No MorePesticidesGreen Party Councillor for the Malahide area, DavidHealy has been asked the Council to provide informa-tion on any progress that has been made in reducingpesticide use in parks and open spaces in theMalahide area.

There are many health side effects associated with theuse of pesticides. A 2007 study showed that manycancers, neurological problems, birth defects andmany other health issues were directly linked to expo-sure to pesticides. There are also many environmentaleffects that are a cause for concern. Since these find-ings, the EU have set out rules on the sustainable useof pesticides. These include the banning ofarial spraying, professional training for pesti-cide users and that all EU Member Statesminimise or ban the use of pesticides in certainareas for both health and environmentalreasons. Cllr Healy has asked the Council for an updateas, despite the introduction of an open spacestrategy for the North County called ‘Keeping ItGreen’, no progress seems to have been madeto implement this strategy. The policy was introducedback in November of 2015, and in it the Council statethat the use of pesticides in parks and open spaceswould be prohibited. The response the council gave to Cllr Healy states that:“The Council is continuing to promote and extendmeasures aimed at reducing pesticide use in line withthe provisions set out in the recently adopted Open

Space Strategy. In particular, the use of ground coverplanting in areas previously requiring chemical weedcontrol is reducing reliance on pesticides. At the openspace planning stage also, the need for pesticide use isbeing designed out and the redesign of existing openspaces is also being carried out with a view to reducingthe need for chemical weed control and other pesti-cide usage. It should be noted also that where it isnecessary, the use of chemical herbicides is under-taken by the County Council having regard to bestinternational practice.”A representative from the County Council told thispaper that; “While the County Council have committedto reducing their use of pesticides, they have also

stated that the use of certain pesticides incertain circumstances will still be necessary.Areas that are inaccessible or unsuitable formowing will still need to be controlled with theuse of pesticides. Speaking to the County Leader, Cllr Healy said;“I would like to know more about whatprogress the council have made with this. Thepolicy was brought in November and I’ve beenbringing it up in every area committee meeting.

I’ve been trying to break it down spot by spot in termsof what they are doing. There are a number ofdifferent steps to be taken, there are areas where Ithink we should stop using pesticides and I want tobring them through spot by spot to see where exactlythey are still using pesticides.”He went on to say; “The original policy stated that thecouncil would be discussing it with local residents and

as far as I am aware thathasn’t happened yet.Certainly not in Malahide.I’m happy enough thatthey have committed tostop using pesticides, Iam just not happy withthe fact that there doesn’tseem to have been anyprogress made as yet withthat. Maybe they havemade some progress withthe use of pesticides in some parks, I don’t want tocriticise them unnecessarily, maybe they are just notgiving the full report on what they have beenachieving, so I would hope to get more information onthat further to their response.”There was a concern raised by the council that,without the use of pesticides, certain weeds would beallowed to grow freely, only being cut back maybeonce or twice a year. This was a concern for theCouncil as they feared that the public would see thenatural growth of weeds and other flora as the councilbeing lackadaisical and not doing their job properly. In reference to the Council’s concerns Cllr Healy said;“There is interest in this from a public perspective,they want to know that they have the safety of nothaving pesticides being used at all and they wantto see biodiversity in their area. That is why it isimportant for the Council to liaise with the public.People need to know what is happening and whyit is happening.”

The upkeep and maintenance ofour beloved coastal towns andvillages is of utmost importanceduring the summer months. Theincreased footfall in local areasdue to summer tourism meansthat extra care needs to be takento ensure that our villages arekept at the highest possible stan-dard. The Malahide Tidy Towns havebeen doing great work recently toensure that Malahide remains oneof the most beautiful areas of the

North County. Last week, the TidyTowns, in conjunction with helpfulmembers of the community, tookon the task of cleaning up certainsections of the village. Speaking to the County Leader,Chairperson of the Malahide TidyTowns Gerry Rafferty, said; “Wewere delighted with the responsewe got form people. Everyone dida great job, but it won’t stop therewe have a lot more to go.”He went on to say; “It was great tosee so many people from the local

community coming out to help us,and it was great that we had theco-operation of the council. Theyprovided bags for us to help withthe clean up.”He concluded by saying; “It wasreally good to see so many peoplethere who had such a big interestin it and who really wanted tohelp us to keep Malahide lookingbeautiful. We have more worksplanned during the summer andwe would appreciate anyone whocan come out and help us on the

day.” Not only were they outcleaning up the area, but inconjunct ion with the CountyCouncil, they have been making anumber of improvements to thearea. They have been plantingnew f lower beds, and placingplanters around the village andcarrying out remedial work on thegreen. This is a l l part of theannual tidy towns competition theabjudication of which is carriedout during June, July and Augustof each year.

Council’s Commitment To Remove Cable TiesCllr Daire Ní Laoi (SF)has welcomed theCouncil’s commitmentto remove cable tiesfrom poles in theHowth/Malahide Area.Cllr Ni Laoi called forthis action at the Junelocal area meeting,because of the hugenumber of cable tiesleft behind on polesfollowing the GeneralElection in February.Speaking to theCounty Leader, Ni Laoisaid; “I see this essen-tially as littering,” she

said. “The cable tieslook awful, and are amajor cause of annoy-ance to many resi-dents. I honestly donot understand whycable ties should beleft behind whenposters are beingtaken down.”In its response to CllrNí Laoi, the localauthority, whileagreeing to removethem, pointed out thatthe main responsibilitywas with whoevererected the election

posters, i .e. thePolitical Parties andCandidates.In November of lastyear, however, well inadvance of the GeneralElection, Cllr Ni Laoihad asked the Councilto devise a systemwhich would ensurethat where cable tieswere used to hangposters in publicplaces, they would beremoved when theposters were takendown. The Council’s response

at that point had beenthat theC o u n c i lremoved thecable tieswhere theyput upposters them-selves, butthat theirEnvironmentD i v i s i o nwould liaise withE l e c t e dRepresentatives in rela-tion to posters erected,in an effort to ensurecable ties associated

with these posterswould be removed also.“It’s clear that this

approach isnot working, “said Cllr NiLaoi, “ andthat the localauthority, if itdoesn’t wishto spend af o r t u n ecleaning upafter candi-dates who

seem to be unwilling toclean up after them-selves, needs to devisea proper strategy toensure compliance withthe regulations.”

St Sylvester’s Church and ParishCentre, Malahide will hold a FamilyFun Day on Sunday 26th June from10.30 am - 3.30 pm. On the day there will be crafttables, cake sale, plant sale withhanging baskets and window boxesif you are in the mood to do some

David Cameron’s political stroke tohold a referendum on the “In Out”question has proven to be a majorpolitical misjudgement. It is a disasternot only for himself but also for the EUand the UK. Across Europe Brexit is now acommon topic not justamongst the politicalactivist but it has caughtthe imagination of thosenot normally engaged inpolitical debate.Movements such as StopTTIP have benefited from thedebate as across the EU on thebenefits of membership and how theEU functions.Enda Kenny joined the Dutch PrimeMinister Mark Rutte in rejecting anyprospect of a referendum in either oftheir countries on the subject of

leaving the EU irrespective ofThursday’s outcome in the UK. OtherEuropean leaders are also expressingsimilar views. The very fact that thesuch comments are made reflects thenew uncertainty of the stability of the

Union.We made the point last week

that stay or leave, the resultwill change the Union.Clearly if the “Out” side winchange is certain. It maytake time to process but

relationships will alter. Evenif the decision is to remain the

concept of reform is ignitedacross Europe. Both Cameron’s people along withtheir Labour Party allies are calling forfurther reforms in these the last daysin the run into the vote. Labour is spliton the issue of “free movement” and

both parties aretalking aboutsecuring furtherconcessions fromBrussels. This referendumwas a bad miscal-culation,be it a winor lose result,it isalmost certain tosee the end ofDavid Cameron’sterm as PM. The

resulting leadership struggle couldsee the Conservatives split. This maybe good news for the Labour Party butthey also face their own problemswithin the party. The SNP aresignalling the prospect of unilateralnegotiations to retain Scotland’smembership of the EU in the event of aNo vote. Should that happen theeconomic management of the sixcounties would become extremelydifficult.

Weare lucky enough to live inwhat many consider to bethe jewel in the crown ofEurope. That is why there reallyisn’t any reason to leaveour little island when weembark on our annualsummer holidays. There is plenty to dowithout ever having toboard a plane or set sailon a ferry.

Many people enjoy theidea of staying at homeand have a staycationrather than a vacation. Nobooking fees or hassleinvolved.

There are many localrestaurants that will offersuperb mid week andearly bird deals that youcan avail of, so duringyour holiday you won’tneed to cook. There will be plenty ofentertainment in yourlocal pub during thesummer months too,from bands to pubquizzes. This way, youcan make each night anight out just like youwould if you were travel-ling abroad.

Best Wishes to Tom & Maureen in Tristar Travel

Tristar TravelTristar Travel Worldchoice, whichis located at 31 Strand Street,Skerries is one of the most recog-nisable travel companies in theNorth County, where they havebeen planning holidays for theirlegion of loyal customers for thepast 38 years.In that time they have been dedi-cated to the needs of their clientswith a total t ravel serv icecomplete with old world attentionto detail and the ability to followthrough.Tristar Travel are specialist cruiseagents for companies, includingRoyal Caribbean, Celebrity, MSC,Norwegian, Thompson, RivieraRiver Cruises plus many more.They are also agents for SilverseaCruises which operates 7 StarCruise ships.The company, which is ful lybonded, also specialise in tailor-made and bespoke holidays andlong haul trips.The company is headed up by TomWalsh and his wife, Maureen andthey have been in business since1978, when the f irst shop wasopened in Balbriggan. Then in1994, Tom and Maureen decidedto open a branch at their presentlocat ion, 31 Strand Street inSkerries. In that time, they have become verywell known as the local travel agents whoare synonymous with planning the finestholidays for their loyal customers over theyears, providing excellent value for money,variety and choice. In 1998, Elaine Campbelljoined the company and has been there eversince.Tristar Travel offers a vast variety of cruisescover ing the globe with the Med andCaribbean being particularly popular. Otherfavourites include Alaskan, Baltic cruisesand the Norwegian Fjords. River Cruises arevery popular with specialist companies likeRiviera Travel making it very accessible.“They are a large part of our business. Wealso put a lot of long haul and unusual holi-days together for our customers. There havebeen a number of articles written in the

American press and elsewhere, saying thatyou actually save money by using a travelagent for your holidays, rather than doing itby yourself. This is particularly the casewhen you want to plan a high end holiday, beit cruising or packaging, or long haul vaca-tions, or anything out of the ordinary,” saidTom.A travel agent amounts to a one stop shop,where hotels, travel arrangements, transfersand visas are all looked after at the sametime. This takes the hassle out of trying toplan all the little details that can trip you up,thus making for a far more pleasant holiday,and at a lower cost as well.For those who like a tailor made holiday thatis not mainstream, then Tristar Travel willtake all the guesswork out of the equationfor you. They are specialists in the likes ofEscorted Tours, with Riviera Travel which arehugely popular, as well as holidays in coun-tr ies l ike Vietnam, Argent ina, Iceland,Croatia, river cruises on the Seine, trips to

the Greek Is lands, Thai land,Madeira, Afr ican Safar is andsome of the most exotic placeson earth. “We have planned holi-days literally from one end of theglobe to the other for many satis-fied customers,” said Tom.“We have also sent quite a fewpeople on hol idays over theRockies Mountains in Canada onthe Rocky Mountaineer, a trainjourney through some of themost breathtaking scenery onearth. We have also organisedtrain journeys in South Africa, theFar East and the Tran-SiberianExpress.”Tristar Travel are delighted toplan any kind of holiday for theircustomers, they special ise intailor-made holidays, which arenot normally available throughtravel brochures. “We can alsoorganise t r ips to any majorsporting events across the globe,including the Rugby and SoccerWorld Cups, Wimbledon, all ofgolf’s Majors, Royal Ascot, theGrand Prix circuit and practicallyany event that our customersrequire.”A very popular destination isLondon for a weekend where wecan provide flight, accommoda-

tion and tickets for one or two shows. Peopledon’t want to organise the little details, sowe package them al l together,” saidMaureen.Tristar Travel are affiliated to Worldchoice,which opens up a vast travel market whichtheir customers can avail of. They are one of60 travel agents in Ireland who are part ofthe Worldchoice group.“It gives us better buying power and avail-ability , as most cruise companies are Britishbased, it means that Worldchoice UK nego-tiate on our behalf, so we can pass on pricebreaks and a vast choice of destinations andtravel options to our customers.”Travel has changed dramatically over theyears from the days of the traditional stylebucket and spade holidays, to the moresophisticated holidays that need the atten-tion of specialists likeourselves. Planningholidays can be a veryhazardous exercisewhich can go drasti-cally wrong and thatis where our expertiseand experience cometo the rescue. Manypeople have come tous and said, Why didwe not come to youfirst,?” said Tom.All holidays at TristarTravel are carefullyput together, with theneeds of the customerfirst and foremost andthis level of profes-s ional ism is one ofthe reasons why thiscompany has enjoyedsuch a great level ofsupport f rom theirloyal customers overthe years, and is oneof the reasons whythey can look forwardto further success inthe years ahead.

Refusing to giveup, St. Molaga’sclawed their way backinto the game with afantastic goal, but theGaelscoil quicklyreplied with some longrange points whichstretched their lead inthe dying minutes ofthe game.

Gardens are now attheir best, withgrowth in every areaof the garden,meaning that mainte-nance is at the highestlevel. A well keptgarden reflects justhow well your houseis tended. After all,the garden is the firstthing visitors seewhen they come toyour home. A poorlytended garden isnormally a sign thatyour home isn’t muchbetter.Gardens are highmaintenance at this

time of year, so weneed to get ourgardens summerfriendly. Freshen it upby just by simplypulling out a fewweeds from the pavingand flower beds.Gardening is a good

excuse to spend sometime out in the sun.Sprinkle some grassseeds onto the lawn,this will layer it with afresh coat, making thelawn look a whole lothealthier. Take thistime to decide if yourlawn requires level-ling, and for other biggarden projects, youmay need someprofessional , locallandscapers. If thereare only small areasthat need levelling,you may be able tojust use sand, andallow the lawn time togrow through. If youneed to undertake alarger project, it isadvisable to employthe services of a good

landscaping company,which will lessen yourworkload and providea professional service.The North County hassome excellent gardencentres where staffmembers will be morethan happy to share
