As chair of the Dublin Central Joint Policing Committee I work with the Gardai, Dublin City Council and the local community to fight crime in our area. Since the closure of Whitehall Garda Station the Gardai operate a weekly clinic in Corpus Christi. Gardai and Dublin City Council attend the Drumcondra Glasnevin local policing forum that was established as part of the roll-out of local forums in Dublin Central under my chairpersonship. The next meeting of the Drumcondra Glasnevin Forum will take place in The Maples Hotel on Wednesday October 2nd @ 7.30pm. Anyone living in the area is invited to attend the forum to address issues of concern with the Gardai, Dublin City Council and your elected representatives.
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
