Yesterday.

Members of the Dublin Sanctuary Runners (including the ‘sheet‘s Olga Cronin, above second left, who “didn’t run”) celebrate taking part in the Sportsworld Running Club’s five-mile road race in Terenure, Dublin 6, while brothers Franklin and David finished first and third place in the Under-12 800m race (second pic).

Every Saturday morning, Sanctuary Runners – comprised of Irish people and people who live in Direct Provision – run or walk together at their local 5km Park Run.

Established in Cork in February 2018 by feature writer and broadcaster Graham Clifford and photographer Clare Keogh, groups now also meet in Dublin, Limerick, Kerry, Waterford, Wicklow and Galway.

Anyone who wishes to get involved can email info@sanctuaryrunners.ie.

You may have featured them before (we have!) but it’s hard to beat the Christmas window display from Terenure Office Supplies – featuring moving trains and flying reindeer.

I think their efforts merit switching your stationery account from that multinational conglomerate you order from. Support a local family run business instead!

Fight

A campaign group is trying to establish an Educate Together primary school in Terenure, Dublin 6.

The Terenure Educate Together Primary School Start-Up Group was set up by local parents who couldn’t find places for their children in local religious-run schools because their children were not baptised.

At the weekend the Sunday Times published a report about the group’s founder Nikki Murphy.

Claire Scott reported:

“Nikki Murphy from Terenure has applied to 13 schools for [her four-year-old son] Reuben, but was turned down by nine because he is not a Catholic or a member of any other religious group. Another four schools, with a multi-denominational ethos, said that they were already oversubscribed.”

In 2011, after carrying out a survey, the Department of Education recommended that such a school should open in the area because of the demand.

However the final decision has yet to be made and will rest with the Department of Education.

As part of its campaign, the Terenure Educate Together Primary School Start-Up Group will be offering those interested to  register their interest  in such a school at a family fun day in Bushy Park on Saturday, August 15, from 1pm to 4pm.

There will be TWO extra large bouncy castles.

Fair play in fairness.
