Trees in Ringsend Park
Just after 9am this morning I spoke to workmen from the City Council who were cutting down trees in Ringsend Park. I asked them to stop as there hasn’t been proper consultation with residents about phase two of the park development. I know this because I am a resident. I was involved from the beginning in the phase 1 development - the refurbishment of the playground, and most residents are very pleased that this is going ahead. However, nobody that I know has seen the plan for phase 2. I rang Kevin Humphreys of the Labour party to arrange a meeting for early on Saturday morning. I hope the matter can be resolved to the satisfaction of all the interested parties.
I put out a statement on Judge Harding Clark’s criticism of the HSE.
I’m trying to catch up with constituency work from home. This evening I will attend a graduation ceremony in Clanna na Gael for Ringsend District Response to Drugs (RDRD). Minister Noel Ahern is the guest of honour.
I intend to do a major revamp of this site in the coming weeks. Watch this space.
