In May I asked Dublin City Council to arrange for cul de sac signs to be erected at Springfield and Regal Park entrances on Blackhorse Avenue. My request was referred to the Traffic Officer and I am pleased that Dublin City Council has erected cul de sac signs at the entrances to both roads. Hopefully this will reduce the number of cars mistakenly turning into these roads. Mary

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
