Children's Services in Fingal Fall 08 2013 Children’s Services in Fingal: A Profile of the Services provided by Statutory, Community and Voluntary Sector Organisations to Children and Families Report for Fingal Children’s Services Committee Author: Niall Watters & Associates, Research & Consultancy Services www.niallwattersresearch.ie August 2013 Acknowledgements Like most, if not all, research activities culminating in a report such as this, the process was a collaborative undertaking carried out over the course of a number of months. While the researcher undertook the field and analytical research and subsequently authored the report, this was in no little way supported and driven by the Information Sub Group of Fingal Children’s Services Committee (FCSC) to whom thanks is due. The members of this group are: - Conor Ryan, Research and Evaluation Officer, Blanchardstown Area Partnership (Chairperson of the Sub Group) - Peter Foran, Co-ordinator, Fingal Children's Services Committee and Senior Manager, Health Service Executive - Dr. Emma Clare, Senior Research and Development Officer, Health Service Executive - Tom Crean, Co-ordinator, Schools Completion Programme – Dublin 15 - Adrienne Streek, Development Officer, Fingal County Childcare Committee - Shauna Whelan, Youth Justice Worker, Baldoyle and Swords Youth Service - Seamus Tracy, Garda Juvenile Liaison Officer, An Garda Siochana - Margaret Joyce, Daughters of Charity - Breffni O’Rourke, Rapid Co-ordinator, Fingal County Council While this research - audit and mapping of children’s services in Fingal - was deemed by FCSC’s Information Sub Group through its analysis to be crucial to the continuing development and knowledge base of the Fingal CSC, it was facilitated ostensibly by the funding applied to and granted by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs. The Department had initially recognised in its preparatory work on the establishment of the CSCs the need for such information to be identified and made available. Nonetheless, the award of funding by the Department was forward thinking given the pressure on Departmental budgets in the context of scarce public resources. On a personal basis, the researcher is particularly grateful to the Chairperson of the sub group, Conor Ryan, who along with Peter Foran Co-ordinator of the FCSC, drove the research along and provided valuable advice and direction. They were ably assisted at research overview meetings by Emma Clare and Adrienne Streek of the HSE and Fingal County Childcare Committee respectively. Thanks are also due to the considerable work undertaken by two TUS Workers: the first of whom painstakingly compiled the initial database of children’s services in Fingal and the second of whom that assisted in making numerous telephone calls to organisations and services on the database whose contact information was incorrect or partial. Finally, it is important to thank all those who completed surveys for the research (211 children’s services) and the almost thirty representatives of organisations who took part in the three regional focus groups. As with all research of this nature, it is the researcher alone who is responsible for the content of the report.

  • December 2020 Newsletter
    Parishes of Swords Clonmethan Kilsallaghan Donabate and Lusk Newsletter December 2020 Notes from the Rector Illness We continue to remember in our prayers all those who are ill. In particular at this time, we pray for Jean Ellerker, Peter McMurtry, Cecil Lee and Agnes Wilson. Parish Registers – Bereavement – Maud Keogh Deepest sympathy is extended to the Keogh and Lee families on the death of Maud Keogh. Maud spent the last six weeks of her life at her home in Ballyboughal under the loving care of her family. Maud was known as an artist who won a number of awards, and was involved with the Flavours of Fingal festival. She was originally from Donabate, was a great supporter of the annual Church Fete there and also supported fundraising events for Saint Columba's Church in Swords. She was the beloved wife of the late Paddy Keogh, and is sadly missed by her loving children Helga, Glenn, Vanessa, Leigh, Sorrell and Ashley, also her brothers Cecil and John, sister-in-law Doreen Lee, and the wider family. The Rector led a service of thanksgiving for her life, which took place on Monday the 26th October at her home, followed by interment at Saint Mary's, Clonmethan. May the peace and love of God continue to surround you all. Remembrance Sunday For Remembrance Sunday this year, we had a YouTube online service to remember all those who lost their lives in the two great wars of the 20th Century and in all conflicts since. Special thanks go to David Scott who sang 'Abide With Me' so beautifully for the service which included scenes of the square and round tower at Saint Columba's Church and also beautiful scenes of North County Dublin.

  • Parishes of Swords Clonmethan Kilsallaghan Donabate and Lusk Newsletter November 2020
    Parishes of Swords Clonmethan Kilsallaghan Donabate and Lusk Newsletter November 2020 Notes from the Rector Online Church Services We had considered stopping the online services in October. However, Dublin went into Level 5 and the churches were shut again, making the decision for us. We are now resolved that we will keep the online services going for the rest of this year, including special Christmas services. The exact format will be decided closer to the time but it will be in line with government regulations. We are very grateful to everybody that contributes to the services and draw special attention to David Scott (www.davidscottsinger.com) for his wonderful singing each Sunday. You can find the services by typing Donabate, Lusk, Swords, Kilsallaghan into a YouTube search bar. Parish Registers – Bereavement - George Skerrit Deepest sympathy is extended to the staff of Saint Ita's Hospital, Portrane, and to Sandy Skerrit, Australia, on the death of George Skerrit. George spent his whole life in Saint Ita's Hospital, as his father worked in Saint Ita's and then George became a patient there from an early age. A service of thanksgiving for George's life was held in Rock's Funeral Home Swords by the Rector on the 29th September, and burial took place in Saint Jerome's Cemetery afterwards. May the peace of love of God continue to surround you all. Harvest Celebrations The Harvest services for Saint Patrick's Church, Donabate and Saint Columba's Church, Swords, took place on the respective Sundays of the 27th of September and the 4th of October by YouTube.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

  • Record of Protected Structures Appendix 2
    Record of Protected Structures Appendix 2 31 APPENDIX 2: RECORD OF PROTECTED STRUCTURES APPENDIX 2 RECORD OF PROTECTED STRUCTURES NOTE: A major review of the RPS took place in 2016 with a number of additions, amendments and deletions. The review of the Record of Protected Structures (RPS) is an ongoing process. Additions to and deletions from the RPS can continue to be made throughout the life of the Development Plan and therefore an up-to-date electronic version of the RPS will be maintained on the Fingal County Council webpage. The numbering sequence has tried to group entries by geographical location but this is not always possible, in particular when new additions are made to the RPS as these are included at the end of the list, and so the Development Plans maps should also be consulted when seeking to identify Protected Structures. Gaps in the numbering sequence relate to entries that have been deleted from the RPS after going through a statutory process. THE DEFINITION OF A “STRUCTURE” IN THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT 2000 IS: Any building, structure, excavation, or other thing constructed or made on, in or under any land, or any part of a structure so defined, and – (a) where the context so admits, includes the land on, in or under which the structure is situate, and (b) in relation to a protected structure or proposed protected structure, includes – (i) the interior of the structure, (ii) the land lying within the curtilage of the structure, (iii) any other structures lying within that curtilage and their interiors, and (iv)
