burma garage site willington lane
Posted on September 07, 2008
RE: Amendments to previously approved planning permission ref number SD04A/0182. New reference number SD08A/0501. For the development of 1 & 2 Wellington Cottages and site between 1 Wellington Cottage and 45 Wellington Lane, Dublin 6W
I have been in contact with a number of residents in the Willington lane area who are concerned about the planned development of the above-mentioned site. They have no objection in principle to developing the old Burma garage site and would be delighted to see the area cleaned up.
However, they are concerned that the proposed new structures will not be in keeping with the other building in the area and could result in a devaluing of the house prices in the locality.

I received a request from a resident in Orwell Park Dale to provide a bin in the walkway between the parking space behind Orwell Park shopping centre and the Watercourse.I submitted the request to SDCC and I am following it up to ensure the speedy installation of a much needed bin to deal with the constant littering in the area.
fundraising race night
Posted on September 07, 2008
Dear Friends
My campaign for the 2009 local elections starts now as I set about raising the finance necessary to print posters, leaflets, campaign cards, buy advertising space etc. It will be an expensive exercise and unfortunately I don’t have a wealthy benefactor to help me out so I have no option but to ask for your assistance.
To be successful I need the backing of all of the members of the constituency. Please help in anyway you can and ask your friends, family and business associates for their support also.
I am running a race night on Saturday 20th September in Templeogue United Clubhouse @8pm and I would really appreciate it if you could come along on the night and bring some friends with you.
road resurfacing orwell park heights
Posted on April 15, 2008
The road surface on Orwell Park Heights, Templeogue was in an appalling state following repair works carried out over a number of years. At the request of some residents I made representation to SDCC and as a result resurfacing work was carried out without delay.road safety survey on osprey drive
Posted on April 14, 2008
Following a number of complaints from the residents of Osprey Drive I have been conducting a survey on road safety in the area. We are aware that there has been an ongoing problem with irresponsible drivers speeding and driving dangerously on the stretch of road from Willington roundabout to the back gate of Tymon Park.
At the request of a number of residents we are compiling a petition that will be completed by the end of April at which time we will pass it on to SDCC. I will then meet with my colleague Cllr Eamon Walsh and we will ensure that appropriate action is taken to resolve this matter in accordance with the wishes of the majority of the residents.

Posted on April 14, 2008
I contacted the Parks Department of SDCC on behalf of a number of residents who wanted open space areas adjacent to their homes cleaned up and made more presentable. This work was carried out by the residents with the assistance of Michelle in the Parks Department who supplied top soil, planting and waste removable. We are very grateful for their assistance.
removal of tree adjacent to tempelogue house
Posted on April 06, 2008
I received a complaint from a resident who lives adjacent to Tempelogue House regarding a large tree that was growing from the grounds of the house and over the wall into her garden. The tree was in such a dangerous state that she was in fear of it collapsing through her bedroom and kitchen windows. This had been going on for some time, and no-one would take the responsibility of dealing with it. I contacted the Parks Department and the tree has now been removed to the delight of the resident.
