The autumn Terenure village clean-up and planting morning will take place on Saturday10^th October from 10am – 1pm. 

  

The clean-up team aims to:

• re-plant the ten large village planters around the village for the winter season,
• re-plant 11 smaller planters outside shops,
• plant some spring bulbs and
• clear up any litter or weeds around the village.

 If you have an hour or two to spare on the day the team would love to see you. 

Meet at Evergreen hall at 10am. The clean-up team has some litter pickers, brushes, shovel and gloves for use on the day but if you can bring along items for your own use (including a wheelbarrow), that would be great. 

Volunteers can join the team for a cuppa from 12.30 – 1pm.

Terenure Couples who Bought Their Home, or are Trying to - Can You Help?

The Irish Independent are preparing a feature on Irish attitudes to property over the generations.

The writer would like to speak to couples who bought a home in Terenure from the 60s, 70s, or more recently in the 2000s....as well as a young couple today who ideally would like to buy in Dublin but who are just finding it too expensive. They can also tell him why it's such a great area to live!

Interviews would be over the telephone and it should take no more than 15 minutes.

If interested, please contact Graham Clifford on 086 446 2650 or grayclifford@hotmail.com, or tweet @GrahamJClifford

Aldi opens in Terenure

At 9am this morning Aldi in Terenure opened its doors to the public for the first time. Situated in the former tram sheds on Terenure Road East, the building retains the outline of the former sheds, finished in recycled stone from the original building. Beneath the store an underground car park can accommodate over 80 cars, and by 9.45 this morning was already full.

The Association welcomes new commercial activity that benefits residents and also the regeneration of formerly empty and dilapidated buildings. However we retain reservations about the effect on traffic in particular, and also pedestrians crossing the entrance slip road, and will monitor this situation carefully. Should you have any comments or observations on these issues please get in touch.
