over his shirt and trousers and a faint trace of dark paint on his right cheek He shifts his gaze from Norman to Gina as if waiting for them to tell him it’s a gag “I’ve never seen this man stuck for words,” says Norman He’s been a regular at Norman’s shop for over 20 years  travelling from Clondalkin to buy painting supplies and other bits who let his customers curate and redefine his hardware shop by stocking whatever they stumbled in and asked for readying to lose himself in the long docket of fun things to do –  which includes plenty of travelling –  drawn up by his wife I want to get out and do things,” says Norman He’s opened his shop on Orwell Park Glen six days a week for nearly half a century But for the community in Templeogue and his customers all over Dublin “I’d never gotten so much hugs and cuddles in my life,” says Norman “We always came to Norman,” said Bernie Dunne right after telling him to drop flowers at her house later Norman and his wife opened the shop in 1975 with £5,000 borrowed from the bank but a banker he knew at AIB decided to give him more a slim young woman with shoulder-length blonde hair and a purple blouse over a turtleneck shirt she stands

drive through the window We had no shutters or anything,” said Norman A sluggish old Philips monitor displays the feed from CCTV in Norman’s shop showing the store’s entrance from behind a green veil When Norman’s shop grew busier and their kids grew up a little his wife left the business to work elsewhere “We had enough of working together,” says Norman was between jobs and decided to help her dad “I came here for a short run,” said Gina as she bustled around Gina and her dad were always on their feet People stood in massive queues outside their shop “And the Gardaí helped us set up a queuing system.” Guards would tell them about older people in the neighbourhood That local retail businesses did well in suburban areas in the early pandemic is outlined in an October 2022 report on retail co-written by KPMG and commissioned by the Department of Enterprise and Employment The paper also recognises the importance of this kind of business The government should formulate a strategy “to ensure the longevity of traditional family-owned retail businesses” Gina says she doesn’t want to take over Norman’s shop though First and foremost because it won’t be the same without her dad But she also wants to give him a fair shot at retirement Dad is the type of person who would never really go,” says Gina as Norman watches her with a broad smile “I think the best thing is that we go together and enjoy our new lives,” she says In a video of her dad that Gina posted on the shop’s Facebook page Norman says they’re hoping that whoever takes over their shop “ensures that there is a hardware presence in Templeogue” Norman’s is at the end of a block of shops on Orwell Park Glen At the bottom of an old sign for a GP surgery MORE THAN JUST A HARDWARE STORE” and a red arrow points

and tiny dinosaurs that Norman sells for €2 so that kids can afford them A little girl picked up a green stretchy lizard and pulled its claws They sell all kinds of greeting cards for €1 They have had some weird requests over the years People come in and stumble over their words “I’m sure you don’t have this …,” said Gina “And we always say there are no silly questions.” A guy once asked Norman if he sold bullets it was when someone asked for vibrator batteries Anne Loughman cries when talking about Norman’s closing She and her family have been customers for 47 years Her husband used to be a teacher in a north inner-city primary school that served disadvantaged kids He bought all kinds of things for the school from Norman Now their little grandson Aidan loves visiting Norman’s though he won’t get to grow up with the shop “It’s like a treasure trove for the children,” says Loughman they’ve been telling Norman to take it easy but now that he’s listened “I can’t begin to tell you how amazing this place is,” she said On the Thursday before the leaving cert results came out a woman came looking for balloons to celebrate with her kids She bought a few colourful balloons that together

Templeogue Synge Street advanced to the final of the Go-Ahead Ireland Dublin Senior 2 Football Championship when accounting for Naomh Barróg by ten points at Parnell Park on Saturday afternoon they secured their place in Senior 1 for 2025 and while their final margin of victory was a flattering one there’s no question they deserved the victory given their greater attacking variety over the hour Having played with the breeze in the first-half Templeogue Synge Street enjoyed a 0-9 to 0-4 lead by the turnaround with Niall Scully accounting for five of those scores Their margin was reduced to two points at one stage upon the restart but goals in added time from Killian O’Gara and Bruce Waldron ensured their comprehensive victory by the final whistle After his injury sustained in their quarter-final win two weeks previously Synge Street were boosted by the presence of Lorcan O’Dell in their starting line-up and he duly opened the scoring in the 3rd minute off his left foot a miss soon after from a similar position hinted at O’Dell’s discomfort as Naomh Barróg restored parity two minutes later through a well-worked score from dual player Paddy Doyle With chances at a premium and neither side establishing control the tightness of the exchanges continued with O’Gara denied a goal in the 10th minute following a superb block from Barróg centre-back Ciaran Gallagher An incisive run from Liam Durran saw Barróg take the lead three minutes later but their opponents struck for three points inside two minutes through Niall Scully (free) substitute Fintan Dignam and Scott McConnell to lead by two points by the end of the first quarter Scully and Paul Tolan exchanged frees as the contest evolved and Dignam continued to impress as he popped over his second score in the 24th minute While Paul Tolan converted another free two minutes later Templeogue finished the half on the front foot as Scully added three points approaching the break to leave his team five points clear by half-time The second-half failed to ignite initially with O’Gara denied once again thanks to a smart stop at his near post from Tom McGuirk with Max Fitzgerald calmly slotting over the resultant ‘45’ the Synge Street goalkeeper wasn’t as comfortable on his kick-outs with his options limited and Barróg took advantage as Tolan clipped over three points in quick succession to bring his side to within two points by the 41st minute Synge Street managed to weather that storm as Fitzgerald landed another excellent placed ball from distance and O’Gara’s facile score brought their buffer back to four points by the start of the final quarter it was Tolan that kept his side in the hunt with a further brace but with Mick Tolan black carded for the remainder of the contest their challenge unravelled in the closing stages A foul on Luke O’Brien in the 60th minute saw O’Gara send the resultant penalty over the crossbar but he made no mistake two minutes later after the Dublin attacker had been impeded close to goal O’Gara turned provider in the 63rd minute to release Waldon through for an emphatic finish high past McGuirk allowing their side to ease their way into the decider

Made by Together Digital goes for a lay-up from Callum McGrail and Jake Mullins A much-improved second half from Irish Guide Dogs Ballincollig was good enough to secure maximum points over basement side Templeogue in the Men’s Super League at the MTU on Saturday In a game where the home side seldom looked in trouble only at the start of the third quarter did we witness more urgency in their overall play The Dublin side had two crack Americans in Tavias Fagan and Immanuel Allen here Jacobley Owens and Samuel Henderson replaced them It was confirmed by Templeogue that Allen has returned to the USA but Fagan missed the game due to a leg injury The home side got off to the perfect start with a Joshua Tomaic basket and bonus before Jake Mullins responded with a neat shot outside the arc Quashawn Lane has shown some lovely touches in recent games and he followed up with consecutive baskets There was little doubt Ballincollig looked head and shoulders over their Dublin opponents in the opening exchanges but credit to the visitors they continued to stay within striking distance Jake Wolfe has been sensational all season for Ballincollig but he had a frustrating start in the opening four minutes and was taken out for a break before resuming a minute later The sides were level at 15 points each in the sixth minute before Wolfe edged the home side ahead with a superb move to the hoop shoots from Jacolbey Owens and Callum McGrail Picture: Jim Coughlan.The closing minutes were scrappy but Ballincollig finished with a three-pointer from Sean McManus that gave them a 27-19 lead entering the second quarter A three-pointer from Henderson saw an immediate response from the home side with a Lane bucket Credit to Callum McGrail the Templeogue post player was working extremely hard as his side were hanging on to stay in the game The standard of basketball in the opening four minutes was dreadful from both sides with Ballincollig still holding a nine-point midway through the quarter The rotations continued as the game was the equivalent of a scrimmage but on the plus side for Ballincollig they got an opportunity to give some quality court time to fringe players Despite looking the dominant team Ballincollig had only a seven-point lead at the break 42-35 after a pretty poor 20 minutes of basketball Looking at the half-time stats Templeogue shot 10/26 (38%) inside the arc and 3/10 (30%) outside the arc The home side fared a little better inside the arc with 15/27 but they didn’t fare so well outside the arc 1/11 (9%) Ciaran O’Sullivan did produce a long three-pointer on the restart and Lane followed up with a neat jumper and suddenly the lead was extended to 16 Adrian O’Sullivan nailed a floater as the Templeogue coach Mark Keenan immediately called a time-out to stem the tide Ballincollig's tempo dropped as their scoring in the next four minutes reduced considerably Thankfully for the home fans their team responded for the closing minutes and entering the final quarter they looked home and hosed when commanding a 15-point lead: 71-56 Picture: Jim Coughlan.Coming down the stretch Ballincollig stayed in control as players like Sean O’Flynn Brendan Dounala and Sean McManus showed their shooting abilities outside the arc Templeogue to be fair kept battling but they will do well to survive the drop more Cork Basketball articles Keep up-to-date with the top stories in Cork with our daily newsletter straight to your inbox Please click here for our privacy statement.

UCC Demons' Patrick Robinson scores despite the efforts of Templeogue's Jake Mullins A Houdini act from UCC Demons in the closing five minutes ensured they saw off Templeogue in a bizarre and exciting Men’s Super League clash at the GCU Arena on Saturday Demons trailed 89-80 with five minutes remaining but somehow responded to the wake-up call and outscored the Dubliners 18-2 to gain what could be a valuable win in their drive for the top spot Although Patrick Robinson led their scoring with 26 points it was the contributions of Irish players Blake Murphy Daryl Cuff and the Hannigan twins James and Scott that got Demons over the line Elijah Tillman only took 12 seconds to nail a fade-away jumper but Templeogue responded with a Samuel Henderson three The play from both sides was fast and furious but with Demons in a zone defence the Dublin side led 8-6 in the third minute Demons defence was atrocious that saw Templeogue punish them at will Trailing 18-14 in the sixth minute coach Danny O’Mahony called a time-out to steady the ship UCC Demons' David Lehane is challenged by Templeogue's Daniel Cassidy and Jacolbey Owens during their Men's Super League clash at the Parochial Hall Picture: David Keane.It must be said the scoring of Robinson was keeping Demons within striking distance but his defence was poor at times Scott Hannigan was a major plus for Demons off the bench but the Templeogue American duo Henderson and Jacolbey Owens were murdering Demons and deservedly commanded a 31-28 lead entering the second quarter On the restart Demons Daryl Cuff nailed a three-pointer but with the defence still underperforming Templeogue looked like staying the distance In a three-minute spell Templeogue basically ran Demons ragged and deservedly stretched their lead to 12 points by the 16th minute Another noticeable aspect was the absence of Kyle Hosford through illness as they looked leaderless and with their defence a major worry the basement side had put 51 points on them in 16 minutes It was hard to understand how Demons could play so poorly in the opening 20 minutes as Templeogue are fighting for survival Leading 54-44 with 48 seconds remaining to the interval Templeogue called a time-out but it was Demons who had the final say with a Robinson lay-up that saw the lead reduced to eight points 54-46 Templeogue made 15 of 17 attempts inside the arc giving them an 88% average and 100% from outside the arc making 7/7 UCC Demons' Elijah Tillman is challenged by Templeogue's Callum McGrail Picture: David Keane.Toby Christensen got Demons off to a good start in the second half but an unchallenged lay-up was the immediate Templeogue response It looked as if Demons had increased their intensity in defence but they still trailed by eight points 61-53 in the 24th minute The lead was down to the minimum when Blake Murphy scored a beautiful back door lay-up and Tillman tied the game with 2.53 remaining in this period Demons got their noses in front and with Robinson the go-to man it helped the home team command a two-point lead entering the fourth quarter 71-69 Yet Demons looked in trouble when Kyle Cunningham nailed a three with five minutes remaining as Templeogue surged into a nine-point lead The response coming down the stretch was heroic as a three-pointer each from Murphy and Cuff set the tone as the brave Templeogue fire display was extinguished at the death Limerick Celtics dug out a 102-84 victory over Drogheda Wolves in Ballymakenny College on Saturday night to take their record in Men’s Division One to 13-0 Templeogue started

proving their most prolific scorer with a 32-point haul while Abdul Wurie weighed in with a further 24 and Finn Hughes again dominated under the boards with a massive 18 rebounds They were much-needed contributions in the face of a Drogheda team that did their best to hang around Christian Simmons netting 24 points for the hosts while both Stephen Safo and Francisco Dias each served up 17 “We were happy to get out of Drogheda with an away win against a tough Wolves team” remarked Tony Hehir “We had big contributions at both ends of the court from all our players on the night with AJ leading all scorers” he said ND Audit Portlaoise Panthers barely hung on to their unbeaten record as the North Conference leaders edged an 90-89 overtime victory against Limerick Sport Eagles in UL Arena on Saturday afternoon The visitors battled back from 12 points down in the first quarter to lead by nine heading onto the fourth aided by Alexander Carlisle’s huge 38-point total Yet a combined seven points by James Phelan and Xabier Arriaga over the additional five minutes proved just enough to nudge Portlaoise over the line Eric Anderson finishing on 22 points for the visitors as they moved to 12 and 0 in the table Ulster University had to go to double overtime to eventually get the better of Titans 126-122 in Jordanstown Sports Village on Saturday evening Michael Hayes was the stand-out performer for Titans but even that remarkable contribution was not enough to see the Galway side prevail against an Ulster outfit Nathan Karren and Curtis Larousse tallied 74 points between them That loss for Titans afforded Scotts Lakers Killarney the opportunity to move three points clear of the Galway side in second place in the South Conference and they duly took it after winning out 77-73 on the road against Mater Private Malahide Darnell Snyers and Mikah Blackwell again delivered the heavy blows for the Kerry side as the two tallied 48 points and 18 rebounds Eoin Carroll also making his presence felt under the boards after mopping up nine loose balls Joels Dublin Lions ended a run of seven defeats after they surmounted the challenge of Killarney Cougars 88-76 in Presentation Gym While Evan Cook and Kevin Anyanwu bagged 45 points for the Clondalkin side Aidan Igiehon and Aran Lee provided the necessary cover as they won 17 defensive boards on their way to a total of 24 rebounds on a night that saw Joshua Strongman and Kani Glover put 44 on the scoreboard for Killarney Moy Tolka Rovers extended their winning run in all competitions to four games after they ran out 82-70 victors at home against Maigh Culinn Mike Wallace proved very efficient on the inside for the Dubliners of his 12 shots in and around the perimeter Templeogue denied iSecure Swords Thunder the chance to move to within six points of unbeaten Women’s Division One leaders McEvoy’s Cavan Eagles after they won out 60-36 in Saturday’s Dublin derby in the National Basketball Arena Genovea Johnson and Lauren Darcy put up 29 points for the hosts who also benefitted greatly from the presence of Hannah Murphy and Aoife Whelan under the boards the two soaking up 18 rebounds between them “It was pleasing to get a good start and that gave us good control over the game” said Mark Byrne “We know Swords have a lot of talent and fire power “We’ve a young team with a few new players this season we can keep developing and put a good run of performances together” he added Limerick Celtics moved into a share of second place in the table after they shackled Cleveland Rockets in the second and third quarters to secure a 93-62 victory in Newforge Sports Complex Yet again Stephanie McBride and Shelby Harmeyer accounted for the bulk of Limerick’s scores along with an even more impressive 37 rebounds Moy Tolka Rovers returned home from Coláiste Bríde celebrating an 97-89 success against Abbey Seals Dublin Lions Sofia Paska registered a new club scoring record of 41 points for Lions while Ciara Wheeler took 10 under the boards and produced nine assists but even all of that was not enough to see the Clondalkin outfit prevail against a Tolka side that had four players in double digits

northside rivals Tolka Rovers 60-50 in the semis at the weekend Both teams got a good start in the first quarter with Tolka edging it by one in a well-contested encounter The second quarter saw Templeogue find their shooting range with two threes by Grace Miley and Liliyah Waters to take a three-point advantage into the half The third quarter saw great defence from Templeogue along with great scores from Katie Behan Lauren Neville and Sophie Gallagher to take a commanding lead of 10 points into the fourth quarter and looking in a good position at this stage Templeogue saw out the game by 10 points and make it through to the final of the DLBB Cup in March Coached by Des Hopkins and managed by Laura Waters this team has now knocked out Meteors and now Tolka to reach the final

Neptune as they went down to Dublin outfit Templeogue in the Men’s Super League at the Neptune Stadium on Saturday No excuses Neptune after a reasonable start were dreadful in the second half and it was no surprise that Templeogue eventually wore them down and deservedly secured their first win of the season Neptune went into the game without their star Bosman player Jaksa Sola who picked up a toe injury in the build-up to this clash and the Dublin side began with a Callum McGrail slammer The home side rallied and started with a fabulous assist from Roy Downey to Nil Sabata that was followed by two unanswered baskets There is little doubt this was a run-and-gun game in the opening five minutes with both sides taking every opportunity to run the floor who produced a Man of the Match display against UCD Marian also sat out the opening exchanges with a slight injury but was introduced in the sixth minute Sadly for the Neptune star he picked up a leg injury a minute later and

Energywise Ireland Neptune's Conor O'Sullivan holds off Templeogue's Tavias Fagan Picture: Eddie O'HareScrutinising the Templeogue side they look a shadow of the teams that represented this club in recent years at this level as they basically have little depth in their squad In this period the Neptune coach Pat Price could afford to use various rotations and entering the second quarter they had established a 12-point lead The Dublin outfit began with a monstrous effort outside the arc from Immanuel Allen but Owen Connolly responded with a similar shot but Neptune without excelling still had a 13-point cushion in the 14th minute Despite Neptune looking in complete control a three-minute drought brought Templeogue back in the game and a basket and bonus from Allen reduced the deficit to

minimum 37-36 Credit to the Neptune point guard Kelvin Donoghue he went coast to coast and a late lay-up ensured his team went in at the break leading 39-36 Allen tied the game on the restart with a

a couple of long-range shots Darragh O’Sullivan had a tough night at the office in the shooting department but a stunning three-pointer with four minutes remaining in the quarter gave his side a nine-point lead Credit to Templeogue their never-say-die attitude continued and three consecutive baskets from careless Neptune turnovers reduced the deficit to three points The home side led 64-60

The Funeral Home accepts NO responsibility for its functionality or interruption to a live transmission Templeogue College has reached a “compromise” with the fourth teacher to pursue an employment rights claim against the Spiritan-run boys’ secondary school in the last two years. It follows an award of nearly €40,000 to another teacher who was penalised for putting her name to a staff grievance. The resolution was announced at the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on Tuesday morning as the tribunal was set to begin two days of hearings into a series of statutory complaints by the teacher, Darren O’Sullivan. “I understand the parties have reached a compromise,” said adjudicator Penelope McGrath. Owen Keany, appearing for the complainant, said: “The matter has been resolved. Both parties are very happy with the resolution.” The school’s barrister, Rosemary Mallon, said there was “no difficulty” with a proposal that the complaints “remain alive” for five weeks pending implementation of the compromise arrangement. No particulars of Mr O’Sullivan’s complaints against Templeogue College, nor the legislation under which they were brought, were made public at the brief hearing. Mr O’Sullivan is the fourth teacher at the South Dublin secondary school to bring a claim in the last two years. In November 2022, the school resolved claims of victimisation with two of its longest-serving teachers, Patricia O’Connell and Bríd Stack. The complaints were withdrawn before its former principal Niamh Quinn was called upon to give evidence. They had alleged they were subjected to exclusionary treatment by the senior management team at the school because they made complaints of ageist discrimination. Ms O’Connell gave evidence that Ms Quinn had been “dismissive” to her and that she was “frozen out” for bringing her complaint. This was denied by the school. Last month, the WRC awarded nearly €40,000 to a part-time Spanish teacher, Jennifer Clancy, after concluding that she had suffered “multiple and sustained acts of penalisation” for putting her name to a protected disclosure in the form of a collective staff grievance in early 2022. The staff group had voiced concern about health and safety, the loss of staff facilities and student discipline at the South Dublin boys’ secondary school, the WRC heard. These included an alleged assault on one teacher and claims that a student had filmed another teacher’s “backside”. Staff were told last Thursday that Ms Quinn had recently decided “to step down and move on from the school”. Ms Quinn declined to comment when contacted.

Templeogue College has been ordered to pay nearly €40,000 to a teacher who was subjected to “multiple and sustained acts of penalisation” for putting her name to a collective staff grievance. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) made the award after ruling that Jenny Clancy, who taught Spanish part-time at the South Dublin boys secondary school run by the Spiritan Education Trust, was “intimidated” by principal Niamh Quinn at a meeting in August 2022 – as well as being subject to unfair treatment, changes to her working hours and having disciplinary proceedings instigated against her. The employment tribunal awarded €39,912 on foot of Ms Clancy’s complaint under the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 – a sum worth 15 months’ salary – in a decision released to the parties on Monday. The ruling was made after the school closed its case last week without presenting any witness evidence – its lawyers having previously told the Commission that the principal, Ms Quinn, would give evidence denying and disputing claims of indiscipline at the school as well as her own alleged conduct towards Ms Clancy. Teachers lodged a collective grievance in the spring of 2022 raising concerns about health and safety, the loss of staff facilities and about student discipline. These included an alleged assault on one teacher and claims that a student had filmed another teacher’s “backside”. In evidence to the tribunal in February, Ms Clancy had likened the school under Ms Quinn’s leadership to a “ticking time-bomb”, where students had begun to feel they had “the run of the place” due to the way the principal had handled certain incidents. Ms Clancy had argued she was penalised for putting her name to the grievance when her timetable for the term starting in September 2022 was changed, requiring her to teach in the afternoons and upending childcare arrangements she said had been agreed with Ms Quinn’s predecessor before she agreed to teach at the school. Ms Clancy’s case as that when she went to a meeting in a bid to address the matter with Ms Clancy Ms Quinn became “frenzied” and shouted at her. Later, she said, she was informed that disciplinary proceedings were being brought against her. Ms Clancy’s barrister, Conor Duff BL, appearing instructed by Doyle Legal, said that despite his client repeatedly asking Ms Quinn to tell her what she was being accused of – to the point of having her solicitors issue a legal letter – the charge was never forthcoming, he said. Although adjudicating officer Breiffní O’Neill considered the school board’s handling of a grievance brought by Ms Clancy in September 2022, which was rejected, to be “inadequate and lazy”, its handling of the matter had not amounted to penalisation, he wrote. He added that Ms Clancy “was not penalised” by the school when an independent panel rejected her grievance following a hearing in November that year. Mr O’Neill ruled Ms Clancy’s complaint well-founded. He wrote that he could not take into account Ms Clancy’s “significant legal costs” in bringing the complaint, and accepted arguments from the school’s barrister Rosemary Mallon BL that any “stress or emotional toll” Ms Clancy had suffered should have been brought to another legal forum. However, he added: “I believe that an award at the very bottom of the scale would be inappropriate given the multiple and sustained acts of penalisation.” TEMPLEOGUE delivered a commanding performance in the U20 DMBB Cup Final overpowering Dublin Lions 99 78 in a thrilling encounter at Oblate Hall The red-clad Templeogue won all four quarters to secure a well deserved victory Templeogue coming out of the blocks quickly before Lions settled into the game with 3’s from Tighe and Captain Jacob Fazande Brady with nine of Lions first quarter scores and Ryan with some big rebounds at both ends Lions responded with a strong second quarter with three 3’s from Atora and another from Prosper Fazande and Mullins kept the scoreboard ticking and by halftime Templeogue turned up the intensity and took control of the game Gonga and Cabello added to the scoreline for Templeogue while Sheppard for Lions was enjoying success with some deep shots Mullins responded with 3’s for Templeogue and sharp ball movement and defensive pressure forced errors from Dublin Lions leading to a 27-16 third-quarter run that widened the gap to 73-56 while Templeogue’s U18’s Matonmi and Josh Fazande remained solid at both ends of the court but Templeogue’s experience and composure saw them maintain their lead A 26 22 final quarter sealed an emphatic 21-point victory Templeogue’s ability to win every quarter proving decisive Templeogue were crowned U20 DMBB Cup champions capping off an impressive run of Dublin Cup Victories for this team under their Coach Jay Fazande who has taken them since they were U11’s Templeogue’s U16 boys team inspired by the return from long term injury of captain Max Moran took to the floor for this groups first ever appearance in a DMBB Cup Final After a nervy start Templeogue found their rhythm creating good scoring opportunities with Max Moran (14 pts) and Harry Tighe (12pts) leading the scoring charge An intense defensive performance led by Brian Ciuciu assisted by Oisin Toomey and Max Moran with four blocks a piece With an electric atmosphere in a packed Oblates hall it was all to play for going into the fourth quarter with only one basket separating the two sides The next eight minutes went basket for basket with some excellent free throw shooting from Daniel Lawlor and steals from Lukas Janausaskas keeping the game close With one minute to go and a 1-point lead Lions finals experience showed marginal errors separated the teams at the final whistle This was a stellar performance for this young team in their first ever Final Tobin, Teresa (née Beashel) (Templeogue, Dublin) 5th October 2024, peacefully, at Naas General Hospital, beloved wife of the late Michael, adored mother of Lynda, Michael, Maria and the late Carol and loving sister of Emily and the late John, Kitty and Nancy; she will be very sadly missed by her loving son, daughters, sons-in-law, Michael's partner Trish, her grandchildren Valentina, Layla, Sadhbh and Donagh, sister, nieces, nephews, relatives and many friends.

I’m not going to be calling the principal,” the school’s barrister told the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on Friday. The school’s lawyers had previously said the principal, Niamh Quinn, would give evidence denying and disputing claims of indiscipline at the school, as well as disputing alleged claims about her conduct towards a former part-time Spanish teacher Jennifer Clancy, who has accused the school of whistleblower penalisation. The teacher’s barrister sharply criticised the school’s management on Friday, claiming its “tactics” in the case were an attempt to “wear down the complainant” and drive up her legal bills. These included an alleged assault on one teacher and claims that a student had filmed another teacher’s “backside”. Teachers lodged a collective grievance in the spring of 2022 raising concerns about health and safety, the loss of staff facilities and student discipline. Ms Clancy maintains she was penalised for putting her name to the grievance when her timetable for the term starting in September 2022 was changed, requiring her to teach in the afternoons and upending childcare arrangements she said had been agreed with Ms Quinn’s predecessor before she agreed to teach at the school. Cross-examining Ms Clancy earlier this year, the school’s barrister, Rosemary Mallon, said that Ms Quinn would tell the tribunal herself that although she found the collective grievance difficult, she “didn’t take it personally and didn’t do anything to specifically target you”. The cross-examination of three witnesses called by Ms Clancy’s lawyers was deferred on April 25th this year as the principal was “unable to attend” on that date. The principal had gone to each previous hearing of the matter – with the school’s barrister putting it to Ms Clancy under cross-examination in February that various allegations she had made would be contradicted by the principal when she testified. “I think the manner in which the respondent board of management has conducted this litigation has been nothing short of appalling ... The tactics employed have had the effect of attempting to wear down the complainant and incur exceptional legal expense through all this back and forth,” Ms Clancy’s barrister, Conor Duff, told the hearing. The tribunal is now set to hear evidence next Tuesday from the final witness in the case. The tribunal will then hear closing arguments. TEMPLEOGUE Synge Street will play Senior 1 football in 2025 after defeating Naomh Barrog by ten points in the Go-Ahead Ireland Dublin Senior Two Football Championship semi-final The quality of their attack essentially won the game for them with Dublin footballers Niall Scully Killian O’Gara and Lorcan O’Dell accounting for 1-8 of their 2-14 total scoring five points as Templeogue led 0-09 to 0-04 at the break Barrog came back into the game in the second half but goals in added time from Killian O’Gara and Bruce Waldron ensured a comfortable victory for Templeogue in the end Lorcan O’Dell opened the scoring in the third minute of the match having shaked off an injury sustained in the quarter final It was obvious O’Dell was still suffering from some degree of discomfort as he missed what would have been a carbon copy of his first score as Barrog levelled matters through Dublin Senior Hurler Paddy Doyle Synge Street’s attacking threat was prevalent throughout the match as O’Gara went close after 10 minutes but was denied by a brilliant goal saving block from Barróg centre-back Ciaran Gallagher Barrog went ahead minutes later before Templeogue responded with three points in as many minutes from Niall Scully substitute Fintan Dignam and Scott McConnell to lead by two by the end of the opening quarter continued to impress and got his second point of the game before Scully added three points before the break to put Synge Street five ahead at the interval O’Gara had another chance to put distance between the sides following the restart but his effort was well saved once again by Tom McGuirk as Barrog seized momentum and hit three consecutive points through Paul Tolan to narrow the gap to just two points Synge Street managed to weather the storm with O’Gara at the heart of things as he missed his first penalty before making no mistake with his second He turned provider for the final goal of the game as he released Bruce Waldron to finish emphatically and secure

National Basketball Arena Mark Keenan’s young side went down fighting 116-101 in an overtime loss to playoff bound Griffith College Éanna and will join Maree BC in dropping out of the top tier of Irish basketball as a result “The guys have given it their all tonight and throughout the season and I’m really proud of how they fought it out down the stretch with one of the best teams in the country.” “We are where we are at this stage of the season “This is a very young core and they will bounce back.” It’s semi-final time in the Go-Ahead Ireland Senior 2 Football Championship this weekend with four clubs looking to seal the two promotion spots to the Senior 1 Championship this weekend This weekend’s semi-final action gets underway when Naomh Barróg and Templeogue Synge Street feature at Parnell Park on Saturday (3.15pm) Naomh Barróg are looking for their first Championship title and promotion since they won the Intermediate Championship back in 2022 They beat Naomh Olaf 2-13 to 0-9 in their quarter-final and have a range of options that can help them get the win this Saturday who can provide the stability they will need to be on form against a talented Templeogue Synge Street side Templeogue Synge Street suffered heartbreak last year in the Championship after they were relegated from Senior 1 but will be promoted if they win their semi-final this Saturday afternoon They got to the final four by overcoming St Brigids by three points in their last outing Niall Scully and Scott McConnell both impressed scoring 1-5 and 1-1 on the way to helping their club progress they know they can rely on the defensive capabilities of Conal Cunningham and Conor McKiernan and in attack the inter-county pairing of Killian O’Gara and Lorcan O’Dell can help them into the final Whitehall Colmcille and St Oliver Plunkett/Eoghan Ruadh play in the second semi-final this weekend when they take to the field at Parnell Park this Sunday afternoon (2pm) Whitehall are looking to bounce back to Senior 1 football at the first time of asking after losing the relegation play-off last year and they know- given both Senior 2 finalists will be promoted- a win this weekend confirms just that Dublin Senior Football panelist Cormac Costello starred in their quarter-final win over Scoil Uí Chonaill as Whitehall pulled away in the second-half and won by 13 points Adam McDermott had a stormer of a game and contributed three points from wing-forward before Whitehall wrapped up the win thanks to Keith Campbell influential midfielder Seán Foran and Rory Kerins St Oliver Plunkett/Eoghan Ruadh have enjoyed a considerably better year than their 2023 Championship in which they had to win their relegation play-off against St Anne’s to preserve their Senior 2 status In the quarter-finals they beat St Marys Saggart 2-12 to 1-12 and in that encounter they hit the front foot early with goals from Neil Clerkin and Paul Brogan Their opponents then managed to turn the game on its head with some good scores and it would be level at the break Gareth Smith enjoyed a purple patch and kicked some much-needed points as Plunketts regained control of the game while further scores by Irinel Popa and Conor Tyrell secured their spot in the last four Dublin U16 manager Ciarán Pollock has named his team for this Saturdays Leinster Championship third and final round contest

Picture: David Creedon it looked like an amazing chance to win would slip through Vincent’s hands but they rescued it with a brilliant overtime to earn a well-deserved win JaRon Thames has been a consistent scorer all season for Vincents and the American delivered again with 37 points in the win Vincents are now tied on four wins with Templeogue but have two games in hand.  they host Maree and Marian in Glasnevin before welcoming Neptune a week later One win out of those three could be enough and two would likely secure their survival Killorglin's loss is their fourth loss in overtime this year and they are now running out of time to secure a playoff spot They face a Kerry derby next and need wins as soon as possible to get into the top eight Wildcats survive Killester overtime thriller 94-91 Waterford Wildcats beat Killester thanks to a last-second Ashia McCalla three-pointer McCalla had already come up hero at the end of regulation when she stole a Killester inbound pass and hit two free throws to get the game to Overtime Wildcats showed great resolve to get to overtime but will be thankful that they didn’t shoot themselves out of the game as they shot forty threes in the game What matters most is that they won the game and in beating both Killester and Meteors over one weekend shows the measure of where this team currently are As they develop momentum towards the playoffs excitement has to be growing that this team is capable of winning it all UCD Marian have impressed with another double-win week after beating Killester in the IWA on Wednesday 114-100 before returning to UCD and beating Maree 106-97 the Dublin side were expected by many to be in a relegation battle The signing of Lovre Tvrdic has been a big part of that as the Croatian showed again on Saturday night scoring 48 points in the win over his old team Maree Tvrdic averaged 16.6 points a game last year for Killorglin but he’s taken that up to 22.6 this season as he forms a dynamic backcourt with Jon Jean Marian still have a long way to go but the building blocks are there for a promising future Demons almost paid the price for underestimating Templeogue in the Parochial Hall before a late surge saw them secure a key win In a week where Killester had lost already losing would have been a disaster for Demons but thanks to some big contributions from their bench they got over the line but this wasn’t a game they would have pencilled in as a potential win Sam Henderson continued his great play since signing as he scored 36 points The schedule isn’t kind for Templeogue in their last four games but they are competing in a way that they hadn’t for much of the year Although they hold the head-to-head against Vincents they likely need one more win to survive Sean Jenkins sees Belfast Star and it’s almost red to a bull as he regularly delivers against the northern side Earlier this year there was bad blood after an Eanna win and Jenkins was a thorn in Star’s side again scoring 14 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter as Eanna came from behind to win 81-76 That 26-17 fourth quarter was the different as Jenkins 3 three-pointers proved the difference Eanna are right there with UCD and Ballincollig battling for the fourth spot currently and the defending Champions will feel that if they can build momentum over the next month Star host Killorglin in their next game and a win could be crucial in their attempt to secure a playoff spot Del Jane Williams was the standout performer as Glanmire topped Fr Mathews in a low scoring 67-56 win Williams scored 26 as many of the other top names underperformed Glanmire are 7-7 and will worry some of the top teams when it gets to the playoffs given their experience and the ability of Williams and Callie Cavanaugh They may not have had the same show as we’ve come to expect in The Complex but Tralee’s new home in MTU still gave them home-court advantage as they raced out to a 20-point first-quarter lead over Sligo and never looked back winning 103-70 Tralee’s blip earlier in the season is a distant memory and we’ll see now if they can build momentum for the playoffs and they will be tough to beat if they can fire on all cylinders I have sympathy for Sligo who had to travel to Cork on Wednesday night and Tralee then on Saturday They split those two games but were never in contention against Tralee Sligo have winnable games to close out the season and should be a playoff team if results go as expected over the next month Liffey Celtics bounced back from their loss to Wildcats with a good road win in Cork Alex Navarette had a day to forget against Wildcats scoring just two points but she rebounded well with a brilliant 29-point performance on Sunday Liffey won the physicality battle and as a result got to the line more often and were dominant on the boards Liffey looked set to be the 2nd seed in the playoffs and if their post-Cup blip is the motivating factor Karl Kilbride needed to have his team lock in then there’s a huge opportunity ahead for this talented team D6W and formerly of Kilmacud) – August 27th 2024 (peacefully) in the loving arms of her family while in the wonderful

Just one game in the Women’s Division One during the international window as Abbey Seals Dublin Lions look to move into a tie for second place in the standings with a win over Templeogue in Clondalkin The away side have only played three games in the first month of the season a win on the road over Cleveland Rockets sandwiched between narrow defeats to iSecure Swords Thunder the latter of which came in overtime in the National Cup a week ago Their leading scorer Joelle Burnley-Johnson only played seven minutes of that game due to injury so head coach Mark Byrne will be anxious to see her return to full fitness for this Dublin derby.  In her absence a number of young players stepped up to the mark Caoimhe Gilligan and Niamh Sherlock all reached double digits in during their cup defeat including a buzzer beater from Sherlock to send the game to overtime Tempoleogue head coach Mark Byrne said: We are looking forward to visiting Lions this weekend We’ve always had great battles against them in the past and I’m sure this one will be no different Our season has been a little stop-start so far with only 3 games with so many new players this season it’s a work-in-progress to develop but the chemistry and teamwork is really starting to come through The players have been great to work with and we’re getting stronger each week we’ll be looking to bounce back this weekend with a good performance Byrne’s opposite number Martin Conroy acknowledged that run of form this week: “Templeogue have been playing really well so far this season one in the League by six points and one in the cup by eight But they’ve also had a really great road win against Rockets.  They’re a really good squad with Aoife Whelan Hannah Byrne and Caoimhe Gilligan all underage international players and their American Johnson-Burnley can be a handful if she’s fit Mark is an excellent and very experienced coach and I’m sure he will have his team ready to make the short trip over to Clondalkin on Saturday.  We have some fantastic Irish talent and a great pro in Sofia (Paska) We’re getting better every game and the girls are getting used to me now It’s great fun to coach a group like this that are so focused on hitting our goals.” The joint leading scorers in Women’s Division One enter the game on the back of a 100-point performance against one of their pre-season rivals for promotion on paper Limerick Celtics They’ll be without one of their leading players this season in Jessica Fressle who has made the move back to Midlands Park Portlaoise Panthers but in Sofia Paska they have someone who is playing some of the best basketball statistically during her time in Ireland.  She’s averaging a double-double of 20.3 points per game and 10.7 rebounds per game to go with 1.3 blocks per game Matching up with her will be difficult for any team so how Templeogue choose to deal with her presence around the rim will go a long way to deciding the outcome of this game Beloved daughter of the late Polly and Joe and sister to her late brothers Joseph and Ciaran Ann will be sadly missed and forever remembered by her heartbroken sister Joan and brother Brian Paul and their respective husbands and wives D6W AC82 on Tuesday 9th July from 4pm to 6pm Funeral Mass on Wednesday morning at 11am in St D6W followed by burial thereafter in Bohernabreena Cemetery To view the funeral Mass online, please click here.
