ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
DICK THOMPSON
(formerly Carrick Court)
Evelyn and the family of the late Dick Thompson would like to
thank all those who sympathised with us on our recent sad
loss. Thanks to our neighbours, those who attended the
funeral Mass; those who sent Mass cards, letters of sympathy.
Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Beaumont Hospital and
St. Francis Hospice for all their care.
Special thanks to Monsignor Alex Stenson for the
lovely Mass and to Florrie for the beautiful singing.
MUSINGS
The famous American Trappist monk and spiritual writer, Thomas Merton
(1915-68) once wrote that ‘the inspirations of the Holy Spirit are quiet,
for God speaks in the silent depths of the spirit. It does not arouse
excitement, but allays it, because excitement belongs to uncertainty.’ In
another place he cautioned ‘If we strive to be happy by filling all the
silences of life with sound, productive by turning all life’s leisure into
work, and real by turning all our being into doing, we will only succeed
in producing a hell on earth.’
****
Ragheed Ganni was a young Chaldean Catholic priest from Mosul, Iraq,
who was a student at the Irish College, Rome. Despite the obvious
dangers, he returned to Iraq after his studies to minister to his people
there. Despite numerous threats he remained with them, claiming that
‘Without Sunday, without the eucharist the Christians in Iraq cannot
survive’ and that ‘the Eucharist gives us back the life that the terrorists
seek to take away.’
He would pay the ultimate price when he was targeted and killed by
gunmen outside his church on 3 June 2007. Many Christians today
continue to re-trace Christ’s steps when they are faced with sacrificing
their very lives.

Prayer for the Middle-aged
Lord, you know I am growing older,
keep me from becoming talkative
and possessed with the idea
that I must express myself on every subject.
Release me from the craving
to straighten out everyone’s affairs.
Keep me from the recitation of endless details.
Give me wings to get to the point.
Seal my lips when I am inclined
to tell of my aches and pains.
They are increasing with the years
and my love to speak of them
grows sweeter as time goes by.
Teach me the glorious lesson
that occasionally I may be wrong.
Make me thoughtful and not nosey,
helpful but not bossy.
With my vast store of wisdom and experience,
it does seem a pity not to use it all.
But, you know, Lord,
that I want a few friends at the end.

A WORD FROM FR. GARY
On June 18th I travelled to Fatima with a group from Donaghmede and Edenmore Parishes. They
were an absolute pleasure to be with, the pilgrimage was nicely balanced between religious
ceremonies and time for oneself. Indeed the week went by so quickly; which is always a positive
sign.
It was my first occasion to visit Fatima. I went with an open heart and mind returning with a very
positive attitude and spirit. In my experience Fatima is a peaceful and quiet place to find rest in
the presence of Our Blessed Lady and be gently directed to her son Jesus.
It is very much a place to find oneself in prayer. I speak of a sense of being given the opportunity
just to be renewed in the presence of Christ. From time to time we all need this type of
experience, it helps to ground ourselves in the Lord, nourishing our souls and spirits in prayer and
reflection. It is no coincidence that the core message of Fatima is one of prayer, given that the
ambiance is very inviting and tranquil
Me pictured with the
group leaders Noreen and Jim
The many people there struck me, from various backgrounds and age groups. The hand of God was at work as people flocked
towards this Marian Shrine, no doubt with their own needs and intentions. I took the occasion to remember our needs and
prayers as a parish community.
If you get the opportunity to visit this Marian Shrine I recommend it is an ideal place to be
renewed in Our Lord through the direction of Our Lady of Fatima. Pictures show some of
the images from the sanctuary of Fatima including a statue of Pope John Paul II.
LOUISE FITZPATRICK BIG PICNIC IN AID OF BARRETSTOWN
The 6th annual picnic took place at Malahide Castle on Saturday 21st June 2014. No worries about the weather, it was a beautiful sunny
day. Loads of food and drink, lovely people, gorgeous babies, great music.....all added up to make a great Picnic.
Just over €2000 was raised on the day, bringing the total over the six years to €16,406 ........this is a wonderful achievement and of
immense help to Barretstown. Each year it costs almost €5 million to run the programmes at Barretstown - many young people with serious
illnesses, including Louise, have benefited from a trip there. Our thanks to all who contributed to this fund.
Thanks to Dunnes Stores, Portmarnock for very generously giving us the soft drinks and all the ingredients for the delicious sandwiches
which were available at the Big Picnic; to all the sandwich makers who gave of their time and energy; to Deirdre, Richard, Anne and Dermot
who organize the event so well every year; to those who brought food and cakes; to the musicians who were brilliant as always; to those
who looked after the tent and to everyone who turned up on the day and who contributed in any way.

for such feedback. [email protected]
And just a reminder
of what you need to access this facility:
You’ll need a computer (Desktop, Laptop, iPhone etc.)

We hope that people who are house-bound or
parishioners living abroad will find this a welcome
development.

Enjoying the celebrations with Fr. Micheál
L to R: Mary Gallagher, Betty Ennis and Gerry Blacker
June 2014
Dear Gabrielle and Margaret
Please convey my heartfelt thanks to everyone in the parish for the
wonderful celebration on the 13th June for the golden anniversary of my
ordination. The wholehearted participation at the mass and the
wonderful congregational singing made it a very special liturgy. I was
particularly honoured and delighted that so many people came to
celebrate with me. It was great meeting on a happy occasion and it was
an evening that I will recall with fond memories. The only regret was
that I didn't get a chance to have a chat with everyone who came. My
thanks too to Sarah who organised the reception afterwards. As usual
the talented bakers turned up trumps and produced a wonderful feast.
Thank you to all who went to so much bother to ensure that no one
went home hungry.
I am well settled here in Eadestown, T.G., but a part of me still lives in
Portmarnock. That is why I wished to have a mass there. Portmarnock is
a very special and blessed parish. May it always be so.
Thank you once again.
May God bless everyone in St. Anne’s

Bottle Breaking in St. Helen’s Schools
Dear Editor,
Following on from our letter last September, we are happy to
report, that due to the assistance of local residents and parents,
the incidents of weekend underage drinking and bottle breaking
in our schools (St. Helen’s NS) has reduced.
However, as we have completed another school year, we would
urge parents and local residents to be extra vigilant during the
summer months to ensure this practice does not re-emerge.
There were numerous incidents last summer where groups of
teenagers would gather in our playgrounds during school
closures and would not only engage in underage drinking but
would then undertake needless vandalism by breaking the
bottles.
An Garda Síochána will continue to patrol these grounds on a
regular basis over the summer months and convictions will be
pursued if offenders are captured. Entry to a number of
countries including USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia
will NEVER be granted to people carrying criminal
convictions. Teenagers should be aware of this fact if they are
planning on engaging in this anti-social activity.
Parents, please also continue to be vigilant in knowing the
whereabouts of your teenagers and their activities over this
period.
We would like to thank all the local residents and parents for
their assistance with this vigilance and would urge everyone
once again, to play our part in protecting our young children and
providing them with a safe environment in which to learn.

PORTMARNOCK SINGERS
The Portmarnock Singers would like to thank all who supported us in our concert on Sunday 1st June. We would like to
thank Fr. Gary and Fr John for allowing us to use St Anne's Parish Church for the concert. It was a wonderful night and the
venue was ideal as can be seen from photo below. Thanks also to all who gave generously to our raffle and helped us to
raise €6,000 for our chosen charity, The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association
We were delighted to welcome the Aber Valley Male Voice Choir to sing with us here in Portmarnock. They come from near
Cardiff in Wales and gave a beautiful performance of the Welsh songs that we all know and love. And thanks to the world
wide web the concert was viewed in many places around the world.
It was a great end to a very successful year. We took part in Navan and New Ross Choral festivals in May and won first prize
in the Gospel section in New Ross. So now it is time for a well deserved rest and we look forward to returning in September
to start rehearsals for our Christmas Concert.

with 4th class St. Marnock's National School and local third level
students, with the support of the Arts Office at Fingal County
Council. This year also involved transition year students from
Portmarnock Community School, who helped the children
design and construct their sculptures. Now in its 7th year, the
theme 'transport' yielded a hot air balloon, a rocket, a ship, a
bus, a space-ship and a limousine, all made from sand, shells,
stones and sea-weed. The sculptures remained on Portmarnock
Beach until nightfall, when the tide came in, washing them
away on its retreat.

FINGAL MATTERS
Blue Flag and Green Coast Awards
The coveted international Blue Flag is flying over Portmarnock's
Velvet Strand again. To be awarded a Blue Flag, a beach has to meet
strict criteria on water quality, safety, and litter, and visitor facilities
must be top class. A second smaller flag 'Green Coast' is also flying
at Portmarnock's beach.
The Green Coast Award is regionally organised in Ireland, Northern
Ireland and Wales. It is a symbol of environmental excellence and
has been established to acknowledge, promote and protect the
environment of rural beaches. These are also prized for their natural,
unspoilt environment.
An important aspect of the Green Coast Awards is the involvement
of Clean Coasts groups of which there are now over 400 comprised
of thousands of volunteers throughout Ireland. The awards form one
part of a two stage programme called Clean Coasts. The second part
of the programme is called Coast Care.
Commendation must be given to the local Coast Care groups under
the umbrella of the Portmarnock Community Association (PCA):
==>
The Coastcare and Beach Committee, led by Angela Bury and
Maire O'Brien, ably supported locally by many including
Catherine and Betty.
==>
The PCA's regular beach clean-up and involvement in the
national Clean Coast and Spring Clean efforts.
The launch of the national Clean Coast Week promotion campaign,
organized by An Taisce, took place on Portmarnock's Velvet Strand
this year. This received much national media coverage. An Taisce has
been doing tremendous work in promoting beach and coastal
management throughout Ireland. It also is the Irish co-ordinator of
the Blue Flag and Green Coast Awards. In that respect much credit
has to be given to Annabel Fitzgerald, Coastal Programmes
Manager, An Taisce, who has spearheaded improvements in coastal
management throughout Ireland. Annabel is a proud local
Portmarnock resident and has always given good local advice and
support.
Footpath on Blackwood Lane
Mick Lorigan, Fingal's Director of Transportation Services has
confirmed directly that the footpath on Blackwood Lane is going
ahead. Fingal Co Council's Property section and the Law Department
are presently arranging the formal transfer of the lands required for
the work at the location on Blackwood Lane. The landowner has
always confirmed his co-operation in that undertaking. Once the
legalities have been sorted out, it is hoped to advance the project.
New Fingal Council
Under the national 'Putting People First' programme Fingal County
Council increased the number of elected Councillors from 24 to 40 in
the recent Local Elections. Increased powers are expected to be
provided to the local authorities and in Dublin the Area Committees
will be key in local decision making. The Howth-Malahide Area
Committee representation increased from five to eight members.
The Howth-Malahide Area extends from Airside in Swords to Howth.
This includes Holywell/Drynam, Kinsealy, Malahide, Cloghran,
Balgriffin, Portmarnock, Baldoyle, Bayside, Sutton and Howth. In the
recent elections there were three local Portmarnock candidates,
Judy Dunne, Maire O'Toole and Brian McDonagh.
The tally of the results show that there was a relatively low turnout
of 40% in Portmarnock. This was caused not only by a number of
people being away on holiday at the time but also probably
disillusionment about national issues. However approximately 50%
of the first preference votes in Portmarnock went to the local
candidates. With transfers and eventually passing the Quota
(approximately 2000 votes) Brian McDonagh was elected
Councillor. The eight Area Committee Councillors elected
represented a complete cross-section of the political spectrum.
Ironically from a geographic point of view four of the Councillors live
in Howth.

Flights of Fancy
Third Annual Southern Cross Day
15th June 2014
This year the Southern Cross Day was a wonderful success. We were blessed with the
weather and as a venue the Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links was ideal. Many thanks to the
hotel and their very hard-working staff for the venue, the great barbeque food and the terrific service.
As ever the grant from the Dublin Airport Authority was invaluable and we are very grateful to them as it covers all the hidden extras
that go into making the day possible.
The singers and musicians were amazing. The Sea Sharps Barbershop Chorus were on top form and opened the afternoon under musical
director Dennis O’Hora. The group from the Portmarnock Singers looked and sounded great and their outfits were so elegant. Ray
Crawford on guitar and Donal Branagan on ukulele kept us entertained. Donal is a ukulele virtuoso and is always a delight to watch.
Thanks also to Bridget Heffernan for her set – what a voice!
A big special thanks to Tony Kenny for putting in a surprise appearance. We all loved his Al Johnson set.
The afternoon would not have been complete without the appearance of the Bathing Belles with their brilliant dance routine to the
music of ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’. Many thanks to Catherine for her choreography and her patience.
The afternoon ended with Mr Gay and his City Gents. They blew us away and we could have danced all night.
It was great to see Pat Fox and his lovely old car. It just added to the glamour of the day. Many thanks , Pat.
This year Patrick Maguire brought along some of his friends from the 1930s Swing Dance Group.
They were spectacular to watch, their outfits looked amazing and it encouraged us all to get up to dance. Again, many thanks for
contributing to the success of the afternoon.
We would particularly like to thank all the people who came to support us and our celebration of these important historical events that
make up the history of Portmarnock. A very big thank you to all those who joined in the fun and came in 1930s outfits. It added so
much to everyone’s enjoyment.
As ever, ideas for next year are always welcome.

“Does your spouse have dementia?”
A new study in Trinity College Dublin is looking to gain an insight into the health and
wellbeing of those who care for their spouse/partner with dementia. If you are a caregiver
aged over 50 years and living with a partner who has Alzheimer’s disease or another form
of dementia you may be interested in taking part. Please see details below.
Study background
In Ireland much of dementia care is provided by informal caregivers who are frequently spouses. This type of care is a vital and invaluable
resource associated with better quality of life and positive health outcomes for the person with dementia. However, it can be challenging
for the person providing care. We feel it is extremely important that the impact of caregiving on the caregiver is considered and that the
health and wellbeing of caregivers is understood and protected.
Aims for the study
Our research is looking to gain an insight into the health and wellbeing of Irish spousal dementia caregivers, and to examine what factors
are associated with both positive and negative health outcomes for caregivers. For example, we will look for factors that might protect
people from the effects of stress.
The ultimate goal is to inform policy, future research and the development of targeted interventions in order to improve caregiver health.
Participants needed
You might be able to help us. We are looking for people who are aged 50 years and over and providing care at home for their spouse or
partner with dementia.
What’s involved?
One baseline assessment at the beginning of the study and an optional follow up 12 months later. No travel is necessary. We can visit your
home or meet in a local centre at your convenience.
Assessment involves:
• answering questions about your role as a caregiver, your lifestyle and your wellbeing.
• completing tasks that measure various aspects of mental function e.g. memory and attention.
• providing saliva samples (optional), which can be used to examine physiological data on stress and genetic factors that may be linked
with healthy ageing.
The study is funded by the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and the Health Research Board under the Medical Research Charities Group funding
scheme.

NEWS FROM THE PCA
sleepers on the revetment. There is still some work to be
done in the autumn. Our thanks to FCC workers on the ground
for the work they are doing and for continuing to liaise with
our Beach Committee.
Soil is not suitable for dunes as it will not support dune
grasses and would eventually lead to their disappearance.
The grasses hold the sand dunes together. Some are salt
tolerant and can endure whatever the waves throw at them.
Marram can grow through the sand deposited by the wind
and develop long root systems from which they can
regenerate thus creating tall dunes. Human pressure on the
dunes speeds up their breakdown. This is the reason why we
ask people and sports teams not to use the dunes for training
or exercise. The dunes also support a vast array of flowers
coming into bloom at different times of the year. Butterflies
and bees thrive on the nectar from these flowers.
Blue Flag and Green Coast Flag for Portmarnock
How delightful it was to behold two flags fluttering over our
Velvet Strand by Thursday 5th June. Not only had we seen the
return of the Blue Flag but it was joined this year by a Green
Coast Flag! Only 8 beaches in Ireland succeeded in gaining
both awards! The Blue Flag is recognition of the excellent
water quality as well as fulfilling all the other safety
requirements necessary to gain this award.
Ongoing work on the beach and dunes
It was very much a race against the clock to meet the
deadline for the flags and make our beach and dunes safe for
visitors. Portmarnock coastline had taken a hammering with
the winter storms but fortunately was saved the devastation
suffered by beaches on the west coast of Ireland. Thanks to
the vigilance of our Beach Committee they noticed that the
contractors employed by Fingal were depositing soil on our
dunes and beach as part of the repair work. Some of this soil
had to be removed but the rest was used to fill in behind the

The Green Coast Flag
The Green Coast Flag is awarded as recognition of local
community input. It is a symbol of environmental excellence
and has been established to acknowledge, promote and
protect the beaches throughout all of Ireland and Wales. Our
Beach Committee as well as our volunteers who do a
fortnightly clean-up of beach and dunes throughout the
summer and autumn can take credit for this award. We are
grateful to the management and staff of Portmarnock Hotel
and Golf Links for supporting our efforts.
Happy Holidays!
We wish all in our community a very happy holiday be they
at home or away. Let’s hope the sun keeps shining us like last
year glorious summer!!
