The details for the proposed development of a Primary Care Centre at Gulistan Recycling facility are available online at the DCC planning website under ref WEB 2816/25. Observations must be made by 4th September!
Dublin City Council has installed wildlife sculptures made from the trunks of the felled trees on Leinster Road. While we would still prefer to have kept the trees, this is a welcome initiative. The Rathmines Initiative will engage with DCC on the promised replacement trees.
The Rathmines Initiative believes that our community is poorly served by DCC compared to other areas despite the huge income it generates for the Council from commercial rates. We have requested information on the amount of income generated versus budget allocated to the area.
An Post have given the City Council first refusal to buy Rathmines Post Office but it declined the offer! Local Councillors have appealed to the Council to reconsider. Read more here on our website: therathminesinitiative.com/2025/07/23/cou…

Please support the extension of Swan Leisure Centre. Demand has outstripped capacity. It is proposed to extend by acquiring the neighbouring Hermann White site via CPO. Please ask your local councillor for their support of this proposal in advance of the vote on 12th May!

Very good event at the Rathmines Townhall today informing owners of older homes on how to enhance energy efficiency without damaging heritage features
The Rathmines Initiative are supporting Senator McDowell’s initiative concerning the renovation of the Concert Hall at Rathmines Townhall. This venue would serve a wide catchment area well served by public transport and bring back to life a notable building of historic value.
Tree surgeons working on taking out trees on Leinster Road. Man in charge tells us they are all to go, down to the main road. Unbelievable civic vandalism. How can this be stopped?
The earlier opening time is much appreciated but I wonder why they are not open longer / for the duration of the opening hours of the bring centre. Not everyone drives to the bring centre.
