Pelletstown, Dublin just got a VERY unexpected visitor… 👀💨 #Dublin #Ireland #DiscoverDublin #Railway #SteamTrain

Wishing Paschal Donohoe and his family every happiness as he steps down as TD today. Paschal has been a mentor and friend, and his example in public service continues to guide me in the Cabra–Glasnevin role he once held. His dedication to our community leaves a legacy I’m determined to continue.

Great news. The Dublin City Council Parks Department confirmed today that works to upgrade The Crescent Park playground will commence on Monday 28 April, 2025. Works will take approximately four to five weeks to complete. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions.

I spoke to the Irish Independent about the planned development at the vacant site on Bannow Road in Cabra: m.independent.ie/regionals/du...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone ☘️🇮🇪💚
