We’re finding a lot of people are deciding not to replace their cars these days and are going to experiment with Go Cars, public transport and cycling. It can suit some people and it saves a great deal of money. See below - message from Minister O’Brien, for some good news on Cycle routes, I believe the Malahide Active Travel can be congratulated for the idea.

Dear Resident,
I hope that this finds you well. Cllr Eoghan O’Brien and I have been actively engaging with Malahide Portmarnock Educate Together Secondary school, Gaelscoil an Duinnínigh and local residents for over year now to secure safer pedestrian and cycle access to our local schools. You will have seen recently significant improvements to the entrance to the schools from the Feltrim Road which is very welcome and I’d like to commend Fingal for their work on this and in particular the students who worked with us to secure these improvements.

Recently Eoghan and I have received the very significant news that planning permission has been granted for a new path from Waterside to the schools. We have both met with the Minister for Education Norma Foley about this and I’m pleased to tell you that they will commence work on this really important link in the near future.

This path from Waterside will greatly improve safety for students and residents from the Swords Road area, linking them not only to the schools but onwards to the shops and commercial centre in Kinsealy.
Kind Regards,
Darragh
