Thanks to the community:
Thanks again for the outpouring support, we want an inclusive social space in Blanchardstown that is accessible, environmentally beneficial and supports the access of young parents, children, disabled people, workers, the elderly, anyone with mobility issues and the rest of our community. Nobody should be blocked from accessing public services, taxed to go to work or have their local biodiversity impacted for a bit of money. We have a caring, kind and welcoming community, lets keep it that way by having #NoBarriersToBlanch
Go Raibh Míle Maith Agat,
