All contributors who write for the Bank Closures Shock the Community. Mayfield is to lose both its banks in the near future. Permanent TSB and AIB branches in Mayfield are closing as part of a nationwide reduction in bank branches. These closures have caused shock and dismay in our community. We sympathise with staff members who may lose their jobs. This will leave our community without a retail banking service, and cause great inconvenience to consumers and local businesses. Given that both banks are effectively in state ownership, surely there should have been consultation on this matter, perhaps retaining one of the two banks locally. It is obvious that no consideration was given to community needs in this case. Such an outlet would have a greater customer base and probably be viable. The loss of ATM facilities will persuade some customers to shop at other centres where ATM is convenient. An Post should respond too by extending the range of its services available through local post offices. A PTSB customer in Mayfield will have to travel to North Main Street to lodge cash and cheques. Given the entire banking saga that all but broke the economy and the state, there is room for a new type of Co-Op Bank in Ireland, dedicated to the needs of the customer. Fine Gael North Central Deputy, Dara Murphy, has made representation to both Banks on their decisions, asking them to reconsider, in the light of the economic damage to the Mayfield Community that may result from their actions. Local Community Associations also, have expressed anger at the proposed moves. See update on this story on page 15 11c Silversprings Road, Mayfield, Cork. Continuing to service the financial needs of the community for over 45 years.

Donie has lots of community experience, particularly in the area of Disability . He has previously served as a board member and chairperson of Blackpool Community Centre. John Mallon has been appointed through the Tus programme and he will be working in reception in the afternoons as well as helping with Mayfield Matters Community Newsletter. We look forward to working with them both. Work has continued on our Community Garden by a very dedicated team of volunteers. They were seen leaving the Centre weekly, with their healthy home grown produce such as Potatoes, Peas, Beans, Carrots and Herbs. We still look forward to harvesting the Strawberries. This garden will be officially launched on Wednesday 12th September at 11 am by the Lord Mayor, all welcome. We would also like to encourage new members to join the group. The gardening group would like to acknowledge the kind donation from the Electric Bar & Restaurant, South Mall, Cork. Their contribution will help to provide tools and equipment for the group. Following on the recent Community Clean Up organised by Mayfield Action on Suicide, we would like to support the setting up of an Environment Group that would be willing to be actively involved in improving the appearance of our area. If you would like to help and become involved please contact Patricia in the CDP. We will also be taking names etc at the CEN Open Day on the 12th September in the Mayfield CDP Resource Centre. Mayfield CDP is working closely with Pepsi Co as part of Business in the Community Initiative. As part of this we hope in September to provide workshops for women looking to return to the workplace and for women who have been made redundant recently . The workshops will include interview techniques and aptitude tests. Once again this year, the Buses to Youghal were very popular and for 4 weeks, 2 full buses left Mayfield on Thursday mornings . Thanks to the groups who funded these trips. A further Community Market is being planned for October 26th with a change of venue to St. Joseph’s Community Centre. Look out for further news in the next issue of Mayfield Matters. The Yoga Group is back on Wednesday nights with very limited spaces, so ring Patricia at the CDP to book a place. Thanks to Glen Walsh, our student on placement during the summer, who visited all the groups and businesses in Mayfield to get updates for our Community Directory. We are now looking for funding for it to be published again Thanks also to the Tus team for its assistance in painting the Hallway in the Centre and helping with the Community Garden by building a wall etc. Its support is greatly appreciated. We are seeking volunteers to support the Mayfield Youth Café on Friday nights. If you are interested with working with young people, give a call to the CDP. Training will be provided.

In 117 701mg days I became associated with the Cera1dne Football Club andthrough that association I became acquainted With Jack Shouldice, Frank Shouldice, Liam O'Flaherty, Martin O'Flaherty, Seamus O'Plaherty-, Maurice Coflins, Harry Boland and Joseph Parker, all of whom took part in the Rising. Coming on to the outbreak of War, 1914, all of these men had joined the Volunteer Movement and they immediately started to enrol new members. As I lived on the South side of the City I went into it, with Lien O'Flaherty of "B" Company of the 4th Battalion. The Battalion at that time was commandedby Eamonn Ceannt; the O/C. of "B" Company was George Irvine, 1st. Lieutenant Liam Cosgrave and 2nd. Lieutenants Willie Corrigan and Phil. Cosgrave. I did not take part in the Howth Gun Running, as on that day the Geraldines were a match a Wexford Team for playing against at! Kilkenny the Leinster Championships and it was not until we returned to the city that we heard of the Howth Gun Running and the at shooting Bachelor's Walk.
