Active Wise Walk and Fun Activities in Bushy Park on Sunday 26th April

Following the success of last year’s Portion Wise Walk for the boys at St Joseph's BNS, a bigger event has been planned to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity so that both adults and children enjoy being Active Wise. To coincide with the close of the school’s Healthy Eating and Active Living Weeks, there'll be an Active Wise Walk and Fun Activities in Bushy Park on Sunday 26th April at 3PM (weather permitting) so look out for their banners, posters and leaflets publicising the event around Terenure or follow them on www.portionwise.net.

With help from the local schools, parents and Dublin City Council, the event aims to encourage children and adults to share some experience of activities, by trying a new activity or even revisiting an old one. 

There'll be a brisk warm-up before the short walk around the upper level of Bushy Park along the footpath followed by a variety of activities planned for after the Active Wise Walk  on the front pitch closest to the tennis courts.

Garda Alert - Beware these Fraudsters, and Bank Card Skimming

We have been advised by Terenure Gardai of the following:

1. Two male teenagers are using false or stolen headed notepaper from a local college in order to allegedly carry out collections for a prominent charity. Beware - they are bogus!


2. There has recently been an outbreak of ATM skimming of bank cards at ALL banks in Rathmines. (This is where fraudsters use card reading devices either inserted into the card slot or over it so that when you put your card into the machine it can surreptitiously read its magnetic strip. Small cameras placed over the keypad then film you entering your PIN.) If you have used an ATM in Rathmines recently, ensure you carefully check your statements for suspicious activity and inform the bank immediately if you discover anything amiss.


3. With summer coming and more activity in the garden, thefts will increase. You are urged to be vigilant, keep doors locked, and take particular care of gardening tools while working in the garden.


4. Following recent incidents, the Garda wish to repeat the warning not to keep large sums of money in the house.

(c) The 60 no. undercroft car parking spaces shall be available for customers of the supermarket only. Prior to the commencement of development, the applicant shall submit to, and agree in writing with, the planning authority details of the proposed management of the car parking associated with the supermarket. 
Reason: In the interest of orderly development and prevention of commuter parking.
