Anne Colgan

On June 7, I will be seeking re-election to DLRCC to continue to represent the people of Dundrum to the best of my ability. I am asking for your support to get there. For more details on what I've done and hope to do, read more at annecolgan.ie

@dmcambrois Hi Darren, you raise the critical point. There is a chance now for a new plan. Sensitive planning and local engagement can secure Dundrum's unique character with its future as a thriving, modern place to live, work, grow up and grow old.

@Anne_Colgan Hi Anne - While the community’s concerns are acknowledged, the refusal raises a key question: what’s the vision for this pivotal Dundrum site? What are the alternatives that balance needs with housing demand? This is a major opportunity for sustainable development - what’s next?

Imagine Dundrum welcomes refusal of Planning Permission for ‘Monolithic’ 881 apartments on the old Dundrum Shopping Centre site . The refusal supports Imagine Dundrum's 170-page submission to Bord Pleanála and is a vindication of the concerns of the local community.

Thanks to DLR staff for their calm professionalism over all the hours of the election count and to party tally folks for generous sharing of data and expertise. Special thanks of course to my hardworking canvassers and family and to the voters. Great team effort all round.

Dundrum on the world stage. Speaking at a Council of Europe meeting on the Urban Charter 111 report (a set of guiding principles for urban development in Europe), for which I was proud to be a rapporteur. #LE2024

I was pleased to have the chance to address the Seanad Public Consultation on Local Democracy. I hope the TDs & Senators take note of the arguments I and other councillors made for stronger local democracy and citizens’ rights. youtube.com/watch?v=mfltw1…

Excellent article in the @IrishTimes today from @Jennifer_Bray on what voters need to know in advance of the local and European elections on June 7. irishtimes.com/politics/2024/…

This is what motivates me every day! even when the going gets tough!

Taney Playschool is due to close in June. At my request, Independent Senator Victor Boyhan has pressed Minster O’ Gorman to engage with the school to find a way to prevent what will be a huge loss to the community. annecolgan.ie/taney-playscho…

@Michael23544819 Hi Michael, that's absolutely right. The supports for people to live and thrive in new developments are really important. My colleague in Stillorgan @DDonnellyInd is excellent on issues in the area if that might be helpful too.

@Anne_Colgan Thanks Anne, That is a pity. With all the extra apartment development around Stillorgan there will be demand for extra recreation facilities.

Delighted and proud to be endorsed for the upcoming local elections for Dundrum by the tireless Senator Victor Boyhan.

@Michael23544819 Hi Michael, many thanks for the good wishes. On Glenalbyn, discussions are still underway with DLRCC & Kilmacud Crokes. Honestly, there's not much sign of this being resolved soon unfortunately. Hopefully all sides can come away happy but I know it's been a long process.

@Anne_Colgan Hi Anne, all best in your campaign. Any movement on Glenalbyn Swimming Pool being reopened?

@david_lucey Hi David, an excellent question & one that I think about a lot. I've put together a more complete answer for you here: annecolgan.ie/current-issues… I should also say that Dundrum is a wonderful place to live. But everywhere has improvements they need. It's our duty to make them happen

@Anne_Colgan What are the issues in Dundrum as you see them?
