There was a well attended and well run Public meeting held last night ( 21st April) hosted by the Rathgar Residents Association. The formal was simple all those on the Panel had two minutes to introduce ourselves and there then followed a Question and Answer session. All three Labour Councillors attended as did most of the other Public Representatives and candidates. The surprise for me was that two of the candidates did not speak at all but sure maybe I spoke too much. The Gardai were also represented on the panel.

Issues covered were mainly local. Policing and Crime, Planning, cleaning of Gullies, Local Government Reform and Financing, Traffic and Parking matters and facilities for and consultation with young people. The session went on till after 10.00pm and could have gone on longer given the questions. It is exactly the sort of meeting that should be taking place at a local level throughout the year and I certainly welcomed the opportunity to engage with those present on the issues. All the Councillors agreed to follow up on the issues raised and no doubt many will feature on the agenda of the next Area Committee.
