Over the past number of years we have covered the lack of green spaces and play areas for children in Dublin 8, highlighting the difficulties the local community has had in making any progress towards a playing field in a community that is constantly growing in population.

This morning, we return to that story once more but, this time, we have some good news to bring you on it with funding provided for a pitch at St James’ School. Pat spoke to JJ O’Mahony, Chairperson, Sporting Liberties on this good community news.
