Heaven nose…

Local well known disability activist and qualified Dog Trainer Cian O’Neill has teamed up with Sinn Féin Cllr Dermot ‘Daisy’ O’Brien to organise a campaign for the delivery of a Dog Park for Bray.

Cllr O’Brien noted that Cian had been “hounding” him for a long time to take action on this issue.

“I have submitted a motion and made calls for this numerous times since I was elected and knowing Cian very well, we had a chat and decided to bring the campaign up a level and use digital media and a survey to capture people’s attention and more importantly to get them involved in the considerations for where a Dog Park might be best located in the town.

“We created a video where Cian’s expertise and awareness made the case for why we need one and what the benefits would be to dogs and owners. We also included a link to an online form where people could make suggestions for locations and also outline some benefits and barriers.”

According to Cian there is a real need for this, and one might not even be enough at this stage.

“As a dog owner myself and someone who has just qualified as a dog trainer, I can see the need for a dog park but it has to be done right. People need to be involved in this and we want to get all of the ideas together and then hold a public meeting to share the results and then present our results to the Council.

“I am very committed to making this happen and when it does happen, I will be even more committed to making it a success.”
