For months I have been asking Dublin City Council to repair Blackhrose Avenue – the road surface has been in an appalling condition. Yesterday DCC finally advised me that this weekend, weather permitting, Road Maintenance will repair the stretch between Villa Park & Nephin Road. The work from Villa Park to Baggot road is progressing and the manager took on board my request for the contractor to try and speed up the work and reduce the inconvenience for residents on Martins Grove. I will keep on top of this.
Japan
I was proud to represent the Oireachtas Committee for Enterprise, Tourism and employment on our recent delegation to Japan. For almost 70 years Ireland has enjoyed strong diplomatic relations with Japan. Ireland opened it’s first embassy in Tokyo in 1974 In 2025 Ireland renewed and strengthened its presence in Japan
