I fully support the decision, of the elected members of South Dublin County Council, to retain St Edmundsbury as a High Amenity Zone (HA-LV) . It is a sanctuary for the local community to unwind and observe nature uninterrupted. It is a place where biodiversity and red-listed species are allowed to flourish. And it contributes to the greater harmony of the Liffey Valley landscape. It is crucial to the environment and the mental wellbeing of the Lucan residents. A walk on any evening transports you from the mundane, dense housing and noisy traffic, rekindling the soul.
