I am pleased to confirm following further representations that I and others made today at the Joint Policing Committee both in writing and directly at todays meeting with An Garda Siochana, Chief Superintendent Curran, Superintendent Barry and the recently appointed Inspector for Swords Garda Station Brian Clune have confirmed that they are once again going to pilot a Garda Satellite clinic to serve the communities of Donabate Portrane. This will be an Evening clinic to allow for greater foot fall and will operate from Donabate Portrane Community Centre where both a safe and private space can be provided. Dates for when the Satellite clinic will become operational to be confirmed but it will be in the coming weeks.![]()

The new community policing service will be advertised extensively locally and I would encourage all in our local community to strongly support this initiative by An Garda Siochana when it commences. ![]()

My thanks to Inspector Clune, Sgt Ferguson and the Community Gardai for their continuous and ongoing commitment to policing of the Donabate Portrane peninsula which will continue alongside the new Garda Satellite clinic. Gardai have also applied for some Youth initiatives to cover the Donabate Portrane area and if successful this will also be rolled out with more information on the youth programme in the coming weeks.

Donabate Portrane Community Council is extremely disappointed and concerned about the very limited scope of the oral hearing proposed by An Bord Pleanála which will only concern possible impacts on the railway line and on the protected views from Malahide.![]()
![]()
An Bord Pleanála appears to be ignoring the many serious and significant issues which Donabate Portrane Community Council raised in respect of this most unsuitable and disproportionately high density development, which will cause irreparable damage to the protected Special Area of Conservation and the species which live in and use this area.![]()
![]()
If An Bord Pleanála ignores the very serious issues pertaining to this site, our community will continue to fight any attempt at progressing this development including, if necessary, by way of judicial review through the courts.

David Fletcher, Chairperson of Donabate Portrane Community Council stated “Thanks to everyone across all of the community for their continued support. It is clear that we are speaking in one voice, that is being heard loud and clear by the planning authority.”
Fingal County Council has commissioned Sinead Begley & Associates to carry out a heritage audit to identify heritage sites and features of interest in Donabate and Portrane and provide recommendations on the best way to highlight and interpret these. The audit and plan will be a resource to inform future projects to protect and promote the heritage of the area. As part of the process, we’d like to hear the views of the community.
