Donaghmede ward councillor 

Killian Forde (Lab) will vacate 

his seat on Dublin City 

Council before taking up a highpowered 

position with a non-governmental 

organisation (NGO) 

at the beginning of April. 

The seat will be returned to 

Sinn Féin, for whom Cllr Forde 

originally won the seat in the 

2009 Local Elections. Under 

electoral law, following the resignation 

of a councillor, the seat reverts 

to the party for which he or 

she was originally elected. 

Micheal Mac Donncha, a 

Sinn Féin representative for Donaghmede, 

will now be co-opted

Destruction of playground 

angers community 

THE playground at a Coolock park dedicated to the memory 

of 48 young people killed in the Stardust fire tragedy has been 

completely destroyed in an arson attack. 

It is estimated that the wanton act of vandalism, which was 

carried out by mindless thugs last Tuesday night (March 8), 

could cost up to €15,000 to repair. 

The attack occurred just three weeks after a special service

● DISGRACE: The playground after it was damaged in the arson attack. 

Destruction of playground angers community 

From page 1 

The destruction of the playground, which 

was gutted in the attack, has caused huge anger in 

the local community. 

Antoinette Keegan, whose two sisters Mary 

and Martina were killed in the fire, condemned 

those responsible for the vandalism. 

“It’s an absolute disgrace,” she stormed. 

“That park was put there in memory of the 

48 people who died in the fire and as a means of 

bringing the community together with a facility 

that could be used and enjoyed by both young 

and old. 

“This just adds insult to injury. Dublin City 

Council went to great expense to put that playground 

in.” 

Artane, Whitehall ward councillor Larry 

O’Toole (SF) has condemned the vandalism. 

“I am disgusted at this wanton, senseless attack 

on a much used facility in the park,” said Cllr 

O’Toole. 

“For anyone to get pleasure or enjoyment 

from this type of scandalous anti-social activity 

is beyond belief. 

“An arson attack at this location is particularly 

insensitive in a park that commemorates the

victims of the Stardust fire tragedy. 

“It is a disgusting insult to the family members 

of the victims of the fire.” 

A spokesman for Dublin City Council confirmed 

that a substantial amount of damage had 

been caused and that the cost assessment of the 

vandalism would take a number of days to complete. 

“We have to determine what can be salvaged 

and as of yet the cost of the clean-up and the 

damage isn’t clear,” he told Northside People. 

The 20-acre Stardust Memorial Park is located 

between Greencastle Road and Adare 

Road, along the Santry River. 

Its centrepiece is a life-size bronze sculpture 

of a dancing couple, set in a pool with 48 fountain 

jets. 

The park, which was formerly a monastic site, 

also features a pond, seating area and an allweather 

floodlit pitch in addition to the children’s 

playground. 

The park, which opened in 1993, was established 

through the support and co-operation of 

the local community, FAS and the Stardust Victims’ 

Committee and financed by Dublin City 

Council and the Government.

Sinn Féin to reclaim Forde’s council seat 

From page 1 

Cllr Forde raised a few eyebrows 

in January 2010 when he 

quit Sinn Féin over a dispute relating 

to the 2010 Dublin City 

Council budget and opted to join 

Labour. 

A huge vote getter in local 

elections, Cllr Forde was unsuccessful 

in his bid to secure one of 

Labour’s two nominations for the 

Dublin North East constituency 

in the general election. Tommy 

Broughan and Sean Kenny were 

chosen on the party’s ticket and 

duly took two of the three available 

seats. 

In the weeks leading up to 

last month’s general election, it is 

understood that Fine Gael attempted 

to poach Forde from 

Labour and add him to their 

Dublin North East ticket as Terence 

Flanagan’s running mate. 

However, Cllr Forde ultimately 

rejected these overtures on 

the basis that his credibility 

would be questioned if he moved 

to a third political party. 

Cllr Forde is now looking forward 

to his new role as chief executive 

of the Integration Centre, 

an immigrant rights NGO. 

“I’d applied for this job back 

in June 2010 and my decision to

take it was irrespective of what 

happened at the selection convention,” 

he told Northside People. 

“This job suits me better than 

electoral politics. To be honest it’s 

an ideal job for me. 

“It a good opportunity for me 

to develop my career and not to 

have to depend on being in the 

right place at the right time, 

which is often what politics is 

about. 

“It’s unbelievably hard to 

plan and often it’s a case that you 

get a seat if someone resigns or 

dies.” 

Cllr Forde insisted that although 

he put his name into the 

hat for the Dublin North East 

Labour Party selection convention, 

he held out little hope of getting 

on the ticket. 

“I knew I wasn’t going to be 

selected because I would have 

needed to have been with the 

party a few more years,” he explained. 

“I knew this ahead of time 

and did consider taking my name 

out of the running but was advised 

that it would do me no 

harm to keep my name in.” 

Cllr Forde, who will remain a 

councillor until the start of April, 

said he will still have some political 

involvement, albeit from the 

other side of the fence in his new 

role. 

“The position is highly political 

in that I will be lobbying and 

staying within the political fold to 

campaign for the rights of immigrants,” 

he added. 

“I would never say never 

when it comes to whether I’d get 

back into politics but I think the 

electoral system would have to 

change first. 

“With politicians you build 

up your support and loyalty by 

going door-to-door but that does- 

n’t make you qualified to make 

decisions and appropriate 

changes to legislation and Governmental 

policies.” 

Meanwhile, Sinn Fein’s 

Micheal Mac Donncha said it 

will be a great honour to represent 

the people of Donagmede, 

Kilbarrack, Raheny, Edenmore, 

Harmonstown and Clongriffin. 

“The people elected a Sinn 

Féin councillor to this seat in 

2004 and again in 2009,” Mr 

Mac Donncha told Northside People. 

“I am glad that the seat has 

now come back to Sinn Féin and

ambition for Luke 

AUGUST 29, 2012, may seem a 

long way away for some. However, 

for a young Northside footballer 

that date can’t come soon enough. 

Luke Evans, from Artane, is hoping 

to be part of the Irish football team 

heading to the 2012 Paralympic 

Games in London. 

A total of 4,500 athletes from 120 

countries will be competing in the 

event, which will run parallel to the 

Olympic Games. 

The games provide an opportunity 

for athletes with physical disabilities to 

compete for gold in front a global audience 

in excess of one billion people. 

The team plays 7-a-side football on 

a slightly smaller 11-a-side pitch. Ireland 

is currently ranked sixth in the 

world and the goal is to reach the 

podium at the 2012 Games. 

Luke told Northside People: “Playing 

for my country is a truly great honour.

Cllr Nial Ring (Ind) said he would like to take Queen Elizabeth 

to the GPO, Moore Street or into the heartland of Ballybough 

to illustrate how many people lost their lives fighting for 

Irish independence. 

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh’s visit is expected to 

take place over three days in May. 

It is understood that the Queen will make a major speech in 

Dublin Castle on the relations between the two countries. 

Cllr Ring accepted that a visit from the Queen was now inevitable, 

despite his protestations.. 

“I was of course vehemently opposed to the visit but it now 

seems set in stone,” he said. 

“We are going to have to make the best of it and hopefully 

the visit can be used in a positive way towards reconciliation. 

“However, I would like it if she visited the GPO, Moore 

Street or if I could take her to my home or into the Ballybough 

community where I could explain my situation as a member of 

one of the families that gave so much for Irish freedom and I’d 

like her to apologise.”

Councillor seeks apology from Queen 

A NORTHSIDE councillor whose granduncle translated 

the national anthem into Irish, hopes that the Queen of 

England will apologise for “crimes” against the Irish people 

when she visits Ireland in May. 

grandparents and their brothers’ families so that the “healing 

can begin”. 

“Put it this way, I don’t think my mother will be rushing 

out to buy a hat and going to the parade,” he stated. 

“I won’t be going to the parade either. 

“Although in saying that I would attend a civic reception 

if one was held in the hope that I could use it as an opportunity 

to pass on a few words about our history.” 

Cllr Ring’s granduncle, Liam O Rinn, translated the 

‘Soldier’s Song’, composed by Peadar Kearney and Patrick 

Heeney, into the Irish version, ‘Amhann na bhFiann’. 

He revealed how his ancestors’ involvement in the 

“fight for Ireland” would always be a part of who he is. 

“My mother is still living in the house that was 

used as a safe house in the late 1910s,” added Cllr 

Ring. 

“My grandfather was a carpenter and over 

the years we would find little hidden panels in 

the walls and under the stairs which I assume 

came in useful in the raids. 

“Several people who would have been informers 

were actually taken from the house 

for execution. 

“We have a great picture of my great 

grandmother standing on Ballybough 

bridge watching as her five sons march to 

the GPO for battle.” 

Government’s review of hospital site welcomed 

A TOP Dublin doctor has welcomed news that the Government 

is to review the proposed location for the new children’s hospital. 

445-bed hospital. 

“We are all in favour of having 

a children’s hospital where 

all the specialist services are 

under one roof but I don’t think 

it is wise to rush into the project 

without re-examining that the 

location is suitable,” he told 

Northside People. 

“I don’t think there was sufficient 

expertise put into the initial 

decision to locate the 

hospital at the Mater as the 

process was mainly handled by 

civil servants. 

“It is vital that we get the location 

right given how much the 

project will cost and how it will 

be built to serve children for 

decades to come. 

“The decision making 

process was very flawed which is 

why it needs to be reviewed.” 

Campaigners have repeatedly 

called for the location to be 

reviewed on the basis that the 

inner city Mater site location 

poses significant obstacles due to 

heavy traffic, parking restrictions 

and a lack of space for expansion. 

The entire project, which is 

due to be completed in 2015, is 

expected to cost €650 million. 

Unsuitable 

Dr Breathnach, who has 30 

years’ experience working with 

the country’s sickest children in 

Crumlin and Temple Street Hospital, 

said that while he wasn’t 

opposed to the Mater site, the 

majority of parents he’s dealt 

with believe it is unsuitable. 

“From speaking to parents I 

found that about 90 per cent of 

them didn’t believe that the 

Mater was a suitable location for 

the hospital,” he stated. 

Traffic 

“You have to remember that 

parents from all over the country 

will be taking their children there 

for treatment, so someone travelling 

from Tralee will not only 

have the drive to Dublin to contend 

with but an additional hour 

or so of driving through city traffic 

to get to the Mater. 

“Also worth considering is 

the major traffic disruption in 

the area when there is a match 

or a concert on in Croke Park.” 

Meanwhile, chairman of the 

National Paediatric Hospital 

Development Board, John Gallagher, 

has indicated that the 

Mater site is suitable for the development 

of the national children's 

hospital. 

As per the current proposal, 

the hospital would comprise 392 

single inpatient beds and 53 day 

care beds. 

The project also includes 13 

operating theatres, 1,000-space 

car park, private clinics and retail 

units.

Local woman reaches 

healthy milestone 

A LOCAL woman has become the 1,000th participant in a community-based 

project that promotes healthy eating. 

Ina McDonnell reached the milestone after completing the 

‘Healthy Food Made Easy’ (HFME) course. 

The HFME is a peer-led project that aims to help people learn 

about healthy eating and healthy cooking in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. 

The project was first set up in 2006 as a partnership between the 

HSE Health Promotion Services and Northside Partnership in 

Coolock. 

The course, which is delivered by local women who are trained 

and supported by the HSE’s Community 

Dietician, comprises six sessions. 

Each session includes basic nutri- 

Free 

Great Styles Available 

tion theory and also a practical cooking 

element. The emphasis throughout the 

programme is on group learning and 

participation. 

Methods used include group discussion, 

worksheets and handouts, 

quizzes, problem-solving games, as well 

as the enjoyment of participating in 

preparing, cooking and tasting nutritious 

food. 

Topics covered include healthy 

shopping habits, tips to increase your 

fruit and vegetable and fibre intake, 

how to read food labels, information on 

healthy fats, family food issues such as 

fussy eating in children and junk food 

in teenagers. 

Ms McDonnell was one of a group 

of 18 participants who completed the 

recent HFME course in the Artane 

Coolock Resource Centre. 

Each participant received their certificate, 

a budget cookery book, ‘101 

square meals’, which is supported by 

the Money Advice Budgeting Service 

(MABS), and a gift to mark this milestone 

in the project’s progress. 

Local woman Maura Lawlor, who 

has been involved with the project since 

its inception in 2006, delivered the course.

Business blooms for 

Dragons’ Den gardeners 

AN ingenious home gardening kit designed by a Northsider and 

his business partner has been flying off the shelves since the product 

was promoted on Dragons’ Den. 

Portmarnock native Martin 

Hendricken says he’s been getting 

lots of calls and a “steady flow” 

of orders from people keen to try 

out this magically simple garden- 

by Jessica Magee 

ing system for themselves. 

GrowRings, created by Flat- 

pack Gardening Solutions Ltd, is 

one of those products that you 

wish you had thought of yourself. 

It comprises two strips of terracotta-coloured 

polypropylene 

which slot together in seconds to 

make a ring for planting fruit, 

vegetables, herbs or flowers. 

● SOWING THE SEEDS FOR SUCCESS: The GrowRings gardening kit has been flying off the shelves since the 

product was promoted on Dragons’ Den. 

In essence, it’s a “raised bed 

for dummies” that can be placed 

on soil, wood or concrete, either 

in traditional gardens or in more 

awkward spaces like balconies or 

patios. 

Speaking to Northside People, 

Martin says his background in 

sales and marketing certainly 

helped plant a seed in the mind 

of two influential Dragons’ Den 

gurus, Sean Gallagher and Bobby 

Kerr, who have invested €40,000 

in the company. 

“We were delighted,” he 

states. “The dragons have the 

ability to make you look good or 

bad, and when you go in you 

never know how you’re going to 

be portrayed. 

“But we have a lot of confidence 

in the product. We think 

it’s a winner, and it’s heartening 

to have the dragons fully behind 

us.” 

Industrial designer and gardener 

David Roberts developed 

the idea for GrowRings. 

David had been a consultant 

for Martin’s small business selling 

plastic displays, and the two men 

got together last August to form 

Flatpack Gardening Solutions. 

“It’s a bit difficult and scary 

starting a business at any time,” 

says Martin. 

“We spent a fair bit on branding 

and marketing. But the Dragons 

will be giving us PR advice, 

● WELL-PLOTTED: David Roberts and Martin Hendricken enticed two 

of the dragons to part with some of their money. 

and they can open lots of doors 

for us. 

“They will be staying in constant 

touch with us and giving us 

their hands-on expertise, and 

after all they have invested in us, 

it’s great to have their support.” 

The up-to-the-minute product 

taps into the growing trend of 

people growing their own fruit 

and vegetables at home. 

“The way things are going, 

more and more people are trying 

their hand at gardening,” states 

Martin. 

“People have more time and 

less money, and homegrown veg 

can save householders a few bob 

and give them a healthier diet 

too.” 

The timing of the Dragons’ 

Den programme was also convenient, 

just before the start of 

the growing season. 

“It’s a popular show anyway, 

and we got over 10 minutes on 

prime time TV at a time when 

people badly wanted a break 

from politics,” states Martin. 

The company has organised 

stands to display the GrowRings 

at the upcoming Bloom Festival 

and the Ideal Homes Exhibition. 

They’re also developing an exciting 

new range of flatpack gardening 

products including a 

strawberry planter, a potato tray, 

a series of stackable GrowRings 

to create a rockery effect, and a 

semi-circular kit for wall growing. 

An EU patent for GrowRings 

is also on the way which could 

allow this small Northside business 

to revolutionise the home 

gardening market altogether. 

Aspiring gardeners concerned 

that the GrowRings come 

without a base can always slot 

some heavy duty plastic underneath 

before they fill the rings 

with compost. 

“If you’re putting the 

GrowRing on pavement or a 

patio just insert a weed mat to retain 

the soil - there’s no seepage, 

and the locking mechanism will 

hold the sides together without 

bursting, with no screws or fixings,” 

adds Martin.

A TREE planting project is

Substantial bulb planting

Dublin North TD Brendan

“I am also informed that 

plans for allotments in the 

Balbriggan area are currently 

being looked at with a view 

to identifying a suitable site 

within council ownership. 

“The people of Cardy 

Rock and Balbriggan can be 

assured that I will continue 

to pursue these matters on 

their behalf with council 

management.”

I Am Number Four 

JOHN is an extraordinary 

teen with a secret identity, 

trying to pass himself off as a 

high school student. 

review by Sarah Purcell 

He is being traced by an evil 

enemy – the Mogadorians - who 

want to destroy him. Three have already 

been killed. He is number four. 

Each time one of the nine survivors 

from his home planet, ‘Lorien’, 

die, John (Alex Pettyfer) gets a 

scar on his ankle. When he gets his 

third scar it’s a sign he’s next. 

But what’s so extraordinary 

about an alien teenager with glowing 

hands and super strength? ‘I Am 

Number Four’ – directed by DJ 

Caruso - doesn’t exactly explain the 

background to its story, as in why 

this charm is put on the survivors 

and why they are being murdered in 

a specific order. 

John, when starting school in a 

new town, is told by his protector 

and bodyguard Henri (Timothy 

Olyphant) to be “invisible”, he simply 

puts his hood up - a great disguise... 

not! - and within the first 10 

minutes he catches the eye of a girl, 

Sarah (Diana Agron), and has a run 

in with the school bullies. 

I Am Number Four is just 

straight out boring, but if you make 

it to the last half an hour you might 

start enjoying it. Other than ugly 

bald guys with sharp teeth following 

John around the only other interesting 

thing in the film is a shape-shifting 

dog. 

Based on the young adult science 

fiction novel by Pittacus Lore, I Am 

Number Four, in my opinion, compares 

in many ways to Twilight. For 

instance, we have the Edward-Bella 

relationship in the latter and the 

John-Sarah relationship here. 

In Twilight it’s a vampire loving 

a human, in I Am Number Four it’s 

an alien loving a human. 

If you do spend your money to 

go see this movie, if it’s not for the 

shape-shifting dog it’ll be for Number 

6 (played by Teresa Palmer). 

She’s a badass girl who instead of 

Tickets 

¤49 

spending her life running from her 

enemy, she spends it going after 

them. 

I felt Alex Pettyfer didn’t belong 

as the lead in this film. I didn’t think 

he was in touch with his supernatural 

role, although I felt he worked 

well with Diana Agron. I think Timothy 

Olyphant played a good part 

both as protector and potential father 

of John. 

Battle of the Blues event for Croker

a facelift. 

Botanic team plots 

a garden facelift 

THE garden at a special needs school in Beaumont received 

a much-needed facelift recently when a crack team of volunteers 

from the Botanic Gardens in Glasnevin got to work. 

The 16-strong team, all students from the Amenity Horticultural 

Fetac Level 5 course, gave up a day to renovate grounds 

at St Paul's Special School, Beaumont Woods. 

Blessed with beautiful spring weather in which to carry out 

the work, the team tackled a half-acre plot, which was badly in 

need of some TLC. 

The school's perennial border was given a good tidy up, beds 

were replanted and four raised beds were renovated so that the 

school's 45 children would be able to grow their own vegetables. 

The team also renovated a sensory garden, tidying up and 

replanting it with plants specifically chosen to appeal to the children's 

senses of touch, sight, sound and smell. 

The school's gardener, Ann Mulhern, helped the team on 

the day and was delighted with the results. 

The team was grateful to all those who donated plants for 

the project including Sylvia Jones, Swords, Teagasc, Kinsealy 

and the Castle Garden, Drumcondra.

● Oakleaf’s Cormac O’Neill, Michael Scullion and Shane McFlynn show off the FPDC Gold Award. 

Work on T2 leads to prestigious award 

ONE of Ireland’s leading specialist dry wall partition and ceiling contractors 

has won a prestigious award for its completion of a €24 million 

contract at Dublin Airport. 

Oakleaf Contracts, which operates 

from offices in Dublin, Northern 

Ireland and London, beat off competition 

from across Britain and Ireland 

to pick up the FPDC Gold Award in 

London for the ‘Best Drylining Commercial 

Contract Over £1 million’ for 

the internal partitions in Dublin Airport’s 

new ‘T2’ Terminal building. 

The largest project of its kind in 

Ireland last year, the T2 contract comprised 

new arrivals and departures 

areas, retail facilities, 19 new aircraft 

stands, check-in areas and associated 

infrastructure, and included the in- 

stallation of metal stud partitions, 

load bearing partitions, plasterboard 

and suspended ceilings. 

Ian Pollitt of the FPDC judging 

panel said: “This is without doubt the 

finest piece of drywall I have had the 

pleasure to judge in 20 years. 

“I have never seen a contract that 

200 men have worked on that is such 

a high standard of work throughout.

Swords gears 

up for parade 

AFTER an absence of at least a decade, a St Patrick’s 

Day Parade will take place in Swords this week. 

Swords Le Chéile, the group 

behind last year’s hugely successful 

‘Sounds of Summer’ festival, 

has spent months planning 

what promises to be a joyous 

and memorable local event. 

Clowns 

Among the highlights of the 

parade will be performing 

clowns from Fossett’s Circus, 12 

local hip hop dancers, displays 

of vintage cars, military vehicles 

and special shows by the Fingal 

Mummers. 

Chairman of Swords Le 

Chéile Joe Harford told Northside 

People that the main aim of

the parade will be to bring together 

everyone who lives and 

works in Swords. 

“We hope to generate a renewed 

sense of community for 

the many thousands of men, 

women and children living locally, 

and to revive the tradition 

of a St Patrick’s Day Parade in 

Swords that celebrates all that is 

best in Ireland - the food, the 

dancing, the fun and the craic,” 

said Mr Harford. 

Community 

Tony Lambert, chief executive 

of Fingal Dublin Chamber, 

said the emphasis during the 

Swords event would be very 

much on the participation of 

local community, voluntary and 

sporting groups. 

“We want to give recognition 

to as many local clubs and organisations 

as possible, and this 

is their chance to highlight the 

great work they do,” stated Mr 

Lambert. 

“The parade will have everything 

from local boxing, football 

and cricket clubs to a colour 

party by the local FCA group 

marching to the national anthem.” 

Other clubs showing off 

their skills will include Swords 

Cycle Club, Swords Celtic Football 

Club, the Seamus Ennis Cultural 

Centre, the Swords branch 

of the Irish Girl Guides, the 

Sporting Fingal Power Chair 

Football Team and the Association 

of Cameroonians in Ireland. 

Mayor 

Acting Mayor of Swords, 

Cllr Tom Kelleher, will arrive by 

vintage car to view the parade at 

the official reviewing stand outside 

the Star Lounge. 

The town of Swords will be 

decked out in bunting for the 

event, which kicks off from the 

Pavilions Shopping Centre car 

park at 12.30pm on Thursday. 

The parade will travel down 

Main Street and into North 

Street, and these streets will be 

closed until mid-afternoon. Best 

of all, the parade will be followed 

by a Céilí Mór on Main 

Street, with music and dancing 

for young and old. 

Tony Lambert urged local 

businesses to make a special effort 

to promote St Patrick’s Day 

for the whole week.

● IWA member Oisin Putt (8) helps launch the organisation’s St Patrick’s Day Angel Pin 

campaign. 

IWA aims 

to pin down 

volunteers 

THE old tradition of wearing a 

badge on St Patrick’s Day is being 

revived this year thanks to the Irish 

Wheelchair Association (IWA). 

The Clontarf-based organisation will 

be selling its distinctive St Patrick’s Day 

Angel Pins for €2 each throughout the 

city on Wednesday, March 16. 

The IWA is hoping to raise €500,000 

so that they can continue to provide an estimated 

two million hours of service for 

wheelchair users every year. 

They have enlisted the help of members 

of the Dublin Fire Brigade to help sell 

the pins at various locations across the city 

in the run-up to St Patrick’s Day, but IWA 

fundraising director Helen Martyn says 

they urgently need more volunteers to help 

out. 

“We’re really asking anyone who 

might have a few hours to spare and who 

would like to support a local cause to assist 

us in selling our Angel Pins, so if you 

think you can help, give us a call on 01 

8186469,” she said. 

Every euro raised from the sale of the 

pins is invested in the IWA’s services in 

Clontarf, which include education, training 

and social inclusion programmes for 

people with disabilities living in north 

Dublin. 

Other important services provided by 

the IWA include independent living apartments, 

a holiday and respite centre, a motoring 

school and a resource centre which 

caters for over 130 people with physical 

disabilities every week.

Exciting events lined up 

for St Patrick’s Festival 

THE good people behind the 2011 St Patrick’s Day Festival, 

which takes place from March 16-20, have come up 

with a cracker of a theme this year. 

After a period that has seen 

hundreds of thousands lose their 

jobs and the country plunged into 

the worst debt of a generation, 

this week’s national festivities are 

bound to get Irish eyes smiling. 

A sweet and uplifting short 

story by Northside author Roddy 

From left, Peter Mc Kenna, Croke Park, Niamh Mc Groden, Croke Park, 

John Kelly and Deirdre Merrigan, both from AIB Drumcondra and Alan Gallagher, Croke Park. 

AIB would like to congratulate our customers, Croke Park, 

who were Highly Commended within the Environmental 

Sustainability category, at the SFA National Small Business 

Awards 2011.

Doyle is the inspiration for the St 

Patrick’s Day parade, and each of 

Ireland’s leading pageant companies 

will interpret a chapter of the 

story in their own colourful and 

inimitable style. 

The story, ‘Brilliant’, was 

commissioned by the festival organisers 

in recognition of 

Dublin’s designation as UN- 

ESCO City of Literature. 

Quest 

It tells the tale of how two young 

children manage to reclaim 

Dublin’s “funny bone” by defeating 

the “Black Dog” of depression 

hanging over the city. Their quest 

involves enlisting help from the 

animals in Dublin Zoo, some unusual 

leprechauns, and hundreds 

of other children…it’s all perfect 

parade material, and forms a fitting 

centrepiece for what promises 

to be five jam-packed days of spectacular 

entertainment. 

The literary theme will be reflected 

across the festival, particularly 

in a new ticketed event 

scheduled for the day after St 

Patrick’s Day. DublinSwell - 

Words and Voices from the City 

of Literature - will take place in 

Dublin’s Convention Centre and 

will feature performances from 

some of Ireland’s best-loved writ- 

ers. 

Famous local faces reading 

on the night will include Cathy 

Kelly, Joseph O’Connor, Ross 

O’Carroll-Kelly, Sebastian Barry 

and Nobel Laureate Seamus 

Heaney. Popular broadcaster 

Mike Murphy will play the role 

of Master of Ceremonies for the 

event. 

Great Irish writers will also 

figure in this year’s free Literary 

Treasure Hunt on Saturday, 

March 19, where participants of 

all ages will get cracking at the 

clues and conundrums hidden in 

some of Dublin’s well-known cultural 

venues. 

Another event, ‘How Ireland 

Finds its Voice’, will look at how 

the Irish literary tradition has progressed 

into film, TV, radio, theatre 

and music. That debate will 

take place in the O’Callaghan 

Alexander Hotel on March 16. 

Music 

But if literature is the overarching 

theme of the 2011 St 

Patrick’s Festival, music plays an 

equally important role, and one 

of the most eagerly-awaited 

events this year is the Commitments’ 

20th Anniversary Reunion 

Concert. 

The stars of Dublin’s most famous 

soul band get together at 

the O2 on March 19 for the first 

time since the making of the film 

‘The Commitments’ in 1991. 

Another hotly-anticipated gig 

will be held at the National Con- 

● TRAD QUEEN: Sharon Shannon will take to the stage at the National 

Concert Hall as part of the festival. 


the northside people

cert Hall on the same night, when 

trad queen Sharon Shannon takes 

to the stage. 

This year’s festivities tie in 

with Seachtain na Gaeilge, and 

Dublin will play host to an explosion 

of Irish language and 

music events all week. 

Some other exciting events 

scheduled as part of this year’s 

festival include the annual rowing 

race on the River Liffey between 

UCD and Trinity on St Patrick’s 

Day, an improv comedy show in 

the Laughter Lounge, a programme 

of Irish films in the 

Screen cinema, and a Festival 

Road Race through the streets of 

Georgian Dublin on March 20, 

hosted by Irish Olympian and 

former Grand Marshal Eamon 

Coghlan. 

Injection 

The five-day festival will provide 

a vital cash injection for the 

city, and organisers are hoping 

that this year’s profits will exceed 

last year’s total estimated return 

of €50.5 million. 

Other figures showed that 

120,000 visitors from overseas attended 

the festival with 61 per 

cent booking into Dublin hotels 

or guesthouses. 

Confidence 

Frank Magee of Dublin 

Tourism has expressed confidence 

that the 2011 St Patrick’s 

Festival will kickstart the revival 

of Irish tourism. 

“This year, it is more important 

than ever that Ireland sends 

out a signal that all is well, we are 

open for business, visitors will get 

a great welcome and the value to 

be had has never been better,” he 

said.

TRIPLE world boxing champion and Olympic contender Katie 

Taylor will follow in the footsteps of a long line of sporting legends 

when she leads the St Patrick’s Day Parade on March 17. 

The 24-year-old is one of 

the youngest ever figures from 

Ireland’s sporting arena to be 

honoured with the title of 

Grand Marshal. Her outstanding 

achievements made her an 

obvious choice for the role 

which has previously been filled 

by the likes of Packie Bonner, 

Eamonn Coghlan and GAA 

commentator Mícheál Ó 

Muircheartaigh. 

Each year, the board of St 

Patrick’s Festival chooses a 

Grand Marshal whom it feels 

has made an outstanding contribution 

to Irish life.

date to lead this year’s parade as 

it winds its way through the 

streets of Dublin. 

“Katie is a talented and 

hard-working athlete and a fantastic 

ambassador for the country 

as we celebrate our national 

holiday,” stated Ms Kirby. 

Speaking to Northside People, 

Katie said she was thrilled to 

have been asked to be Grand 

Marshal. “It’s such a great honour,” 

she stated. “I’m always 

proud to represent Ireland but 

it’s usually in a boxing ring, so 

this will be a completely different 

experience for me!” 

A native of Bray, Katie is no 

stranger to making history. At 

the age of 15 she defeated 

Alanna Audley of Belfast in the 

first officially sanctioned 

women’s boxing bout ever held 

in Ireland. Aged 18, she became 

the first Irish woman to win gold 

at the Senior European Boxing 

Championships. 

Last September, Katie 

achieved her 100th career win 

with her third successive world 

title at the 2010 AIBA Women’s 

World Boxing Championship. 

On her return from that contest 

in Barbados, Katie admitted she 

was taken aback at the tremendous 

support and reception she 

got from fans waiting at Dublin 

Airport. 

As she prepares to carry Irish 

hopes for the 2012 Olympics in 

London, this year’s St Patrick’s 

Day Parade will be a good opportunity 

for us to show our 

Grand Marshal that we are behind 

her all the way.

Sweet 

It’s not just paint. It’s personal in 

Staying in with style in your own home bar 

Q: My husband and I have just 

recently moved into our new 

home. 

It’s a beautiful house with 

lovely bright open spaces. Our 

living room is a great size and 

just off this area we have a 

smaller room which is a blank 

canvas at the moment. 

My husband keeps saying it

business trip so I thought it 

would be a nice idea to have it 

done as a surprise when he 

comes home. 

Can you advise how I would 

go about achieving this? 

A: Staying in is the new 

going out, so a bar in your 

house makes your home ideal 

for entertaining friends in style. 

Your husband is extremely lucky 

that you are putting all this effort 

into creating this room for 

him. 

As you enjoy entertaining so 

frequently, it seems like a great 

use of the space and the fact 

that it’s just off your living room 

means the socialising can all 

happen in the same area. 

Some people think of a bar 

as an extension of the rest of 

their home décor and decorate 

accordingly, while others use a 

complimentary design theme incorporating 

calming colours like 

greens or blues. 

Shades such as Mellow 

Sage, Apple Mist and Stepping 

Stone from the Crown Paints 

range are ideal as they are 

known for their soothing qualities 

and can lend a relaxing atmosphere 

to any space. 

There are some beautiful, 

classic shades in the Crown 

Colourmix Classic Collection that 

I recommend you look at. Elegant 

Scent or Elegant Gown are 

two shades I think would be 

great in achieving a sophisticated 

home bar. 

When deciding on a type of 

flooring for this room the first 

thing you may want to consider 

is the function of the space. As 

the room will be used for entertaining 

and socialising you want 

By Neville Knott 

to make it feel welcoming although 

you must consider that 

you may have spillages from 

time to time. 

Laminate wood flooring is 

amazing and comes in many varieties 

and is extremely versatile. 

This will ensure spills or 

stains are easy to wash away 

and will be a durable, hardwearing 

option. 

If you already have wood 

floors, you can always soften 

the look of the room by placing 

a large patterned rug in the centre. 

If the space allows, comfy 

and durable furniture is a must 

in a room like this. Tan or brown 

leather would be perfect because 

it’s stylish and hard-wearing 

and will last for years. 

When shopping for leather 

furniture, make sure the leather 

has been treated so any spill or 

mark will wipe away. 

As an extra treat for your 

husband and if budget allows, a 

stereo sound system would be a 

great addition to your home bar. 

Some soft background music can 

be a very soothing addition to 

cocktail hour before dinner. 

Or you may choose to install 

a small television where you 

and your friends can relax and

enjoy some 

drinks and nibbles 

while 

watching football 

or a movie. 

Of course, 

the main function 

of the bar is 

to have a way to store and serve 

beverages. A refrigerator or 

cooler is a must. Try companies 

like thebarcompany.ie, wundebar.ie 

or homebar.ie for coolers, 

taps, counters and any other 

equipment you might need. 

Think about what type of 

glassware you'll be using in the 

bar and incorporate storage 

plans for these items in your design. 

Think about the colour 

scheme and consider this when 

choosing accessories such as 

stylish coasters and glassware. 

Last but not least comes the 

lighting. I would recommend 

thinking about recessed or track 

lighting. Recessed lighting gives 

a neater look to a small space. 

Dimmer lights are also a 

popular lighting solution so you 

can create a romantic setting for 

association with 

intimate parties with soft light, 

or have them fully lit for everyday 

use. 

I hope these ideas help you 

create the perfect home bar that 

you, your husband and friends 

will enjoy for many evenings to 

come!

OVER 200 Dublin childcare 

facilities have already registered 

to participate in this 

year’s National Children’s 

Nurseries Association 

(NCNA) National Pyjama 

Day, which will take place 

on March 25.

Hospice Foundation’s Hospice 

Homecare for Children 

programme. 

The NCNA is encouraging 

those not already registered 

to do so and join in the 

day of fun and help raise 

much-needed funds for the 

programme. 

National Pyjama Day has 

so far raised almost €2 million 

for children’s charities in 

Ireland and organisers hope, 

with almost 800 childcare facilities 

already registered, that 

they will raise €350,000 for 

this year’s charity.

with life-limiting conditions 

around the country.

Focus on 

Artane 

There will be no honeymoon 

period offered for 

members of the new cabinet 

that includes local TD Richard 

Bruton (FG), who has been 

given the important portfolio 

of Minister for Enterprise, 

Jobs and Innovation. 

The last two years or so 

will certainly go down as one 

of the most turbulent periods 

in recent times given our 

economic woes and the situation 

we now find ourselves 

in after years of living it up 

while the Celtic Tiger strutted 

across our communities. 

Who could have predicted 

the crisis that has cast doom 

and gloom over every town 

and village in the country?

A thriving area that’s rich in history 

and character 

AS our new Fine Gael/Labour Government gets its feet 

under the big table in the Dáil, it will no doubt be conscious 

that time is of the essence in a bid to finally get 

our struggling economy going in the right direction. 

The tiger is but a distant 

dream and has been replaced 

by the wolf that we’re 

all battling to keep from the 

door. 

However, we’ve been 

down this darkened road before, 

albeit not for some 

time, and our fighting spirit 

will see us through no doubt. 

It’s time for our communities 

to batten down the 

hatches and pull ranks, support 

each other in these challenging 

times. 

Business communities especially 

are in need of our 

support and there has never 

been a more important time 

to support our local traders 

and play our part in keeping

areas. 

Artane is one of those 

areas that has always strived 

to offer its citizens the very 

best in local services. 

It has always been 

renowned as a close-knit 

area providing shops, local 

services, schools, sports clubs 

and recreational outlets. 

From humble beginnings, 

Artane has grown along with 

the population explosion and 

this growth has been more 

than matched by local businesses 

that have stepped up 

to the mark. 

There is everything you 

need in the area with local 

businesses always willing to 

welcome you with a friendly 

smile, as well as that all important 

quality service. 

In a lot of cases, those 

serving us from behind the 

counters are our neighbours, 

which is another incentive to 

shop local during these challenging 

times. 

Artane has a proud history 

and great potential and 

there’s no better time to sup-

Indeed, the Northside of 

Dublin is full of working class 

communities that give this 

side of our fair city a good 

name and none more so 

than Artane, a thriving area 

that’s rich in history and character. 

The main shopping hubs 

are at Artaine Castle, which 

has been a huge success in 

the area since it was built 

some years ago and the Artane 

Roundabout, where 

there are shopping areas on 

either side of the Malahide 

Road. Continued next page

Location 

One of Artane’s biggest assets 

is its location, just a few 

miles from the city centre, 

and there is a very good 

transport network to get you 

to your destination with ease. 

There is easy access to 

public parks, including St 

Anne’s Park and Fairview 

Park, while the nearest 

beach, Dollymount, is not too 

far away either. 

Harmonstown and Killester 

DART stations are also within 

close proximity, making a day 

trip to some of Dublin city 

and county’s prettiest coastal 

villages a good bet for a nice 

outing on a summer’s day. 

The area also has a major 

hospital on its doorstep in 

Beaumont.

landmarks is, of course, the

Other landmarks include 

the ever-popular Artaine Castle 

Shopping Centre, St 

David’s Secondary School 

(built on the grounds of the 

former Artane Industrial 

School) and the Artane Beaumont 

Family Recreation Centre, 

which provides a great 

outlet for sport in the area. 

Sport 

And speaking of sport, Artane 

has a rich tradition with local 

schools and clubs providing a 

great training ground for up 

and coming talents. 

The Artane Beaumont 

Family Recreation Centre 

(ABFRC) has been a huge 

asset to the community for 

many years and continues to 

play a huge role in providing 

an outlet for youngsters and 

adults alike. 

There are a number of 

football clubs in the area but 

other sports are catered for 

also, while Dublin’s home 

ground, Parnell Park, is just a 

stone’s throw away, giving 

GAA-loving youngsters every 

incentive to one day don the 

famous navy and blue strip. 

Artane School 

of Music 

While mentioning the Dubs, 

no article on Artane could be 

complete without reference 

to the famous Artane Boys’ 

Band, now known as the Artane 

School of Music. 

The band, quite rightly described 

as a national treasure, 

has graced Croke Park more 

times than any hurling and 

football team and has given 

joy to countless people all 

over the world. 

The Artane School of 

Music, is perhaps Ireland's 

foremost school of excellence 

in music, and is recognised as 

an Irish national institution in 

itself. 

It is one of Ireland's most 

prominent symbols of youth, 

regularly playing at national 

events, giving young children 

and young adults the opportunity 

to learn and master 

their instruments, and more 

importantly, build self-esteem 

and confidence. 

For generations, this talented 

group has been easily 

recognisable by their distinctive 

scarlet and blue uniforms. 

The Artane School of Music 

is open to all. Girls and boys 

are taught from an early age 

in a co-educational setting, 

from initial recorder lessons, 

to recorder ensemble train- 

ing, and eventually graduate, 

each to their own instrument, 

then to all further stages in 

the band structure. 

Education 

St David’s CBS, St David’s 

Boys’ National School and St 

John of God’s Primary School 

have been among the mainstays 

in providing second 

level education in the area 

over the years. 

Each of these schools 

boasts excellent reputations 

and continue to serve Artane 

and surrounding areas with 

great distinction. 

Community 

Of course the success of any 

area depends a lot on its inhabitants 

and in Artane, 

there are a number of residents’ 

associations and community 

groups determined to 

work hard for the good of 

their community. 

● The Artane Beaumont Family Recreation Centre is an important social and sporting outlet. 

● St Brigid’s Mall, just off the Artane Roundabout, is a hive of activity and provides invaluable services 

to locals.

Happy art day 

CELEBRATING its first birthday this year, Audi North 

Dublin is encouraging children to express their creative talents 

in an art competition with a difference. 

Now introducing the exciting 

new Audi A1, Audi North 

Dublin wants the children of 

Leinster to reveal their imaginative 

sides by creating a 

unique design for the Audi A1 

roof arch. 

The winning entrant will 

get the chance to see his or her 

design brought to life when it 

is reproduced onto a real Audi 

A1 car and displayed in the 

state of the art Audi North 

Dublin showroom for all to 

see. 

On top of this, the winner 

will be awarded with a fantastic 

brand new computer for his 

or her school and will get to 

meet, as well as be presented 

with, a rugby jersey signed by 

the one and only Leinster, Ireland 

and Lions rugby hero 

Rob Kearney. 

A breath of fresh air 

I LIKE it when I get a bit of special attention when picking 

up a press car and somebody takes the trouble to walk from 

reception to the car park to show me round the motor. 

I have often sung the praises 

of Skoda’s Ray Leddy on these 

pages. Now Ray has a serious 

competitor in the ‘very helpful 

department’ from Pat Howlett 

who works in the new Audi 

Centre in Ballsbridge. 

Audi’s new baby is built on 

the Polo platform, but of course 

is a bit fancier. There are no fans 

of two-door cars in our house 

and you need to be slim to 

squeeze into the back seat. 

Family members made no secret 

of the fact they would 

much prefer something with 

four doors. 

But they all did like the 

graph-like front parking lights, 

which make the car very attractive 

at night time. 

Every picture I had seen of 

the A1 was red, but the test car 

was black with a silver arch on 

both sides. Overall the external 

look wouldn’t exactly wow you 

on first viewing, but it’s much 

more attractive inside. Most 

cars I have driven recently have 

had predominantly black cabins. 

But the A1 is like a breath 

of fresh air with a nice touch of 

grey on the front and back seats. 

I know it sounds contradictory, 

but the grey really does brighten 

up the décor. The back seat 

could, at a squeeze carry three 

people, but there are only two 

rear seat belts. 

You get the latest stop-start 

technology, but it can be turned 

off if required. A few weeks 

back I said that the stop-start 

technology in the Land Rover’s 

Freelander was upsetting my 

daughter’s last minute studying 

on Monday mornings. We didn’t 

realise then that the technology 

could be turned off. 

The controls on the dash are 

well laid out. Then you get a 

very useful pop up information 

display unit on the dash. If the 

display is too bright at night you 

simply fold it down. On the 

road the A1 was nifty, but comfortable. 

I drove an automatic 

model, but there was also a toggle 

option to move through the 

gears if required. Thankfully I 

was able to set a speed limit 

which warned me when I hit 

60kh/m, which seemed the 

most sensible speed to do as we 

now get regular speed checks at 

locations which are definitely 

not accident black spots. 

This motor would definitely 

be attractive for ‘young singletons.’ 

The boot is a decent size, 

Recently awarded 5 stars 

in the Euro NCAP crash test, 

the new Audi A1 is one of the 

safest vehicles in its category, 

including when it comes to 

child safety. Available from 

just €19,595 on the road, the 

new A1 has already proved 

popular with Irish customers. 

The winning entrant will 

be decided by a panel of 

judges and Rob Kearney will 

present the prizes so this is 

your chance to impress your 

sporting hero as well as have 

by Seán Creedon 

but no spare wheel, just a repair 

kit. The A1 has already been 

named Small Car of the Year by 

New Car magazine and Car of 

● On the road the A1 is nifty, but comfortable 

your own unique design showcased 

on this incredible new 

Audi A1 car. 

The chosen young artist 

will be invited to the Awards 

Ceremony which will be held 

in Audi North Dublin, at Exit 

5 on the M50 in April where 

they will see their design 

brought to life.

enter, please visit www.audinorthdublin.ie

simple instructions. Closing 

date for entries is March 31. 

the Year by What Car magazine. 

Prices for the 1.2 petrol version 

start at €18,995, while the 

1.4 automatic version I drove, 

starts at €26,050 but the various 

extras brought the price up to 

€30,556. There is also a 1.6 

diesel version, which starts at 

€22,200.

Peugeot announces 

new 508 prices 

PEUGEOT has announced price and specification 

details for the new 508, replacement to the 

popular Peugeot 407, that is due for launch in 

Ireland this April. 

The Peugeot 508 brings to market a confident, 

stylish and well-equipped model range with prices 

starting from €24,850 plus dealer delivery related 

charges. 

Available in both saloon and SW guise, three 

trims will be offered: Access, Active and Allure. 

Standard equipment across the range will include 

ESP, ASR, hill assist, curtain airbags, alarm and 

deadlocks, air conditioning, front and rear electric 

windows, a full size spare wheel and front fog 

lamps. 

The level two Active model has in addition a 

rear parking aid, automatic wipers and headlights, 

Bluetooth, cruise control and speed limiter, leather 

steering wheel, electrochrome rear view mirror, 

electric child locks, electric lumbar adjustment, bizone 

climate control, electric folding door mirrors 

and 17” alloys with anti-theft wheel nuts. 

The top of the range Allure model further 

gains keyless entry, full leather upholstery, front 

parking sensors, electric parking brake, electric/heated 

front seats, front and rear carpet mats 

and 18” alloys. 

The 508 will be available in Ireland with a 

choice of four efficient diesel engines boasting frugal 

consumption and low CO2 emissions. The 

super-efficient 1.6 e-HDi 112bhp stop start engine 

is matched to an electronically controlled Ecomatique 

gearbox and qualifies for Band A €104 annual 

road tax. 

Speaking at the launch, Des Cannon, Sales 

Marketing Director at Peugeot Ireland said: 

“Quality has been a key priority for Automobiles 

Peugeot during the 508 design brief, as was the 

total cost of ownership, a decisive factor when 

buying a vehicle in this segment for corporate 

fleets. Two million kilometres of road tests under 

real life conditions were undertaken prior to 

launch to clearly demonstrate the new Peugeot 

508’s durability and quality.” 

● The new 508 will be available in Ireland with a choice of four efficient diesel engines boasting frugal 

consumption and low CO2 emissions

NUI GALWAY TO HOLD 

INFORMATION 

EVENING IN DUBLIN 

Thursday, March 10, 2011: 

Secondary school students interested 

in NUI Galway are invited 

to an information evening 

in Dublin on Thursday, 31 

March. Parents and guardians 

are also particularly welcome to 

the event which runs from 7- 

9pm in the Stillorgan Park 

Hotel. 

The evening will begin with 

short talks about NUI Galway and 

some of the 60 courses it offers. 

Afterward, current students and 

NUI Galway staff will be on hand 

at information stands to answer 

any individual questions visitors 

may have. 

“NUI Galway has a great deal 

to offer. Our own students tell us 

our lecturers are inspirational and 

challenge them to achieve their 

full potential. The student experience 

in Galway is second to none, 

and we want to bring a taste of 

that to Dublin, while also providing 

all the practical information on 

accommodation, CAO points, fees, 

scholarships and courses,” says 

Caroline Loughnane, Director of 

Marketing and Communications at 

NUI Galway. 

The ever-increasing popularity 

of NUI Galway is in part due to a 

whole suite of innovative new 

programmes, developed in response 

to the changing needs of 

the employment market, including 

an Energy Engineering degree 

and a Maths and Education degree 

aimed at training Maths 

teachers. 

The University recently developed 

a popular four-year Arts degree 

called BA Connect, which 

allows specialisation in certain 

areas and a year of placement in 

Ireland or abroad. There are eight 

to choose from, including Human 

Rights, Creative Writing, and Theatre 

and Performance, all areas 

where NUI Galway is leading the 

way. 

NUI Galway is Ireland’s leading 

university for Biomedical Science, 

so students have access to 

top researchers and the very latest 

facilities. As the University is 

at the heart of the medical device 

industry hub in Galway, graduates 

have excellent opportunities for 

ongoing employment in the field. 

Caroline Loughnane continued:

Osteopathy 

the simple beauty behind the treatment 

REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY (OR RSI)? 

Repetitive Strain Injury 

(or RSI)? 

Repetitive strain injuries 

affect the soft tissues of the 

body e.g. muscles, tendons, 

ligaments and nerves. 

Therefore they have major 

affects on joints. Repetitive 

strain injury, repetitive stress 

injury, or RSI is a term that 

most people have heard of. 

RSI is a name that is used to 

describe many different 

types of soft tissue injury 

including carpel tunnel 

syndrome and tendonitis. It 

is usually caused by a 

mixture of bad ergonomics, 

poor posture, stress, and 

repetitive motion. 

Do you use a computer for 

more than a few hours a day? 

Do you work on a factory 

production line or play a 

musical instrument? If the 

answer is yes then you are 

certainly at risk from repetitive 

strain injury. It may not be a 

life threatening injury, but RSI 

has the potential to cause 

crippling disability and pain. 

Early treatment is the key to 

success, because recovery can 

be a very slow process. 

The key to dealing with 

repetitive strain injury 

successfully is treating the 

symptoms and tackling the 

causes. The symptoms of an 

injury could be one or more of 

the following: 

• Pain, stiffness, swelling, 

numbness or tingling in the 

hands, wrists, elbows, 

shoulders, back or neck. 

• Discomfort which is brought 

on by carrying out a particular 

task, and then improves when 

no longer doing it; i.e. if the 

pain lessens or disappears over 

weekends, or during holidays. 

• Discomfort starts in one area, 

for example neck and back, 

and then spreads to other parts 

of the body. Early warning 

signs may manifest as sore 

shoulders or neck pain, 

possibly when travelling home 

after a day at work. Equally the 

effects may show up the 

morning after as aches and 

stiffness in the limbs and the 

hands. 

Would you say you suffer 

from any of the following? 

1. Weakness 

2. Fatigue 

3. Lack of endurance 

4.Tingling, numbness or loss of 

sensation 

5.A feeling of heaviness 

6.Clumsiness 

7.Difficulty opening and closing 

hands 

8.Stiffness 

9.Difficulty using hands 

(turning pages of books or 

magazines, turning doorknobs, 

holding a coffee mug) 

10.Reluctance to shake hands 

11.Difficulty carrying things or 

holding bus poles 

12.Hands fall asleep 

13.Waking up with wrist pain 

or numb hands, especially 

during early morning hours 

14.Lack of control or 

coordination

sports that were once

19.Pain or soreness (RSI is not 

always painful, though) 

If you do it may be because 

of repetitive strain injury. 

Repetitive strain injury is a 

common condition among 

those who work in an 

environment that places 

stress on certain parts of the 

body. Anyone that works with 

computers is in a high RSI risk 

group, due to the demands 

placed on the wrist by typing. 

Musicians, athletes and 

construction workers are also 

prone to RSI due to the stress 

placed on joints and muscles. 

Muscles cause movement and 

usually need to relax 

between exertions. Some 

muscles work even when 

they are not involved in 

movement (postural muscles) 

bad posture means these 

muscles have to work even 

more. When muscles are 

overworked they become 

inflamed and sore. Tendons 

attach muscles to bones, 

overworked muscles cause 

tendons to overwork and also 

become inflamed 

(tendonitis). Inflamed 

muscles and tendons can 

cause damage to the nerves 

and blood vessels that supply 

them, and untreated can 

cause permanent loss of 

muscle and motor function. 

Repetitive strain injury is 

particularly common in those 

who have mechanical 

imbalances and have 

repetitive jobs or hobbies. 

These imbalances could have 

been caused by accidents or 

falls in ones past. Mechanical 

imbalance causes more strain 

on joints and soft tissues than 

normal, and so these tissues 

are more susceptible. It is 

easy to see why some 

athletes and those who do 

physical work are prone to 

such strains, and therefore 

how important it is for such 

people to maintain correct 

posture and mechanical 

balance. 

Osteopathy helps in repetitive 

strain injuries in two ways. 

Not only dealing with the 

acute symptoms, but also, 

working to establish balance 

and harmony in the body.

Wouldn’t it be great to 

have all the 

confidence, peace of 

mind and happiness 

you want. Yet with all 

the day to day stresses 

and pressures around 

it can seem that life is 

out to get you. 

We can feel thrown 

off balance, our beliefs 

shattered, lack of 

motivation and fearful. 

When this happens we 

lose our ability to think 

clearly and rationally 

and we lose sight of 

things. We constantly 

worry about different 

things that never 

happen and by doing 

this we waste years of 

our life that we never 

get back. Our emotions 

can gallop away from us 

and if we leave this 

unchallenged it can 

consume our everyday 

lives with negative 

thoughts and negative 

behavioural patterns. 

However, there is good 

news! We can take 

control back of our lives! 

We can feel calm, 

relaxed and in control in 

difficult situations. We 

all have the power 

within us to reach our 

potential and set 

ourselves free.

Help to 

banish your 

rosacea 

with Ipl 

If you are a rosacea 

sufferer, you know how 

embarrassing and 

emotionally devastating it 

is to suffer from this 

condition. 

The onset of rosacea usually 

occurs between the ages of 

30 and 50 years. Rosacea is 

more common in women 

but more severe when it 

strikes in men. 

Rosacea is a very common 

skin condition characterized 

by a red face. This skin 

condition causes flushing of 

the face which eventually 

leaves permanently 

enlarged visible red blood 

vessels and capillaries, and 

a red faced appearance 

especially on the cheeks, 

nose and mid face. In time 

raised red bumps or acne 

lesions also occur. 

Recently, the use of IPL 

(intense pulse light) has 

revolutionised the treatment 

of rosacea. The IPL 

treatments are very 

effective at closing down 

enlarged blood vessels 

which cause the red face 

appearance that is seen in 

people suffering from 

rosacea. 

• The signs of this condition : 

• Facial flushing 

• Persistent redness 

• Acne bumps 

• Visible blood vessels on 

the face. 

How does Ipl get rid of the 

red face? 

IPL or intense Pulsed Light 

uses a bright flash of visible 

light to close down the 

blood vessels and capillaries 

which cause flushing and 

the red faced appearance. 

IPl uses a filter which only 

releases a specific colour of 

light, one that is uniquely 

absorbed or picked up by 

the blood vessels of the 

skin, to hit the skin. Thus the 

IPL light beams only affect 

the dilated blood vessels on 

the skin and do not injure 

the normal skin. When the 

IPL light energy is absorbed 

by the dilated blood vessels, 

the dilated blood vessels are 

injured and close down. This 

removes the blood vessels, 

capillaries and the red 

appearance of the face. 

What is the treatment like? 

IPL treatments are very 

quick, simple. Protective 

shields, like sunglasses, will 

be placed to protect your 

eyes. A soothing Gel will be 

placed on your skin for your 

comfort and to improve the 

effectiveness of the IPL 

treatment. The treatment 

sensation will vary from 

client to client. Most of our 

clients say that it feels like a 

hot pinprick or the flicking of 

an elastic band on their skin. 

Any discomfort is 

momentary and there is no 

lasting sensation 

When will I see results? 

For moderate to severe 

cases 3 treatments 

scheduled 5 weeks apart are 

required to get you started. 

This is because it is 

impossible to equally cover 

and close all of the affected 

areas during each 

treatment. 

Be realistic about results – 

IPL may not work for you. 

Most patients see 

improvement quickly, but 

rosacea is as individual as 

you are and nothing is 

guaranteed. Skin type, skin 

color and condition, general 

lifestyle – all have a bearing 

on how successful the 

treatment will be. A 

specialist dermatologist can 

help you to determine if IPL 

is likely to work for your 

rosacea. 

Be careful about sun 

damage – after IPL 

treatment, your skin will be 

extremely vulnerable to UV 

light and you need to wear 

a high factor sunscreen at all 

times and keep out of the 

sun as much as possible. 

Call us today and book a 

skin analysis with our Beau 

visage skin analysis, an 

innovative system which 

helps us diagnose skin 

problems up to 2mm under 

your skin, including blood, 

melanin and sun damage.

TOWARDS EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND CLEAR THINKING 

DEPRESSION - A STRUCTURE FOR CHANGE 

WHEN caught in depression, 

happiness is hard to find. 

Pleasure eludes you, motivation 

dries up, you worry and lack 

confidence in your own views. 

You think you are unlovable and 

feel trapped. Your relationships 

deteriorate and you withdraw 

from others. Caught within a 

persistently negative mood, the 

gloom seems impenetrable. 

This process practically always 

includes patterns of negative, 

depressive thoughts including 

helplessness, hopelessness and 

worthlessness. Like a bad 

tenant, depression rarely leaves 

without strong urging. 

However, depression is part of 

‘the human condition’. Feeling 

down is inescapable. In 

everyone’s lifetime there will be 

disappointment and, for some, 

it will be much more than 

others. 

Depression very often follows 

very high levels of stress, but for 

some dealing with it (and 

avoiding it) becomes a way of 

life. Yet depression need not 

control a person’s life. 

As an individual learns to detect 

and reject droning depressive 

thoughts and engage in antidepressive 

behaviours, 

depression tends to lift. 

There is, in fact, very good 

reason to be optimistic about 

getting relief from depression. 

In the US, where psychological 

interventions such as Cognitive 

Behavioural Therapy began, it 

has been estimated that 80 per 

cent of depressed people 

respond to evidence-based 

therapies. 

So, if the odds are as high as 80 

per cent for getting relief from 

depression, it might be worth 

while for the sufferer to make 

that bet! For those who would 

put themselves in the 20 per 

cent who fear they can never 

control their depression, they 

are actually dealing with what’s 

called hopelessness thinking. 

The founder of psychoanalysis, 

Sigmund Freud, believed that 

depression was a complex 

condition that resulted from 

early childhood trauma. 

However, the 21st century view 

is that it is a condition formed 

by a mix of psychological, social 

and biological factors that bring 

about individual responses to 

stress factors and cognitive 

(thinking) styles. 

Compared to earlier solutions 

over the centuries for treating 

depression, the modern 

emphasis in changing cognitions 

has scientific backing. Whatever 

the causes of depression and 

individual differences in how we 

may show it, we know that by 

addressing our thoughts it is 

possible to decrease other parts 

of depression, such as fatigue, 

eating difficulties, addictive 

behaviour and troubled sleep. 

Depression doesn’t discriminate 

between social status, religious 

beliefs, influence or wealth. 

When dealing with depression,

intelligence and cultures 

describe almost identical 

thinking, physical and emotional 

symptoms. 

However, no matter who or 

where the depressed person is, 

knowing how to identify and 

root out depressive thinking is a 

proven way to gain the upper 

hand on depression and prevent 

it from coming back.

Audi-Lab offers you the 

right hearing aid solution 

● Comne and meet the Audi-Lab team; Dave, Michael, Nellie, leona and Phil 

Why Did I only need one visit 

to my optician? 

"Roughly 80% of vision problems are 

due to a refractive error such as long 

sight or short sight and can be easily 

corrected by refocusing the light entering 

the eye with the correct prescription 

spectacle lens. 

“The other 20% of vision problems 

are due to a variety of eye conditions 

that require medical treatment." 

Valerie Hughes, Raheny Optical. 

What is the difference with 

hearing problems? 

HEARING AID CONSULTANTS 

Frequently asked questions 

80% of hearing problems are due to 

cochlear (the retina of the ear) damage 

with only 20% of hearing aid fittings 

necessary for conductive hearing 

loss. 

The complete reverse to the situation 

with the eyes. 

Can a Cochlear hearing loss 

be aided? 

Yes, however fitting the correct gain is 

not the sole solution. Cochlear hearing 

loss happens very gradually and 

you become slowly accustom to not 

hearing properly. 

With the fitting of hearing aids for 

hearing loss there needs to be a comprehensive 

rehabilitation program so 

you can acclimatise to being able to 

hear again. 

Why Audi-Lab? 

At Audi-Lab our service doesn’t stop 

when you buy your hearing aid. We 

tailor a program to suit you. 

This includes several rehabilitation 

sessions to adjust your hearing aids to 

your particular listening enviroments. 

We pride ourselves on our after care 

and rehabilitation service.

What Audi-Lab customers are 

saying about their aftercare 

“I had the good fortune to chance upon Audi Labs when my 

hearing began to really go downhill some years ago. A small, 

family run agency. Leona Kane is at the helm, 

together with her partner: I found them warm, friendly, 

efficient, thoroughly professional. 

“And with the patience of Job! Nor do they confine themselves 

to one particular brand of hearing aid; on the contrary, 

they are willing to experiment until they find the one that best 

suits one’s individual needs. I endorse Audi Labs, wholeheartedly.” 

-Sean Walsh, Dublin 9 

“Having purchased my hearing aids at Audi-Lab, I was very 

happy with the service I received. I had several follow up sessions 

to have them adjusted. 

“When I had a problem a few months later, they 

recognised the issue immediately and adapted my hearing aids to 

cope with the changes to my hearing. I found the whole experience 

very positive and would happily 

recommend Audi-Lab.” 

-Tom Mulligan, Dublin 5. 

Audi-Lab customers Share 

their experience 

“Over the last few years I’ve been aware of the decline in my 

hearing, especially while viewing TV at home. Being reminded 

often by the family that I had the volume ’too high’ put me on 

the ‘remedial’ road. 

“A friend suggested Audi-Lab so I made an appointment for 

a hearing check up. This proved to be a very positive experience 

indeed. We often tend to dismiss a hearing 

deficiency as the inevitable result of our advancing years but 

this need not be the case. 

“The consultant at Audi-Lab conducted the tests with precision 

and sensitivity. She explained my problem, and the proposed 

remedy, in a clear and concise manner. 

On her advice I decided on a pair of ’behind-the-ear’ units with 

a choice of 3 settings. 

“After the initial ’surprise’ at my improved hearing I can 

now confirm that I enjoy TV without disturbing domestic peace. 

The quality of dialogue and social-interaction is much improved 

as I can now chat on a ’one-to-one’ basis with the help of the 

dedicated programs in my ’Resound’ hearing aids. No need to 

endure faulty hearing… while Audi-Lab is available to help. A 

very satisfied retired client living in Malahide

“In my late forties I became aware that I was having 

difficulties with my hearing and it was beginning to have a negative 

effect on my life. I knew it could be annoying for my family 

and friends to be constantly asked “what did you say?” 

“The television and radio to be at a high volume. In crowded 

places I felt isolated as all I could hear was noise rather than 

people speaking. I decided to take action so I arranged an appointment 

to meet an audiologist at 

Audi-Lab in Raheny, Dublin. Following a number of teats the 

audiologist recommended that I be fitted with hearing aids. I 

can’t believe the benefit to me of wearing the 

hearing aids. I can now hear sounds I hadn’t realised I was 

missing. 

“For example, birds singing, the sea, the sound of a river 

flowing to mention but a few. But most importantly I hear people 

speaking without the constant need to ask “what did you 

say”? I can now enjoy social events again. Being able to hear 

properly has given me back my self-confidence.”
