PARKING CHAOS

We note that Father Supple has not taken up the idea of widening the doors of the church to allow motoring mass·goers to attend mass without having to get out of their cars. The chaos on Sunday mornings caused by cars parked two or three deep in the middle of the road must lead to an acci· dent soon. Huge juggernauts thread their way through the narrow channels left for them by impatient mass·goers who arrive at the last minute, and abandon their cars as close to the gates as posisble. The Newsletter sellers' nerves are in shreds, having witnessed a number of near accidents to children darting be· tween parked cars across the busy Galway road. The photograph shows a typical scene on a Sunday morning. How about coming to Mass a little bit earlier, to allow time for safe parking in the Parish Hall car Car parking on the Galway Road on a park? Sunday morning.

I n relation to the teachers arbit­ ration awards Fianna Fail deplore the damage done to the conciliation and arbitration machinery by the Coalition Government in the 1985 Arbitration Award, and are committed to restoring confidence again in the system.

Policing of Estates:- The policing of estates was' another bone of contention. Cllr Brady has been pursuing this matter and as recent as 12th February received a letter from the Minister for Justice stating that a report was expected shortly from the Garda Commisssioner in conn­ ection with policing arrangements; for North Kildare.

PLAYERS

The Larine Players, Maynooth's new drama group, got off to an excellent start on the 6th and 7th of February in the Geraldine Hall. The chosen play was Womberang, a one-act 'adult comedy', by Sue Townsend, author of the Adrian Mole books. Set in a gynaecologist's waiting-room, the play brings together an assortment of women waiting sub­ missively for their tu rn with the male specialist. Submissively, that is, until the arrival of Rita. R ita, fresh out of a psychiatric hospital on her way to the gynaecologist (there's a come down for you!) believes in speaking out and stirring things up, and soon wins her sister patients over to her side, much to the disarray of the hospitals admini­ stration. The play is effectively a series of jokes around this situation, making no great dramatic point but providing a rich opportunity for pointed comedy. In this production of what is basi­ cally an English play, a number of Irish and local references were inserted ("I saw

HOMELESS

'., 1987 has been designated the year of the homeless. Maynooth's homeless populat­ ion -the travelling people- are about to be housed on th~ir own halting site. This will be situated at Blacklion and will consist of hard stands for 6 caravans with washing and toilet facilities. Since our last report in September the County Council have accept,ed a tender which has been approved by the Dept. Work will com­ mence shortly and hopefully the travel­ lers will be settled on their new site before the summer. Having their own halting site will have many implications for Maynooth's travel­ ling population. It will get them off the roadwide into a tarmacadamed site, fully equipped with running water, sewerage and regular refuse collection. This will greatly improve the lives of the travelling people whose poor li vi ng con­ ditions, coupled with damp climate, poor hygiene, lack of toilet facilities, dirty water or no water, muddy paths, have led to impaired health and rampant disease. Bronchitis and pneumonia are among the common respiratory diseases suffered as well as gastro-intestinal diseases, skin conditions and infections of all kinds, all third world diseases. Drawing of Site Plan for Halting Site for Let's hope that the County Council Travellers at Blacklion, Dublin Road. will not enclose the site with high walls as has been done with other halting sites in the Dublin area.

TRAVELLERS IN IRELAND PROJECT

With 1987 being declared the Year of the Homeless, attention is being focussed on those members of our society who are homeless for whatever reason. The Dublin Travellers Education and Development Group are organising a project which focusses on travellers in I reland, living in houses, halting sites or roadside encampments. The group is looking for photographs, posters, poems LlVESTOO( essays or songs with a traveller theme. These can be about an event or a person CoMPOUND - real or imaginary, past or present. Entries are invited from three age groups, 4-8 years old, 8-12 years old and 12-18 years old. Members of the group are willing to visit schools to give further information. Further information about the pro­ . " ject may be obtained from Dublin Travel­ lers Education and Development Group, 16/ 17 Beresford Place, Dublin 1. The closing date is 24 April 1987. 44 OLIVER REILLY LTD. Undertakers and Complete Funeral Furnishers WREATHS HEADSTONES MOURNING COACHES
