When Taoiseach Enda Kenny announcedthe names of the Government’s newjunior ministers last Thursday, there wasgreat disappointment locally thatMalahide based Fine Gael TD, AlanFarrell was overlooked for one of theposts.

In a recent edition of the County Leader, weexpressed the great disappointment of manylocals that this constituency was overlookedwhen senior ministries were doled out. Asreported at the time, constituencieswith cabinet ministers statistically farebetter than those without them whenit comes to major infrastructuralprojects and jobs being distributed.We expressed the hope that theappointment of Deputy Farrell asjunior minister would go some way tocompensate for this, but this was notto be. This is particularly surprisingwhen one considers the fact that Farrell polledvery well at the last general election to retainhis seat, one of a minority of Fine Gael candi-dates to increase his vote substantially, whilsta major heave against his party was takingplace.He has also served with distinction on variousDail select committees, including Justice. Manyinsiders have suggested that Farrell would

have been a welcome addition to the ranks ofjunior ministers, with reports that variousGovernment departments regarding him as anasset to them.What is also curious to many people is the factthat 15 of the junior ministers came from theranks of Fine Gael, which when you considerthe greatly reduced Dail representation of theparty, the odds would have been stacked inFarrell’s favour, with less to choose from. Threeof the posts were filled by Independentdeputies, as part of the minority led Fine Gaelgovernment.

Speaking to the County Leader, Farrell,while clearly disappointed with beingoverlooked, was philosophical about thesituation. “It would have been great tohave been selected, but there are otherareas, which are less high profile, whereit is possible to influence policy andlegislation and I will be seeking tooperate there. I served as the Fine GaelChair on the Public Expenditure andReform committee and later on the

Justice committee. I have a lot of knowledgeand experience, especially in Justice and Iintend to apply for this position again. I amnow in my 13th year as a public representativeand hopefully, I will be successful in any futurepromotions that may come along.”“In the meantime, I intend to work hard onissues that affect my own constituency, wherethe demographic has changed dramatically.

The most pressing issue is now housing,followed by education and childcare and I willdo my utmost to devote my energies in thatdirection,” concluded Farrell.With Dublin Fingal and the former Dublin Northconstituency having the youngest, fastestgrowing population in the state, the decision toexclude both a senior and now a junior ministeris baffling to say the least. Even when DublinNorth was a four seater, we had a governmentMinister, in Dr JamesReilly at the cabinettable. Now that it’s afive seater is an evenmore compellingreason to have repre-sentation at this level.Dublin Airport, one ofthe fastest growingairports in Europe islocated in thisconstituency, as wellas the promised MetroNorth project. Manyresidents will nowbegin to doubt if thisproject will ever cometo fruition, and nowwith no minister toguide it over the line,doubts may well creepin, as to whether it hasa future. Other majorinfrastructural projectsthat need urgentattention include thecompletion of theWastewater system inRush, without whichraw sewage is contin-uing to flow on to thebeaches, makingtourism there impos-

sible. The electrification of the DART line as faras Balbriggan is another essential project thathas been promised, but will these be deliveredwithout a voice at Cabinet, or input at depart-mental level?It will be interesting to see if the neighbouringconstituency of Meath East, which received twojunior ministerial posts, with a much smallerpopulation than Dublin Fingal, will see a boostin job figures over the lifetime of this Dáil.

At the end of May, the Transition Years of MalahideCommunity School will head off to Killarney for theirannual cycling trip which has been running for manyyears now. In preparation for this trip, the studentstook part in a 10km practice cycle in Malahide, to getthe legs ready for the big cycle. This year it has been decided to use this 10km cycleto raise much needed funds for the Dublin SimonCommunity’s Mobile Health Clinic, which is in greatneed of replacement. The students have worked veryhard to gather these much needed funds and haveraised an amazing €5,000 (which includes €700 fromthe Transition Years Mentors 1916 CommemorationBadge sales). The cycle took place on the 18th May at11am and the students were blessed with goodweather.

John Samsone from the Dublin Simon Communitytold the County Leader, “This funding is vitallyimportant for the Dublin Simon Community. At themoment we have a service that is running for manyyears, called a Mobile Health Clinic, which isessentially a doctor’s surgery on wheels whichprovides for rough sleepers and homeless peoplein Dublin. The truck has seen better days and isconstantly breaking down and we urgently need anew health clinic . The funds from today’s cycle willgo directly to that, so €5,000 is a huge sum ofmoney. What the kids have done here is of massiveimportance to the homeless of Dublin, so a hugethank you to the students and teachers ofMalahide Community School for this wonderfulgesture,” he said.

Progress OnMalahide CyclewayThe Local Authority have finally approved funding for the longawaited cycleway set to go from Malahide to Sutton acrossMalahide Estuary. The development is known as the BroadmeadowWay and will provide a pedestrian and cycle way between Malahideand Sutton. This has been on the table for a number of years and Councillorshave been pushing for movement on it for some time now. Speaking to the County Leader, local Green Party Councillor, DavidHealy said; “It is good that this section has been prioritised andthat it is proceeding rapidly. What seems to have happened is thatresponsibility for this seems to have moved quite often due topeople changing jobs in the council its self, and that seems to haveslowed things down.” He concluded by saying; “For now though I am happy that it hasbeen recognised as a priority and that the council have respondedto the public’s request for movement on it. This has been on theagenda for four years and we were all quite surprised that it hastaken this long to become a priority for the council. It is part of abroader plan and we can only hope that the rest of the plan doesn’ttake as long as this part did. I’m just happy for now to see itmoving.” Design has already begun for the Baldoyle to Portmarnockcycleway which is the first part of a larger Coastal Walking andCycling route that will connect the whole of the North County andwill serve as a massive tourist attraction upon its completion.

There was disappointment forlocal councillor, Anthony Lavin(FG) recently when his proposalto monitor the water quality atLow Rock, Malahide, wasrejected by the council. Speaking to the County Leader,Cllr Lavin said; “I’m disap-pointed that Low Rock, which isrelatively safe, but is notpromoted as a designatedbathing spot , won’t be moni-tored. I’m confident that thewater quality is good there, asit is between Malahide andPortmarnock beach. I will keepgoing with the motion to makeLow Rock a designated bathingspot. At some point then, that

could be then presented for ablue flag. That is what is moti-vating me with the wholething.”

He went on to say; “The waterquality, which is normally aproblem for most places, isgood there, so it would just bea matter of addressing theinfrastructure of it to ensuresafety and turn it into a desig-nated bathing spot. I knowthere are many Low Rockbathers who are anxious to seethis happen.”The Council’s response statedthat while water quality will be

monitored atM a l a h i d ebeach, with theresults beingavailable on thepublic noticeboard at thebeach, theysimply statedthat there would be no moni-toring taking place in Low Rock,with no reason given as to why. Lavin concluded by saying;“Despite my disappointmentwith the fact that they won’t bemonitoring Low Rock, I wasglad to see that they are moni-toring the water quality inMalahide. I had beenconcerned that, as it’s notbeing presented for a blue flag,that it might have fallen outsideof the council’s priorities, so Iwas glad that it hasn’t.”

Transport Plans MustBe Made Clear”Local F ianna Fái l ,Darragh O’Brien TD hascal led for theGovernment to makeclear its transport plansfor the Capital followingthe appointment ofDeputy Shane Ross to theposition of Minister forTransport and the publi-cation of the programmefor government. Speaking to the CountyLeader, O’Brien said; “The new programme forgovernment is full of vague intentions andaspirational language about what the govern-ment would like to do. In the section of thedocument which deals with Transport there isa lack of detail and concrete commitments asto what the government will actually do.”“I welcome the continued promise to fundMetro North, complete the Luas Cross City andto increase the provision of wheelchair acces-sibility in the taxi fleet; but these had alreadybeen announced previously. The reality is thatthere were other large scale infrastructuralpublic transport projects planned for Dublinthat were scrapped by the previous Fine Gael-Labour coalition. Projects such as the DARTinterconnector need to be given considerationagain,” he added. He further stated that;“Capacity is a major issue in the city and isgetting worse. The Dublin Bus fleet is alreadystruggling at peak times. Minister Ross needsto devise a plan to increase the capacity,frequency and reliability of the Dublin Busfleet.”“Much progress has been made increasing thenumbers of cyclists in Dublin in recent years.The Dublin Bikes scheme has been a greatsuccess, but it should be extended to suburbsoutside of the city centre, and into other localauthority areas like Fingal and South DublinCoCo,” said O’Brien.“Over the weekend it was worrying to hearMinister Ross pitch himself in the role ofcommentator, rather than as the personresponsible for the nation’s public transportinfrastructure and strategy. Dublin needs aproactive attitude to public transport provi-s ion and not to embark on a hands-off ,laissez-faire approach” concluded DeputyO’Brien.

Itis well deserved because we have seen at first handhow useful this App is and how it can help the peopleof Fingal.” Claire McIntyre of the Project ManagementTeam said: “This was team effort from myself, HazelFarley and Brendan Cunningham of Pinpoint Alertsand we are delighted to have won this prestigiouscompetition. The App is one of several we have devel-oped and all have been devised to make things easierfor people to interact with Fingal County Council.”

Last week we asked localcouncillors whether ornot they felt a monumentto the LGBT movementwould be an appropriateaddition to the Swordscultural quarter that iscurrently in develop-ment. Some councillorswho hadn’t had theopportunity to respondto us by the time wewent to press last week,have since gotten intouch with us to let usknow their opinions:Phillip Lynam, Sinn Feinsaid; “In regards to yourquestion about themonument, I would haveno problem with onebeen erected in theNorth County at all and Ithink it would be a greatidea. This referendumwas such a honour tohave been a part of, wein Sinn Féin led thecharge in Fingalcanvassing for weeks onend meeting families andchatting to the LGBTcommunity door to doorbringing the message ofequality and fairnesswhich we strive forwithin our party. Wherewould the best place beto erect it? I am not sureon the exact place butwould support any ideabrought forward withconsultation as on anymonument beenerected.”JP Browne, Fine Gaelsaid; “I thought theequality referendum wasa giant stride forward,where the people ofIreland voted for a moreequal and just society. Itwas really somethingspecial to see all thepeople flying home fromall corners of the worldto cast their vote. I wouldwelcome a monument to

celebrate the movementand would be happy tosee it located in Fingal,Dublin or anywhere elsein the country.”Grainne Maguire,Independent said; “Iwould be very much infavour of a monument torepresent the LGBTmovement, however fullconsultation with thecommunity would beneeded. I certainly wouldsupport a more centrallocation in Dublin Cityespecially around DublinCastle which was verycentral to the celebra-tions last year.”Eugene Coppinger, AAA,said; “ I would have noproblem with a monu-ment, it is also importantto to make sure we getthe right spot for it, but Iwould have no problemwith it being in theSwords Cultural Quarter.There is still a lot of workto be done in relation toequality for the LGBTcommunity. Things likesection 37 beingamended because wehave teachers beingsubjected to discrimina-tion in schools etc., so Ithink that while thereferendum was afantastic victory, we stillhave a lot to do, so Ithink a monument wouldbe a great idea to honourthe work that was done.”We also ran a poll on ourwebsite where we askedyou to give your opinionon the same question,the results of that pollare that 62 percent ofpeople who took part inthe poll said that theywould like to see amonument to the LGBTmovement built in theSwords Cultural Quarter,

32.9 per cent said theywouldn’t like it at all,and 5.1 per cent saidthat they think a monu-ment is a good idea,however, ‘not in theirback yard‘.It is interesting to notethat the results of ourpoll almost exactlyreflect the results of themarriage referendumlast year, which was 62per cent in favour of GayMarriage and 38 percent against it.

O’Brien Sets OutAmbitious PlanFor Foreign AffairsRoleLocal TD, Darragh O’Brien has beenappointed Fianna Fáil spokesperson onForeign Affairs and Trade, following theannouncement of the Fianna Fáil front bench by party leader, MicheálMartin TD.Speaking to the County Leader, O’Briencommented “I am delighted tobe taking over a role with such aproud history within Fianna Fáil.Since our foundation, a positive,proactive and independent Irishforeign policy has been a coreelement of the party’s vision andhas facilitated Ireland playing animportant role in global affairs.We have often enjoyed a roleand influence far in excess of our size oreconomic output and it is Fianna Fáil’sbelief that we can and should continueto have those ambitions into the future.”When asked by the County Leader if hewould have preferred to have been giventhe Transport, Tourism and Sport port-folio, particularly with Metro North at adelicate stage and Dublin Airport atrecord levels of growth, he was very defi-nite. “You have to look at things from abroader perspective, as the front benchformulates party policy and we arealready fully committed to the delivery ofMetro North. From a trade point of view,the further expansion of Dublin airport isto be commended. Initially there was alevel of worry over the appointment ofShane Ross to Transport and Tourism,

but I will be meeting him shortly in rela-tion to projects for Dublin, the NorthCounty and Metro North in particular. On his new brief, O’Brien continued,“Ireland and Europe are facing into veryuncertain times. There is the immediatethreat of Britain voting to leave the EU, achronic and growing refugee crisis, anunpredictable Russia asserting itself onEurope’s borders, the ongoing politicaluncertainty in the US, ongoing conflictsacross the Middle East and Africa toname just a few. Ireland may not havethe capacity to solve all or indeed any ofthese issues, but we have an opportu-nity to assert our analysis as an indepen-

dent neutral Republic, with anemphasis on human rights, thedignity of the individual andrespect for minorities on theinternational stage,” he added. He went on to say; “Fianna Fáil’sintention, within the area ofForeign Affairs, is to bringforward policies and positionsthat build on our proud history,

addressing the challenges facing theEuropean and global community in 2016and helping to establish Irish thoughtleadership on the big issues we face.”“In the important area of trade, workingwith our diaspora and leveraging thenetwork of excellent Irish diplomaticactivity across the world is somethingthat has the enthusiastic support of myparty. I also look forward to bringingforward new thinking on how to deepenand expand this activity,” he said. O’Brien concluded by saying; “In theimmediate term, I look forward tomeeting with key stakeholders acrossthe sector and also playing our part inseeking to positively influence Irishvoters in the Brexit referendum.”

DIABETES & DENTAL CARE

Probably the greatestimpact of diabetes ondental health is that it canleave people more proneto gum disease. Mostpeople in the populationwill experience orencounter some degree ofgum disease (to a greateror lesser extent)throughout life. Gumdisease is caused by oralbacteria. Poor glycaemiccontrol as a complicationof diabetes can make gumdisease worse because itchanges the immuneresponse to thesebacteria. This is especiallyso if someone has expo-sure to high glucoselevels before diagnosis orstarting treatment fortheir diabetes.Gum disease may justaffect your teeth andgums, but can also bemore widespreadaffecting your overallgeneral health andglycaemic control. In itsearliest form (gingivitis), itcauses the gums to beinflamed so that theybleed on brushing andflossing. In its more

progressive and advancedform (periodontitis), itcauses bone and toothloss by destroying thetissues that support andhold your teeth in place.The best way of findingout if you have any gumproblems is to bescreened by a dentalprofessional. They canoften pick it up at a muchearlier stage by carefullyand gently probingaround the gums tomeasure the separationbetween the tooth and thegum (‘pocketing’). This isalso checked againstdental X-rays that recordthe bone levels aroundthe teeth.Having your teeth andgums checked regularlytends to be the best formof defence when it comesto making sure you don’trun into problems. Butdon’t forget – if you dohave problems, they areusually very easilymanaged. In general, theearlier they are diagnosedand treated the better.

EXERCISE ANDDIABETES

You’ll benefit from exer-cise in a number of ways.

It’ll lower your bloodglucose, your treatmentwill work more effectivelyand you may lose someweight. Exercise willstrengthen your musclesand joints. Exercise alsolowers your blood pres-sure, and can help withcholesterol management,both of which are good foryour heart. Finally, beingin good shape willincrease your self-confi-dence and help you feelgood about yourself.

BEFORE EXERCISINGCONSIDER

It is important that youchoose the kind andamount of exercise that isright for you and that youwill enjoy. Before youbegin an exerciseprogramme, you shouldconsider your generalhealth, your current phys-ical fitness and how wellyour diabetes iscontrolled. Discuss yourchoice of exercise withyour diabetes care team. Ifyou have complicationsfrom diabetes or otherhealth problems, theremay be some sports thatare more suitable for youthan others. It’s a good

idea to test your bloodsugar after exercise. If it isnormal or low, you shouldeat some more carbohy-drates. Be aware thathypoglycaemia candevelop several hoursafter a hard exercisesession if you are takingsome kinds of diabetesmedicine. If you are takingsuch treatments and youexercise late in the day,you should be particularlyaware of hypoglycaemiaduring the night and eatan extra large carbohy-drate based snack atbedtime. You may alsoneed to eat extra foodsrich in carbohydrate, suchas pasta, the followingday.

EMOTIONAL STRESS & DIABETES

The link betweendiabetes and depressionis well documented. Being diagnosed andliving with diabetes canaffect people in verydifferent ways. Whilesome may find copingwith diabetes has verylittle impact on day-to-day life, others may findthat it has turned theirlives upside down.

own personal way todeal with these feelings,but for some theycontinue to struggle tocome to terms with howtheir diabetes makesthem feel. For somepeople with diabetesthese feelings candevelop into depres-sion. Although peoplewith diabetes have ahigher chance ofshowing signs ofdepression, not allpeople with diabeteswho are finding it chal-lenging develop depres-sion. If you are experi-encing any stress oremotional anxiety please contact yourlocal counsellor.

Finding diabetes diffi-cult to cope with doesnot mean that you aredoing something wrong.Many people withdiabetes who we speakto feel that at somepoint in their lives, theirdiabetes causes them tofeel like they are notcoping. Many feel alone.The physical impact ofdiabetes is wellreported but theemotional impact is stillnot always recognised.Diabetes can have anemotional impact, espe-cially around diagnosis,starting insulin, and ondeveloping complica-tions.
