Demolition on the former Crumlin Shopping Centre has commenced
The site is being redeveloped by Dunnes Stores
Images of the projected redevelopment for the Crumlin Shopping Centre
Sarah BurkeThu 27 Feb 2025 at 15:49Locals in Crumlin have been saying farewell to the old shopping centre as the building is demolished to make way for a redevelopment of the space by Dunnes Stores
Videos and images have circulated online showing the demolition of the site
Crumlin Shopping Centre first opened its doors in 1974
with legendary broadcaster Gay Byrne releasing balloons at the launch of the 91-acre site on Crumlin Road
the centre was home to around 40 retail units
Dunnes Stores was the only retailer remaining and it now plans to redevelop Crumlin Shopping Centre into an anchor store
Planning permission for the redevelopment was granted in April last year
The demolition of the site has left locals reminiscing about the old shopping centre
with one person commenting: “What about Hector Greys
Another local described the demolition as “the end of an era”
saying it was “great to see the site going to be redeveloped after many years of neglect”
Local councillor Daithí Doolan added: “We all want to see this site redeveloped
It has been in decline for too long and had become a sorry sight
“It is essential the original concerns are honestly addressed and that future plans benefit the wider community
“I would strongly encourage the developers to fully engage with local residents and community groups to ensure people’s concerns are listened to and acted upon,” he added
Proposals for the redevelopment include space for a shopping centre featuring an off-licence
The plans also include 267 bicycle parking spaces
The upgraded centre will include a new anchor unit for Dunnes Stores
with 150-200 jobs created during the construction phase
the new centre will be “capable of meeting the evolving needs of existing tenants and responding to the modern demands of shoppers and retailers”
which includes demolishing the current rundown shopping centre
is projected to take between 18 to 24 months
A planning report by KPMG Future Analytics research consultancy highlighted that the updated proposal "will revitalise the area”
According to a retail impact assessment submitted with the proposal
the net increase in retail space is expected to generate an annual turnover of €62.9m by 2027
These documents also mention that the smaller retail units have been vacant for over a decade
The site has also attracted anti-social behaviour due to its dereliction
The shopping centre is served by bus routes 27
with additional bus services planned as part of Bus Connects
Planning documents say the proposed development will “revitalise an area that has suffered from constant and sustained dereliction since the post-Celtic Tiger years”
Dublin News‘We have issues in Dublin and we need funding to solve them,’ says councillor as he calls for tourism taxA Dublin city councillor has claimed recent remarks by a government minister shows how “out of touch” he is with the reality on the ground in the capital
It’s one of three actions on a to-do list that emerged from the People’s Transition Crumlin project
about two dozen people gathered in St Agnes’s parish hall in Crumlin
They were there for the launch of a report on the results of a project to map the area’s resources
and to consult with the people who live there about what the community needs most
But “people have more pressing needs on a day-to-day basis”
one of three organisations behind the effort – along with environmental group Bloomin’ Crumlin and the Dublin South City Partnership
“So when you’re coming at them talking about climate action
you have to solve their other problems first,” she told the audience sitting in rows of chairs in the hall
The project has identified three problems and three solutions to work on
One problem is that a lot of area residents don’t feel heard
the mapping and engagement phases of the project found
according to a 60-page printed version of the report
When asked what they’d like to see more of
85 percent of 193 respondents to an online survey said “decision-making at a community level”
So the plan is to start a new Crumlin Community Forum to better represent Crumlin
Another problem is the lack of community spaces
76 percent of respondents said they’d like more of those
So the plan is for the new community forum to push for the creation of a new multi-purpose community centre for Crumlin
The third issue the project identified was improving biodiversity and green spaces across Crumlin
“Bloomin’ Crumlin is currently working towards this,” the book says
“Engaging with the Community Forum on developing a greening strategy for the area would bring in more diverse groups across the community into the regeneration
Bloomin’ Crumlin coordinator Trevor Clowry told the audience at the meeting in the parish hall
There was a table with teas and coffees and biscuits
and some were cradling paper cups of warm drinks
“It’s very hard to communicate with all the people of Crumlin
“So the community forum is what we’re thinking is a good way to get opinions from everyone.”
Nearby areas have the Kilmainham Inchicore Network (KIN) and Dynamic Drimnagh
ideally with some funding to hire a full-time coordinator
“The game changer is getting adequate funding,” said O’Donoghue
This new forum would be designed to bring together a wide range of institutions and organisations and people from across Crumlin
Organise a first meeting of potential members early next year
said “I think this is a fantastic starting point
The group should include people from all over Crumlin
“We’re trying to get as many groups as possible as we can
to represent the whole community,” he said
Groups interested in joining the forum could contact Clowry or himself
It’s also hard to organise events in Crumlin
“We’re really struggling to host events with over 100 people,” he said
community-controlled centre where young people can hang out
said he used to be a youth worker at the F2 Centre
“We used to have kids as young as second class coming down from Crumlin on the bus alone,” he said
There should be something closer to home for them
If it was possible for Rialto to get the F2
it should be possible for Crumlin to get something similar
Agnes’ Community Centre for Music and the Arts (CCMA)
“Maybe we should link in with Fatima United
“there needs to be a designated space for children who aren’t into sport
a designated creative space where children can develop – the arts can be transformative”
With the community organised via the new forum
“I think the unified approach is key,” he said
it pushes it much stronger than without it.”

Gardaí in Crumlin after Friday night’s shooting incident
Gardai speak with locals at the scene of a shooting incident in Crumlin
Alan Sherry and Robin SchillerSun 23 Feb 2025 at 09:43A 39-year-old man was shot in the leg in a punishment-style attack in Dublin on Friday night
was targeted by a gunman at a home on Rutland Avenue in Crumlin shortly after 9.45pm
A Garda spokesperson said: “Gardaí and emergency services responded to a report of a firearm discharge at a residence on Rutland Avenue
but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to St James’s Hospital
The scene has been preserved for forensic examination and investigations are ongoing.”
It is understood the man was shot in the leg in a punishment-style attack and will survive the incident but will remain in hospital over the weekend
Gardaí are investigating whether his attackers deliberately shot him in the leg in a punishment-style attack rather than intending to kill him
Early indication suggest the attack is not connected to any ongoing gangland feud
Gardaí are appealing to any person who may have information in relation to this incident to contact them
“Any road users who were in the Rutland Avenue and surrounding areas between 9:15pm and 10:15pm and who may have camera footage (including dash-cam footage) are asked to make this available to gardaí,” a spokesman said
“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Sundrive Road Garda Station on 01 666 6600
the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111
The incident comes days after a gunman opened fire on two men in a car in north Dublin
The man had been sitting in the vehicle in Ballymun around 10.30pm on Tuesday when they said they were chased by two other men in vehicle
They told gardaí one of the men opened fire on them as they reached a slip-road towards the M50
It is understood six shots were fired as the chase continued along the motorway and onto Clonshaugh roundabout before they sped along the N32 towards Malahide
The men managed to escape their attackers and ran into Malahide Garda Station
At least one bullet hit the vehicle but neither man was injured
That incident is not believed to be linked to the Crumlin shooting
There have been a number of shooting incidents so far in Ireland in 2025 but no gun murders so far
There were just two fatal shootings in Ireland last year
Gun dealer and former solider Paddy O’Mahony Sr (84) was shot dead in his home in Castlemaine
Former solider Thomas Carroll (67) of Brookway
was subsequently charged with murdering the father-of-five
Josh Itseli (20) was shot with an AR-15 assault rifle in Drimnagh
It is believed he was accidentally shot by an associate as they and others were on their way to target rivals in Drimnagh
Gardaí believe that Josh was one of four people in car which was rammed when they were on the way to carry out a pipe bomb attack
The three men in the vehicle with him were later arrested but were subsequently released while investigations continued and file was prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions
The number of gun killings in way down from the amount between the 2000s and 2010s
There were more than 200 people shot dead in the decade between 2005 and 2015 as multiple gangland feuds raged across the country
The killings increased during the Kinahan-Hutch feud which began in 2015 but have dipped significantly in recent years as gardaí have successfully thwarted numerous planned attacks and locked up key players

Proposed Development of a new library building
with landscaping of new public realm areas at 314 Crumlin Road
Dublin City Council wishes to give notice that it intends to initiate the process leading to an application under Part 8 of the Local Government Planning & Development Regulations 2001 (as amended) for the construction of a new public library and renovation of existing building to create a new public amenity on Crumlin Road.
The proposed new library site is located on Crumlin Road
within the site of a previous secondary school complex called Ard Scoil Eanna
The western area of the site is proposed as a DCC housing development and the eastern area of the site
Once completed the library will strengthen the existing network of Dublin City Libraries across the South Central Area
The development of an appropriate brief for the new library was undertaken through the preliminary design phase in parallel with a review of existing Dublin City Libraries and analysis of the local and immediate site context
The outcome of these studies informed the siting
layout and massing of the proposal to ensure the project delivered a sustainable community building
Dublin City Libraries first circulated the proposal for the new Library at 314-318 Crumlin Road in June 2023
City Architects and the design team have spent the last year liaising with the technical departments
providing additional detail where required to satisfy their concerns
The proposed development will comprise the following;
• A new single storey and partial two storey branch library building (841 sqm). • On ground floor the library will comprise a combined adult and children’s library space
an events room and other ancillary spaces. • On first floor the library will comprise a reading and meeting room and ancillary staff rooms. • The proposal includes a first floor glazed bridge link connecting the new library building to the existing Ardscoil Éanna House. • The change of use of Ardscoil Éanna House from school use to library use and ancillary café use
multifunction rooms providing assembly/reading/ recital/café uses. • Conservation repair works and alterations are proposed to Ardscoil Éanna House (100 sqm)
modifications to a number of ground floor openings and enlargement of a first floor gable window to accommodate a proposed bridge connection. • Internal alterations are proposed to return rooms to their original layout and to facilitate publically accessible toilets. • To the southern boundary the existing historic gate and historic section of wall are to be retained
repaired and modified. • It is proposed to remove the existing northern boundary wall and partially remove the southern boundary wall. • Landscaping works are proposed to the front and rear
to form an accessible public realm. • An on street accessible car space to Rafter’s Lane and on site cycle parking is proposed. • With associated conservation
in co-operation with the Area Office and DCC Architects held an information evening for local communities on March 13th 2024 to showcase plans and drawings and to explain the proposal and answer questions
The feedback received on the evening was very positive
City Architects started engagement and consultation with the DPO’s in June of this year
inviting them to engage in a briefing regarding the proposed development
They wrote to them again in August of this year
City Architects have responded to feedback from the DPO’s
working with them to develop a screen reader accessible summary of the project
I attach the following drawings to this report to illustrate the design proposal;
This report is for information and noting by the South Central Area Committee.

Debbie Akinbami began to adapt local dishes with Nigerian ingredients while she was in school
Debbie Akinbami got a taste for mashed potatoes at creche
“It was different but it was good,” she says
“That was how I started fusing Nigerian flavours and Irish cuisine flavours together.”
and to the mess Akinbami left in the kitchen
She just loved cooking and was an avid fan of cookery programmes on TV
standing in the small kitchen of her Afro-fusion takeaway
on the ground floor of the The Star Bingo Hall in Crumlin
“There is a lot of competition with spice bags,” says Akinbami
as she throws shredded chicken into the deep fryer
a hot spice bag infused with extra Nigerian spices
using plantain and yam as well as potatoes
Akinbami was working alone when she first launched Aduni last summer
studied business at the National College of Ireland and was also working as a chef when the Covid-19 lockdowns hit
she kept cooking and posting about the food
there is a real shortage of African food.”
she had a small catering business in demand for events
she signed to take on the takeaway premises at The Star Bingo Hall in Crumlin
Akinbami sat down to consider her signature takeaway dish
“How can I infuse African flavours into a spice bag?” she says
The plantain makes a softer chip that is slightly sweet
The yam makes a chip that is crunchy and harder than the potato
“The combination of everything blends really well together.”
“You wouldn’t believe I used to make this in secondary school,” says Akinbami
as she turns a chunky wrap on a frying pan
She calls this wrap “the jurrito” – a burrito made with jollof rice
she grabbed whatever she could find at home to make a burrito
Stuffed in with the jollof rice is chicken
The Sunday buffet menu at Aduni includes sausage rolls
squidgy and moist like the pastry of a high-quality doughnut and coated in icing sugar
“You can have them plain or spicy and we do ours with Kinder sauce and Biscoff and white chocolate,” she says
Puff puff can be a savoury starter as well
Akinbami plans to launch Aduni on the Just Eat platform in the coming weeks and she seems hopeful and a little nervous

The aftermath of a fire at Ardscoil Éanna on the Crumlin Road in 2006
An illustration of how the proposed new library would look
Sarah BurkeWed 11 Dec 2024 at 12:43Plans have been submitted to Dublin City Council to construct a new library building at the site of a former historic house and school on the Crumlin Road
Ardscoil Éanna was a co-educational secondary school on the Crumlin Road
who had been interned for his role in the Easter Rising in 1916
the school had a primary school in the form of prefabs
The secondary school closed its doors in 2016 and has lain idle since
The site is a protected structure and some key aspects of the proposal include creating a new library which will combine a new single storey and partial two-storey building
On the ground floor it will combine an adult and children’s library space
On the first floor it is proposed there will be a reading room
meeting room and staff rooms alongside a glazed bridge linking it to the original historic house
The historic building will be converted from the original school building to a library
There are also proposals for conservation work which will include repairing and altering parts of the house
adjusting the windows and restoring the original room layout
Other changes proposed for the site involve retaining and repairing the historic gates and the stone wall along the southern boundary of the site with part of the modern wall being removed
There will also be new vehicular access to the library from Crumlin Road and a new pedestrian entrance from Rafter’s Lane
Landscaping work proposed includes creating accessible public spaces
seating areas and bicycle parking with 18 spaces
and there is an opportunity for submissions until January 15
Birchall’s on Bangor Drive in Crumlin is a lovely spot
Despite the presence of security guards on our city buses now and the reassurance from the Minister for Justice that the city is safe
Pub Spy and the team still prefer to use the pub-mobile to get to our destinations
As we made the 20 minute journey across the city
through Rialto and past the world’s most expensive and unfinished hospital
within a few minutes we were parked outside the front door of Birchall’s pub on Bangor Drive
Nothing like a few pints of stout to help lighten the mood
the Old Commando said as we approached the entrance
“There’s just something about driving by that children’s hospital that vexes me,” he muttered
“Zero accountability as usual from our politicians and they all act with such impunity
It’s fair easy to spend someone else’s money,” the Old Commando ranted
isn’t the important thing going forward that lessons were learned,” the Young Commando joked
referring to the much rolled-out phrase by the current Government every time they’re caught doing something wrong
The Old Commando was immediately impressed with Birchall’s pub
but more impressive for him was the sign at the front door saying Over 23s and No Children Please
He has long been a critic of children being anywhere near a pub
so this publican certainly has his backing
We were welcomed by an experienced blonde barmaid as soon as we landed at the counter and she took our order without delay while engaging briefly with our Commandos before returning to her conversation with two locals at the far end of the counter
Smithwicks cost €6.20 and the pints of Carlsberg were €6.50
while our designated driver had a soft drink which cost €3.40
There was a good atmosphere in the bar and it was reasonably busy too
with an all male clientele who were well capable of knocking back the drinks
With four TVs in the bar the punters were kept busy backing horses and watching football
but the overall consensus from the locals was they couldn’t wait until the international break was over
but wouldn’t international football put you to sleep?” one local complained
The timber flooring beside the counter looked as good as new and the carpeted section was clean too
The orange velvet swivel barstools were in good condition
There’s a golf society at Birchall’s pub with their last outing for 2024 scheduled for next weekend
There’ll surely be a few pints consumed that evening
The lounge area also has two large screen TVs and the clientele in this section was more mixed with a younger age profile
There are signs advertising 10.5” pizzas for just €9 but we didn’t notice any or smell any other food for that matter during our stay
Perhaps the kitchen had closed by the time we called
there are a few parking spots outside the pub reserved for customers and our designated driver is always appreciative of that
We carried out an inspection of the toilets during our visit and were happy to report they were clean with two cubicles
a stainless steel urinal and a powerful hand dryer
We had an enjoyable first time visit to Birchall’s and marked it down for a return visit
Kelly’s pub was enjoying a roaring trade when Pub Spy and the team stopped by recently for a quick pint
There was hardly an empty seat in the bar and the atmosphere was very lively
They were really enjoying themselves during our stay
A barman with grey hair was working in the bar
with a younger barmaid covering the lounge and the Old Commando struck up an instant rapport with the experienced pint puller
There are eight TVs in the bar with horse racing and football being shown and lads were dipping in and out to the bookmakers next door
The green leather bench seating was in decent shape and there are pints of Fosters and Guinness Zero available on draught
All eight urinals and both cubicles were clean
We enjoyed our first visit to Kelly’s for almost 11 years
Betty Jeffers display some of the knitwear that will go to the Crumlin Hospital Baby Unit
Carnew’s active community of knitters has come together once again this year to craft an impressive collection of colourful baby clothes and blankets for families attending the Crumlin Hospital's premature baby unit
Coordinated by Mary Blake of Carnew Community Care’s ‘Home First’ project
a team of local knitters have been working diligently all year round to create hundreds of white
from tiny hats and booties to soft cardigans and blankets
Produced by avid home knitters and members of the centre’s knitting group
some of whom were behind the centre’s spectacular 11ft by 12ft wool map of Ireland
the massive haul of knitwear will now find its way into the hands of worried and stressed parents
bringing a little relief as they tend the bedside of their little one
and we’ve been doing this for several years
usually presenting the knitwear about twice a year,” Mary explained
“The clothes are produced by the knitters who come into the centre
and then there’s a lot of people outside the centre who come in now and again and/or bring in items they have knitted at home
“Even though the group has taken on a big project like the wool map
they have still found time to create hundreds of pieces for the children
and then they also make bigger hats for older children that have cancer
“It’s a huge haul of clothing and the knitters take a great deal of pride in creating it
knowing that it’s going to a worthy cause and reaching families who are going through a very testing and stressful time.”
Several of the knitters gathered at the centre recently to present the clothing to Caroline Bernie
who was representing the Crumlin baby unit
expressing her delight at the quality and quantity of the donated items
“Parents appreciate the practical gift and are also touched by the thoughtfulness behind it
which can greatly lift their spirits during what is often a very distressing time,” she said
Delighted to facilitate the heartwarming initiative
Carnew Community Care manager Anne Kavanagh expressed her heartfelt thanks to the dedicated knitters for their “time and love in handcrafting these garments”
“There’s a huge network of knitters in Carnew and the surrounding areas who coordinate to produce this clothing
between people who frequent the centre and those knitting at home,” Anne said
“They’ve been doing this for years now and Crumlin Hospital loves them
Caroline was here to collect the pieces on behalf of her sister
who is a nurse at Crumlin Hospital and is always telling us how much the parents appreciate these little gifts for their infants
who also make blankets for the elderly in Rathdrum
are a great bunch and they have all really bought into this initiative over the years

To figure out how much carbon the trees sequester
Researchers know there are 9,099 trees in Crumlin
a senior research scientist at UCD School of Geography
But there are key finer details about trees in the neighbourhood that he
about 80 people had gathered at Clogher Road Community College to talk about mapping them
Researchers at UCD working on the INTERVAL project are looking into uneven tree distribution across the city
By making a more detailed tree inventory than currently exists
they hope to identify specific areas where improvements can be made
a UCD researcher and team member of the project
Engaging with communities will help them to understand how many trees they have around them
And studies show that the distribution of trees in Dublin is quite uneven
Ballsbridge and Rathmines boast high tree-density
The Dublin Tree map – put together by UCD and the council – shows the density of trees in the very centre of the city is “very low”
extremely interested in their environment and they do a lot for their community”
They also want to be involved in making decisions around what happens in their neighbourhood
Hugh Cardiff – who has lived in Crumlin for 20 years and volunteered planting trees with Bloomin’ Crumlin for about two years – said that trees add so much to the area
“Crumlin needs more trees and greenery and biodiversity.”
McDonald was one of the many residents interviewed earlier in the project
so researchers could understand their views on urban tree management and information dissemination
were essential for understanding the community’s diverse needs and preferences
the researchers are mostly teaming up with Bloomin’ Crumlin for the project
But they’ve also reached out to sports clubs
The project aims to create a map of Crumlin
with spots for all the trees – public and private – which people can click on to learn about their environmental benefits
“But with all the trees and all the information
you will be able to filter by categories.” And it should help the community spot where more green infrastructure is needed too
Some learn more about the varieties of trees
others learn to master the PlantNet app that helps to identify plants with pictures
The 2017 Dublin Tree Canopy Study pointed out low tree cover areas between the canals in the city centre
and an area with low tree cover running from the Grand Canal to the city’s southwest border
The council’s development plan sets a goal of increasing tree canopy cover to a minimum of 10 percent in all areas
“The City Tree Strategy is under review and will be re-published early 2025,” a council spokesperson said last week
The last tree strategy ran from 2016 to 2020. “The policies and objectives are still relevant,” the spokesperson said.
“Since 2017, the council has been rolling out greening plans in neighbourhoods within the canals to tackle the shortfall in tree canopy cover, said the spokesperson.
Those plans have covered the Liberties, the north-east inner city, and Stoneybatter, said the spokesperson. “Greening interventions are now extending to other parts of the city.”
Councils do hold basic metrics for trees, says UCD researcher and a physical geographer Gerald Mills. They know locations to some extent, health, size, he said.
But that doesn’t fully capture the environmental benefits from the trees, Mills said. The project aims to fill in some of that detail, he says.
Data that can be used to calculate how much carbon the trees sequester, the oxygen they release, the stormwater they can soak up – and how they filter pollutants from the air, and moderate hot weather.
The detailed data collected through the Crumlin pilot will be searchable for all online in an easy way, says Sannigrahi.
Their project receives funding from Science Foundation Ireland, says Jeremy Auerbach, an assistant professor at UCD and the team member of the project.
The next step is for Clowry, of Bloomin’ Crumlin, to assign community leaders to different areas, with each team responsible for surveying about 1,000 trees, said Robinson, of UCD.
UCD will collect the data, start to identify gaps in “green infrastructure”, and come back and tell the community what they found, says Robinson.
“We won’t define the solutions,” he said. They’ll bring in experts to help the community choose solutions that they want to push, he says.
As the orientation wound up at Eamonn Ceannt Park on 13 July, some team members huddled for a group photo. “Trees!” they called out

An Post is liaising with gardaí following the alleged theft of a significant volume of parcels and letters along the Dublin 12 area mailing route
Gardaí have confirmed that they are investigating allegations that letters and parcels had possibly been taken primarily in Dublin 12 area with many being reported as missing for as long as eight weeks
[ Rerouting backlog of Ireland-bound parcels ‘working well’ following Holyhead Port closureOpens in new window ]
In a statement, Garda headquarters said their officers are “investigating a report of alleged theft of a volume of material from a national service provider”.
The statement added: “An Garda Síochána is liaising with the affected service provider on the matter.”
A spokesperson for An Post explained that following an investigation by the postal service in conjunction with An Garda Síochana, “a number of undelivered letters and small packages for addresses on one postal route in Crumlin have been located.”
An Post said they “sincerely apologise” to the affected customers” for the “upset and inconvenience,” and are working to have this mail delivered as quickly as possible.
“While the investigation is continuing, we cannot provide any further information on this matter.”
A special phone line has also been provided for the impacted customers.

There’s a small table with two chairs set up in the parking spot in front of DeSa
bundled out the glass front door of DeSa Asian Products in Crumlin
Derek and Sarah Connolly were seeing them out
The narrow shop is lined with shelves and stuffed with products from all over Indonesia
but has called Crumlin home since the 1980s
They keep the shop open 10am to 8pm seven days a week
sending parcels by courier to people all over Ireland craving Indonesian food
but he says he works at DeSa before and after it each day
“Sarah arrived here for a three-month visit
so there wasn’t any way to travel,” he says
and couldn’t sit still wondering and waiting when she might get back to it
The couple saw an opening where they could import products and sell them to the Indonesian community
There were 286 people born in Indonesia living in Ireland at the 2011 census
and that had risen to 560 by the 2022 census
The Connollys set up DeSa officially in May 2021
but they never notice DeSa is made from his name and my name,” Sarah says
Sarah had residency in Ireland and had a business and had a life in Crumlin
pointing up through the white foam panels of the shop’s dropped ceiling
Why did they decide to add a real-world shop to their online one
“Because the house already full,” Sarah says
standing among the shelves stocked with bags and boxes
“Selling from the house wasn’t really practical,” Derek says
We need to introduce the product to local people around
Other shops in Dublin sell various Asian foods
many of which can’t be found in big stores like Asia Market
She points to a shelf stuffed with bags of snacks imported from Indonesia
Inside the foil-lined orange bag are shards that could be the crispy bits from a bag of chips
The bag says they are made from wheat and tapioca flours– and bathed in a mix of fiery chilli and fish sauce flavouring
dipped in sweet strawberry-flavoured coating
A couple of his favourites from her repertoire of Indonesian dishes are nasi goreng
The couple walk towards the front of the shop and stop at a shelf stuffed with packets containing spice mixtures to make these dishes
There are packets that say “nasi goreng” (fried rice)
“nasi koning” (rice with coconut and turmeric)
and “rendang” (sauce for meat stewed in coconut milk and spices)
But there are more than 17,000 islands that make up the country
scattered across the seas south of Malaysia and north of Australia
Indonesia stretches for 3,750km east of Jakarta
And north-west from Jakarta for about 1,800km to the tip of the island of Sumatra
The spice mixes reflect some of the diversity of styles of cooking
What about this box, which says “Kentucky Hot”
and has a picture of fried chicken on the front
There’s a small table with two chairs set up in the parking spot in front of the shop
“I wish.” She doesn’t think there’s any Indonesian restaurants at the moment in Ireland
There are places that sell Malaysian food, like Kopitiam, on Capel Street
There’s a lot of overlap between Malaysian food and Indonesian food
only difference is more choice for Indonesian,” she says
But most Asian food sold in Ireland is toned down to suit local tastes
the food they serve is “adjusted to the Irish taste”
we will go to the take-away around the corner
and they actually do a special meal for Sarah,” he says
“Because I say I want the original taste,” Sarah says
It’s that kind of Indonesian restaurant Sarah wants to open
Gardai at the scene of the shooting on Friday night

THIS is the dramatic moment an Irish shopping centre was knocked down this week - with locals saying "it's the end of an era"
Videos circulating online show the demolition of Crumlin Shopping Centre in Dublin
The shopping centre first opened in 1974, with the legendary Gay Byrne releasing balloons at the launch of the 91-acre site on Crumlin Road
Back then, the popular shopping centre had around 40 retail units
However, in recent years Dunnes Stores was the only retailer left standing - and now it plans to redevelop Crumlin Shopping Centre into its main store
a cafe and a room for online grocery pick-up
The design also includes 267 bicycle parking spaces, 20 motorcycle spaces, 80 electric vehicle charging spots
click-and-collect areas and wheelchair-accessible spaces
What's more, the revamped centre will feature a new Dunnes Stores anchor unit, a food market and even a medical centre
And it is expected to create 150-200 jobs during construction
the updated centre will “meet the evolving needs of existing tenants and respond to modern demands from shoppers and retailers.”
including the demolition of the current rundown centre
A report by KPMG Future Analytics research consultancy said the proposal “will revitalise the area" and it could generate an annual turnover of €62.9m by 2027
The documents also note that many of the smaller retail units have been vacant for over ten years
and the site had since been plagued by anti-social behaviour
People have taken to the comment section to share their thoughts on the demolition
One person wrote: "Childhood memories gone - good and bad."
Another said: "The best shopping centre growing up in the 80s and 90s
This comes after the fashion retailer Quiz announced its closure of Irish stores – after it fell into insolvency
Quiz Clothing has shut almost two dozen shops, with closures affecting locations in Ireland
Some 191 employees have been made redundant following the immediate store closures
Irish closures include shops at The Square Tallaght, Dublin
Erneside shopping centre in Enniskillen and Richmond shopping centre in Derry
said: "The board took the difficult decision to appoint administrators to Zandra Retail Limited in light of the continuing challenging trading conditions impacting the group's performance
"We are deeply sorry to those affected by the store closures
this decision will put the business on a more sustainable footing for the future and protect several hundred jobs as a result."

Heimir Hallgrímsson and John O'Shea visit children at CHI in Crumlin Hospital
Republic of Ireland head coach Heimir Hallgrímsson visited children in Crumlin Hospital this week to deliver Christmas gifts alongside assistant head coach John O’Shea
The pair visited five wards at Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) at Crumlin and met young patients and their families
with each receiving an Irish jersey and tickets to watch Ireland play Bulgaria at the UEFA Nations League play-off next March at the Aviva Stadium
said it was “a real privilege” to meet the children and their families at the hospital
with Mr O’Shea paying tribute to the staff for their “incredible work” at a “difficult time of year” for families
“It is important to remember that children and families can spend time in hospital over the Christmas period so to go to CHI at Crumlin and meet them was a real privilege,” said Mr Halgrimsson
their passion for the team always comes through and it was no different when we visited the hospital
I hope they all get better and are able to enjoy Christmas at home this year."
Mr O’Shea added: "It was great to go to CHI at Crumlin this week and meet the children and families there
The staff do absolutely incredible work at the hospital and Christmas is a difficult time of year for the families there so even if we're able to raise a couple of smiles
"We look forward to seeing some of them again at the Aviva Stadium as guests for the Bulgaria match in March."
the director of operations of CHI at Crumlin
said staff and patients were “delighted” to welcome the coaching duo this week in the lead up to Christmas
adding that visits like this one help to “brighten up an otherwise tough time for patients”
"We've made sure that our biggest football fans staying with us had a chance to say hello to Heimir and John and great that they've all received an invite to the match in March
Visits like this really brighten up an otherwise tough time for patients in hospital and bring such joy to children

CRUMLIN United fell to 2-1 loss to Liffey Wanderers in the second round of the FAI Intermediate Cup at Pearse Park on Friday night
Despite opening the scoring through midfielder Sam O’Donoghue
a goal in each half including a 89th minute winner from Sean Doran sealed Liffey’s safe passage to the third round
Both sides compete in Leinster Senior League Division 1 Sunday
sitting sixth while Liffey sit six places below them and eight points adrift
Crumlin were certainly favourites coming into the game and started in that manner as midfielder O’Donoghue scored his first goal in senior football to give his side the lead
the hosts failed to press on their advantage and Liffey restored parity on 27 minutes as Callum Goad found the net from a corner
in circumstances Crumlin will certainly not be pleased with
A tight first half with few chances for either side ended level
The Crumlin United teamPhotos by Anthony O’Brien
The restart saw the hosts up the tempo and take control of the game
dominating possession without creating a whole lot with it as they lacked some creativity and killer instinct in the final third
Wanderers held firm against the backdrop of heavy Crumlin pressure and found their winner with a minute of normal time remaining
following a goal mouth scramble from a free kick which Jack Funge took full advantage of at the back post
The hosts will be disappointed with the concession of two soft set piece goals and they will look to bounce back against Collinstown next Tuesday in their final fixture before the Christmas break
CLONDALKIN Rugby Club senior men’s team had plenty to shout about when they claimed the Leinster League Division Two A title. It’s the first time ... Read More
