SF blamed for holding up centre!
Thats the headline on the Northside people (West) this week. Apparently SF are giving out in Leinster House because of the lack of government action in providing centres for the elderly around the country. One site was looked at recently which happens to be at the bottom of my mothers road in Finglas.
For years this small green space was left lying in an awful state. Rubbish was dumped, grass wasnt cut etc. The councils reason for not looking after it- they didnt know who owned it. Only in recent years was it landscaped from the eyesore it once was. And now the council want to build on it. This green area is used by umpteen kids year round who arent allowed off the road by their parents.
It wasnt SF who objected to this it was the residents who for years campaigned to have it landscaped. Fair play to SF for supporting the residents who after all elect these councils into place!
Pat Carey should resign his position for making comments like this trying to score political points. Finglas is in its present state due to the bad decisions made by consecutive FF representatives in our area. Lack of amenites is nobodys fault only theirs.
Its a bit rich for Pat Carey voting to build on any amount of green space in the area when he doesnt even live here. Id say its nice and green in Ashbourne or wherever he resides!
