No It's not a wind up. Page 3 of the Irish Times yesterday had an article saying dep't of environment had pledged a million and a half to help local councils develop skateboarding and BMX trials(???) facilities. I contacted the the government press office to confirm if this was for all of Ireland or just the Dublin region as the article implies but alas it is for the whole country. Should be more like 10.5 million in that case but it's still damn good news.
Anyone with any submissions for design ideas for the Lucan or Bushy park projects send them to me at irishskateparkforum@yahoo.co.uk and I'll forward them on to the relevant councillors at our next meeting.
