec-tions all make perfect decorative

objects for decorating a mantle.Remember to elevate small

objects, such as placing a small figurine on top of books for inter-esting height variations.

Today’s popular decorating styles allow for creativity and choice when decorating the fire-place mantle. Eclectic decorating offers opportunities to decorate with an informal mix of deco-rative items, which can be dis-played many different ways.

A traditional interior will look better with a formal balanced arrangement. A contemporary decor should keep the mantle simple with just a few items of importance.

Pull out your treasures and add some items for height and interest that complements your colour scheme and style. Before you know it, you’ll have a beauti-ful fireplace mantle.

EVEN if you never actually get to light a real fire, the fireplace is probably the centrepiece of your home and the mantle is an ideal place to show off small collections and family treasures.

third level students are now learning to drive at a younger age than those who graduated prior to 2010.

Of those currently attending a third level institution, 53 per cent learnt how to drive at 17 com-pared to just under a third (32 per cent) of graduates of more than five years.

The survey also reveals the most common reason behind learning to drive is independence (68 per cent) followed by the fact that is “a good skill to have” (32 per cent).

Other factors include:•No available public transport

routes (32 per cent)•Motivated by parents (19 per

cent)•Motivated by friends (8 per

cent)Out of the 25 per cent of re-

spondents who have not obtained their driving licence yet, 57 per cent said it was because it was too expensive.

Leslee O’Loughlin, Group Hu-man Resources Manager at En-terprise Rent-a-Car, said the re-search comes at a crucial time
