The fmt means hopefully another

big Parade in Maynooth With all

organisations, clubs and shops taking

part.

WIll your associatIOn or club take

part? Why not find out now and

make sure. After all, it doesn't take

much time or effort, and you could

bring your club or aSSOCIatIOn to

the notIce of everybody.

The second even I Will be a much

qUieter affan, with holidays from

school and preceded by Lenl. Not

so long ago lent was a time of

fasting and penance and people

went to great lengths to endure

hardship. Nowadays we lend to

gIve up some little luxury and this

IS usually much easier to do.

How about thiS year, Instead of

giVing up somethIng, you did some

action or deed which would be

of benefit to others In the community

or elsewhere where there IS a need

or want or lack of something.

So think about It seflously and put

MATTERS

A delegation from the Community

Council recently travelled to Naas

to make an oral submission lo Kildare

County Council concerning the forth-

coming County Development plan.

The main items emphasised by the

delegatIOn were:

I. The need to proceed with

the Maynooth By-pass as soon as

possible. The link road between

Maynooth and the By-pass should

not pass through the town centre.

2. The need to maintain a Green

Bell between Maynooth and neighbour-

ing towns, and to draw up a proper

plan for future residential development

In Maynooth.

3. The need for a Plan for the

Town Centre, to ensure that future

developments are In keeping With

the eXisting characler of the area.

4. The urgent need to provide

a multi-purpose Sports Complex.

5. The need to tackle the Itinerant

problem. 6. The need to prevent commercial

redevelopment of Carton Estate,

the County Council to make every

effort to have the Eslate taken

inlo public ownership and developed

as a park and hefllage centre.

In addition to the above, the Commun-

ity Council has since submllted to

the Counly Council a list of more

specific local needs requlfing urgent

attentIOn. These include:

1. Proper lighting, road surfaces, drains and footpaths on the roads

from the Town Centre as far as

Clualn AOIbhlnn and Kingsbry /Carton

Court.

2. Adequa te

the Interests of the safety of pedest-

rians and motoflstS.

5. Extend footpath and Improve

lighting on Moyglare Road.

Mr. Pat Barton who, as always,

proVided free of charge two splendid

At the moment we are organrsmg

our Annual Church Gate Collection

to be held on Sat/Sun 23/24th tvlarch.

Unfortunately our funds at thiS

their toll of our remainmg funds.

We hope, followmg the Church Gate

CollectIOn, to be In a position to

give a further supply of fuel. We

feel that m this particularly cold

spell, old people will use more fuel

than usual.

I am therefore appealmg to everyone

'to bring a Iitlle extra cash t.o Mass

on that Sunday. Please remember

if got even the pflce of 1 packet

of cigarettes from every wage-earner

CllR. G. BRADY NOTES

Following representations made by

Cllr. Brady on behalf of the residents

of Old Greenfield regarding the back road to Old Greenfield from

the Newtown Road, the County·

Engineer has replied that

work will be undertaken in

February or early March 1985.

repair

late

The County Engineer stated that it had been agreed that the planning

of both by-passes would go ahead

hand In hand. However, the survey

of the Newbndge by-pass had been

gOing ahead for a couple of years

and the line for the northern by-pass

had not been ascertained until recently.

It was hoped that the public Inquiry

In relallOn to the Newbrldge By-Pass

would be held in April or May and

thaI the public Inquiry In relation

to the northern by-passes would not be held until towards the end

of the year. The monies provided

for advance planning on the norlhern

by-passes would be used for soil

and aerial surveys and should be

adequate for the CUI rent year.

ROAD GRANTS 1985

FollOWing circulatIOn of a letter

from the Department setting out

the allocation of Road Grants for

1985, Cllr. Brady expressed disappOint-

ment at the allocation of only

£280,000 for tldvance design on

the N4 and N7 and noted thaI In

addlt IOn I he N7 had got a further

allocation of £580,000. He stated

that the traffic on the northern

route was now very heavy and

this was particularly evident in the

town of Leixlip.

He understood that advance design

for both the northern by-pass and

the Droichead Nua By-Pass were of equal priority and asked why

the Newbridge By-Pass now appeared

to have priority over the by-passe~

of Lucan, Leixlip, Maynooth and

I am writing to you in the hope tha"c J'v-l can assist us with our BREAKAWAY Programme for 1985. This is a holiday scheme for children with Mental Handicap. Under the scheme, the children spend up to two weeks with another family in the community. The idea is to provide a home-from-home for the children, giving both parents and children a break.

I am sure that your readers would be interested in reading about this scheme and we would very much appreciate your support in our endeavour to place children with host families.

The following are important dates for our programme to be a success. Information evenings at the following venues will be held at:

ST JOHN OF GOD DAY CENTRE, ISLANDBRIDGE ON WEDNESDAY 6th MARCH at 8.00pm.

& ST RAPHAEL'S, CELBRIDGE ON WEDNESDAY 20th MARCH AT 8.00pm.

Please contact me 288161 should you further information.

Yours Sincerely, John Bohane, Social Worker.

What is Break Away?

Break away IS a holiday scheme

for children With mental handicap.

Dur I ng the year the children go

on holidays for up to two weeks,

at anyone time, to a family In

the community. The Idea is to proVide

a home from home setting, giVing

both parents and children a break.

Why was Break Away set up?

. Traditionally in Ireland, the emphasis

was on residential care for people

with mental handicap. In recent

times, this emphasis has changed

clnd familIes care for their children

. at home. ThiS is a very POSitive

move but can, in some cases put

a lot of stram on the family. Families

need support in caring for thei.

child and the opportunlt y to have

a break IS all Important.

Break Away was set

thiS need and to give

option of a family

for then child.

up to meet

families the

type holiday

Break away IS an Inter agency sch-

eme and began in Dublin m 1981.

Twenty eight children were placed

on a holiday in that first year.

The scheme was extended to the

ilOIl n east of the count ry In 1 Qf3Z,

and a total of eighty chilu,~

placed. In 1983 the scheme expanded

and over one hundred chlldr en were

placed. In 1984 the numbers placed

were similar.

Important of all, David's story .....•.

David is a 7 year old boy, who

II ves With his parents and three

sisters. He does not find it easy

to play with other children, because

he has difficulty In making himself

understood. He also finds it hard

to do things other children do. DaVid

is mentally handicapped. During

the day he attends a speCial school,

where he is being taught to feed

himself, dress himself, and is present ly

being tOIlet trained. He can be very

demanding and active, and his family

need a break from time to time.

11

F or the past few years, DaVid has

gone to a Break Away Host Family

101 hiS holidays. He adapt ed well

to the change because of the lOVing

care thiS lamily gave him. HIS parents

enjoyed the break and felt secure

that he was In good hands. The

Host Parents found that caring for

him was rewarding, challenging and

enjoyable for all the famtly.

David's story very much reflects

the feelings of most Host Families

In the scheme.

What can you expect if you become

a Host Parent? All host families who apply to the

Break Away Scheme, take part

In a preparat IOn course. ThiS invol ves

discussions on various aspects of

caring for a child who IS mentally

handicapped, including ways of coping

with very specific needs, behaviour

etc. It also gives Host Parents an

opportunity to look at the implicatIOns

for their own family. The preparation

involves visits to the centres the

children attend by day, and numerous

opportunities to get 10 know the

child they are taking and his/her

family. Every effort is made to

ensure the child goes to the family

who can best meet his needs.

recent Cross Country Races to Mr. Pearse Breslin, chairman of Maynooth A.C.

When the child IS on holidays with

the Host Family, a link is maintained

with the staff and there is a 24 hour telephone back up service.

Every efforl IS lherefore, made lo ensure lhat If problems arise,

they can be sorted out promptly.

A further safety, of contracts and Insurance cover is built inlo lhe

scheme.
