Introduction:

The F.A.B.
Community
Network Services Group is an organisation recently established by a group of
concerned residents to deal with issues within the Firhouse and Bohernabreena
residential areas.  These issues
include traffic, parks, litter, social awareness & community development. If
you have any issues you would like to raise or if you would be in a position to
help out as much or as little as your lifestyle allows, please contact us.

If you would like to be kept up to

FUN-DAY:

F.A.B. is
currently organising a Family Fun-Day on Sunday, 11th June from 2 – 5
p.m. in Ballycragh Park (opp. Scholar’s Pub).  This will incorporate athletics, fun
races, face painting, penalty shoot-out, soccer, a D.J. & many other events
to keep all the family entertained.
Winners in the athletics will automatically qualify to represent the
Bohernabreena Parish in the Community Games.  The Bohernabreena parish includes the
following areas: -

-
Bohernabreena; Glenasmole; Allenton: Old Court; Ely; Ferncourt;
Beechdale;

Oakdale; Daletree; Wood Dale & Parklands.

The day promises
to be a lot of fun and we look forward to your support.

LOCAL
ISSUES:

F.A.B. are
raising local issues with South Dublin County Council on an on-going basis.  We have had discussions regarding
traffic problems in the area, litter & Ballycragh Park

We are hoping to
organise a deputation to meet with the Council in the near future.  If you have concerns now is your chance
to have them voiced on your behalf. Please make contact with us via any of the
above channels & we will be happy to raise your concerns with the Council
when we meet.

YOUTH DROP-IN:

We are hoping to
organise a weekly youth drop-in night in the Firhouse Community Centre in
September.  This is currently in the
planning stage and any local residents who would like to get involved should
contact us at one of the above contact numbers.

This is aimed at
the 15+ age group.  It will be
unlike a youth club in that that the youths decide what they want to do
themselves, i.e. play cards, playstation, listening to music, or playing musical
instruments, etc. There will be adult supervision, but there will be no
interference from the adults unless deemed necessary.

Junk Collection:

South Dublin
county council carry out junk collections on a yearly basis.  We have managed to have Ballycullen
View, Daletree & Oakdale included on the list for the next collection, which
will take place in late July / early August.  Residents will be notified by letter
approx. 1 week in advance.  It was
only possible to have three areas included this time round.  However, we did give them the names of
the other estates in the Parish and have been assured that they will be included
in subsequent years.

Ballycragh Park:

Park Ranger
-   Mr.

We are hoping to
arrange a walk around Ballycragh Park (opp. Scholars) with the Park Warden at 10
a.m. on Friday, 9th June. This has yet to be confirmed.  For more information please contact Mary
Roberts at 087 9067225.

Other
Information:

Please note that
contact numbers for local groups or amenities can all be obtained on our
website. These include:

-
The Young Mother’s Group; Mobile Library; local G.A.A. or Soccer
Clubs;

Citizens Advice; Community Guards, etc.

ENJOY THE FUN DAY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO
SEEING YOU ALL THERE!
