Public Transport Issues in Lucan & Adamstown: January 2026 Update
[08 Jan 2026] – I want to provide you all with an update on the ongoing public transport issues in the greater Lucan and Adamstown area, and what steps are being taken to address them. South Dublin County Council (SDCC) initially informed Councillors this week that we would have an opportunity to submit user feedback…
My name is Councillor Helen Farrell, an Independent Local Councillor sitting on South Dublin County Council (SDCC). My role is to bring the voice of Lucan people to the table.
Having lived most of my life in Lucan I believe I have worked to improve life for its residents and visitors with other Lucan residents. 10 years ago, I set up the public campaign @Pool4Lucan with Sandra Whelan, and founded the local history group Society for Old Lucan (SOL) with Elaine Hurley in 2017. It’s been a privilege to meet Lucan people and work with them to achieve positive things for our area. By being an Independent Local Councillor, I can continue this work for constituents.
Areas that I’m particularly interested in include:
- Heritage and Ecology (including Archaeology and Local History)
- Access to Education (including lifelong learning)
- Planning & Development
- Quality of Life for all (that includes making sure people with disabilities are included from the start)
- The Arts
- Gaeilge (Tá beagán Gaeilge agam, agus tá grá agam dí, ach nílim líofa)
