Update: 16 Feb 2024
The entire Haggardstown area is growing at a rapid rate, but the lack of infrastructure and amenities is so evident. Items I am working on and will continue to work on are:
1. Lack of community facilities and green open space. This is evident on the local area zoning map. This is severely lacking in the area, and we will suffer down the line without zoned land to develop for this reason.
2. Getting a functional public transport system to run through the Haggardstown area and link with Blackrock village is so vitally important. The Dublin road service is just not fit for purpose and a better system is vitally needed.
3. Shops and a commercial centre within Haggardstown are vitally needed, so that the village of Blackrock is not severely overwhelmed by the needs of the entire community.
4. The Geraldines GFC is also at capacity and needs further space to expand with their juvenile numbers reaching 500 members.
The lack of infrastructure in Blackrock effects both the community and the area. Items I am working on and will continue to work on:
1. Rock Celtic FC also needs more space urgently and is at capacity, and their membership is growing year on year.
2. Blackrock Beach Access is very dangerous and a huge Health & Safety Issue. This needs to be fixed as a matter of urgency.
3. Large parts of the Rock Road do not have a footpath, in such a built up area. This is not acceptable after all these years.
