Government Funding for local Clubs: Although these small grants will be most welcome and useful to the respective clubs and organisations they are in the larger scheme of things very insignificant. It’s a sad reflection on our 4 local Government TD’s that there is still no sign of Lucan getting it’s much needed Swimming pool. A swimming pool and associated recreational and community halls in the centre of Lucan would have a major impact on the wellbeing and health of the people of Lucan both young and not so young. The people of Lucan won’t be hoodwinked by positive spins from Government press office as election time approach’s. We need a modern pool and community facility.  I have put the provision of a swimming pool on the agenda of this month’s Lucan Area Council meeting.
