It’s back and so am I!Yes, after stepping aside from editing for more than 2 years, I am back in the driving seat. I hope you enjoy your new, shiny, redesigned About Rathfarnham. I have really missed editing the magazine and hearing from you.As ever, the issue is packed with great features, supported by lots of excellent local trades and businesses, with a peppering of local news and events.

There’s a super ‘Buy a Handbag’ event in the Ballyroan Resource Centre on 22 June, to support two local charities – go grab a bargain and support a local cause.

We are building up our Facebook page (About Magazines Dublin), so do visit it and like us. We want to build it up to keep you up-to-date with local news and events taking place in between issues. We will also ‘like’ any local business or charity who’ likes’ us, so we can continue to support local business and activities.If you fancy lunch in Mao’s followed by a show in the Mill Theatre, enter our fabulous competition on page 18. The winning entry will be published, so get creative with your Limericks!

Remember, I love to hear your news and all about local achievements, so email me or call me! Finally, remember to support the local businesses advertising with us. They are all part of the local community and without them there would be no magazine.

Enjoy the summer!

If I had a penny for every time I’ve heard – ‘Calendar Girls? What a brave choice!’ ….. It has a certain risqué reputation but it’s really a play with an engaging, heart-warming story and some really good one-liners.

Adapted by Tim Firth from the screenplay of the Miramax fi lm, it takes to the Mill Theatre stage in late June. And, yes, it is that Calendar Girls, based on a true story, in which ordinary women opt to bare all, and pose for a calendar to raise funds in memory of a friend’s husband who dies of leukaemia. These women are all members of a village Women’s Institute in the Yorkshire Dales and takes place in the local Church Hall.

The 14 intrepid women in our version all come from the Dundrum area and its environs with cast members from Balally Players, Glencullen MDS , Sandyford, Rathfarnham T.G. and Square One. This is nudity guaranteed to make you smile instead of smirk, while they grin and bare (sic) it and prepare for the challenge. Anne Mekitarian - Director

Calendar Girls Grin and Bare it at the Mill Theatre


Interiors

Kit or bespoke?Kits tend to be cheap and DIY-friendly, as most of the parts (usually a PVCu frame and polycarbonate roofing) are pre-cut and pre-drilled ready for installation. Bespoke designs will cost more, but you’ll have something tailored to your individual requirements.

Size, sitting and aspectFor a useable room allow at least 8-10 metres of floor area and consider how the space will complement your property and garden. How will your conservatory adjoin the house? Is there a large enough exterior wall, and will you have to avoid obstructions such as trees or outbuildings? Try to place it facing east or west, as north-facing conservatories tend to be cold, while south-facing ones can overheat.

Walls and framesTraditionally, conservatories are built onto a 600mm high ‘dwarf’ wall made of brick or stone, to match or complement your house. More recently, fully-glazed structures have become fashionable, offering a contemporary look and even more light.

The most popular choice for the wall framework is PVCu, a material that is light, strong, requires little maintenance and can be system-built quickly and easily. Bespoke conservatories are generally made in hardwood, which can be carved into slender, intricate designs and suits older properties, though it is more expensive and requires regular maintenance.

GlazingDouble or triple glazing is essential and the best glazing combines a low-emissivity coating that reflects heat back inside, and argon-gas filled units for maximum insulation. In a bespoke conservatory, you can specify tinted, etched, obscured, anti-sun, fire-resistant, self-cleaning or other specialist glass at a price. For roofs, choose from glass or polycarbonate panels. The latter are light and strong, cheap, and quick and easy to fit, but tend to obscure light, particularly at thicknesses that achieve the same thermal performance as double glazing. Near trees, they may also suffer from algae growth.

HeatingHeating is essential and, to comply with building regulations, it must be independent from your main system. You could place radiators against the dwarf

walls or install under-floor heating, either warm-water pipe or electric cable, or you may consider electric trench heaters, hidden under grilles around the edges of the floor. Where there’s room for a chimney or flue you can install an open fire on the wall that was the outside of the original house.

VentilationIn the height of summer you’ll need a cool waft of air. Roof vents may be opened manually (with long-armed winding gear) or electrically, or may even be thermostatically controlled to open and close at the necessary time. Trickle vents in the roof or side windows are useful, allowing warm air to flow out as necessary. You may also wish to add a central ceiling fan.

ShadingBlinds ensure privacy, provide shade from direct sunlight and reduce the build-up of heat. If heat is a problem, try solar-reflective roller blinds. Otherwise, the options include pleated fabric, pinoleum Roman blinds and slatted Venetian blinds. Take your time choosing a look that’s right for you; consider how easy they are to clean and whether you want to open and close them with pull-cords, rods or via remote control.

Do I need permission?Many small, domestic conservatories don’t need planning permission, but there are conditions. If in doubt, consult your local planning authority.

1 To make the falafel, place the chick peas, garlic, parsley or coriander, spices and fl our in a food

processor and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Process for about 1 minute until you have a fairly smooth mixture. Turn into a bowl then divide and shape the mixture into 12 small patties with clean wetted hands.

2 Shallow fry the patties in hot oil for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove with a slotted

spoon and drain on kitchen paper. a

3 Meanwhile, place the sliced peppers on a foil-lined grill pan and drizzle over the olive oil. Grill for 3-4

minutes on each side until tender and lightly charred in places.

4 Toss together the salad leaves and shredded iceberg lettuce. Arrange on four plates with the

grilled peppers. Halve the hot falafel then add to the salad and top with roughly crumbled goats’ cheese.

5 To make the dressing, place all the ingredients in a screw-topped jar and season with salt and freshly

ground black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately.

If you’re having veggie friends around for lunch or just fancy a meat-free supper for a change this colourful salad will fi t the bill. Falafels are small Middle Eastern deep-fried patties made with cooked chick peas. you can buy them ready-made in most supermarkets or deli’s but they are really easy to make at home with just a can of chick peas and a few store cupboard ingredients. For an on-the-go salad pack into warmed pitta breads.

Most of us shy away from considering our later years and what they might bring. There may be the joy of watching our family grow and develop with grandchildren, great nephews and nieces, but understandably we do not like the idea of becoming incapacitated.

However, we should start thinking about what can be termed as the “longest holiday” of our lives sooner rather than later, as it is now clear that the government will not be funding the ongoing costs of any care that might be required.

According to statistics from the Central Statistics Office, up to 25% of Ireland’s population will be over the age of 65 by 2041. According to its population and labour force projections for 2011-2041, there will be between 1.3 and 1.4 million people over the age of 65 by 2041, compared to just 460,000 in 2006. The number of people over the age of 80 is projected to quadruple, from 110,000 in 2006 to 440,000 in 2041. Action Age say that the cost of a private nursing home is around €1,245 and cost of a public nursing home is around €876 per week.

As the state is not going to assist in any meaningful form regarding ongoing care needs, we need to consider the cost of buying care as this is also rising. For example, maintaining professional quality care in one’s own home is now running at around €17 per hour (before tax relief).

Here are some tips that will enable you to start planning for the future.

Check what pension you may be entitled to when you retire. You can get information from www.welfare.ie and complete an enquiry form.

Check your contributory pension, ensuring that you have current information for all of them.

Realistically consider what your pension and other savings might be worth. Monitor your investments

regularly with a professional adviser.

Think about when your mortgage will be repaid, along with any other commitments. Put income that you have released, when loans are repaid, towards savings and pensions for your future.

Start thinking of your house as a commodity that might have to be used to fund care needs in the future.Consider a special form of trust to ring fence the equity of your house. This can protect your home from local authority means testing when you qualify for care.

Review your Wills and the position regarding inheritance tax with your solicitor.

Seek independent financial advice from an appropriately qualified professional, and appoint an adviser on a fee basis to advise you.

The facts before us may not be favourable and planning for our longest holiday may take many years to achieve. Although finances might be under pressure at this time, doing something now is going to be better than doing nothing.

on the complexity you may wish to call in the experts. Kitchens can be hugely expensive to replace. Quite often adding a new sink and worktops will suffi ce, if the units are in good condition. Door handles can be replaced, or the doors themselves can be changed. For a complete revamp without the fi nancial outlay, the entire kitchen may be repainted. This works especially well if you are happy with the amount of cupboards and the existing layout.

If you need some expert advice, the Style my Room team can completely transform your chosen room - instantly. After your initial design consultation with a qualifi ed interior designer, a colour scheme and style is decided upon. We then source everything needed to give your room the WOW factor, from curtains and wallpaper to lamps, mirrors and accessories. This unique service is available for an extremely affordable fi xed price per room, starting at just €999. The individual room styling packages offer incredible value, with quality products and designer style combined. Everything is supplied and fi tted by experienced tradesmen leaving your home looking simply stunning. Just in time for Summer!

Technology by Tom O’Keeffe

The mobile application market represents a cultural shift for the human race. We’re going to take a look at some of the best money-saving apps available for both Apple and Android devices.

Skype | www.skype.com | Free

These days, Skype is practically a household name but many overlook the mobile version of this brilliant Internet telephony software as a supremely useful money-saving tool. Encourage everybody you know to download Skype on their mobile device and you have suddenly significantly reduced the chances of ever using up all of your free minutes. This simple app could save you hundreds in the long run.

Voucher Cloud http://www.vouchercloud.ie | Free

Most people are familiar with the idea that we’re now in a digital era of cutting coupons. Voucher Cloud is an app for all of the best digital offers. Firing it up will find you everything from free five-day passes to your local gym to discounts on driving lessons and reduced prices in restaurants. It’s worth taking the time to sit down and check the T&Cs so you know exactly what it is you’re signing up for. Spending a little time being thorough on the small print however will save you hundreds of Euro per year.

RedLaser Barcode Scanner | http://redlaser.com | Free

Ever found yourself in a shop whereby the little voice in your head is asking you whether you might find the item cheaper on the Internet or just round the corner? All that’s needed to answer the question is your smartphone device and a Wi-Fi or mobile Internet connection. Photograph the barcode using the on-board camera and it will recognise the item and then cross reference prices with department stores, a vast array of websites, including Ebay, and even local stores. It’s worth noting that the latter feature works best in larger towns and cities.

What’s App |http://www.whatsapp.com | Free

WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. WhatsApp Messenger is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia and yes, those phones can all message each other! Because WhatsApp Messenger uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing, there is no cost to message and stay in touch with your friends. In addition to basic messaging WhatsApp users can create groups, send each other unlimited images, video and audio media messages.

Trivago FreeWhereas other apps and websites compare the cost of hotel rooms, Trivago goes one step further and compares room rates on the main hotel booking websites such as booking.com, hotels.com and lastminute.com. So if you want to stay in a particular hotel it can tell you the cheapest site to book it through.

How can I ensure the best finish and coverage from my foundation?

Liquid foundations work best for most people because you can apply as much of it or as little of it as you like. Your foundation will work best - and last longer - if it’s applied to primed skin. Always ensure that you cleanse, tone and moisturise your face first and then apply a primer to create the ideal base.Using a damp make-up sponge, evenly apply your foundation to your skin, paying particular attention to blending well over your jaw line.

When I use concealer under my eyes to cover dark circles I seem to draw attention to my fine lines. Do you have any tips to stop this?

Always ensure that your eye area is well moisturised before you apply your concealer. Use an eye cream both in the morning and at night and choose a concealer that has a very creamy texture.

My skin is dry, but I have heard that foundation should always be set with a power. Should I use it?

Powder is essential for creating a flawless finish. If you have dry skin, try applying a little powder sparingly to your t-zone (this is the centre of your face, forehead, nose, front of cheeks and tip of chin), but not all over your face.

I really like having a bronzed glow in the summer, but most of the bronzers I have used look fake and orangey on my fair skin. What should I do to avoid this?

Bronzers are often very dark in colour and can look incredibly unnatural, especially on fair or ivory skin tones. Try using a bronze coloured pressed powder instead - the colour will be far more natural and you can build up both colour and coverage until you obtain the look you want.

I’m never sure what colour of blusher to choose or where to apply it. Do you have any tips for making sure I get it right?

A lot of blushers can look very unnatural and harsh, so it’s very important to choose the right colour. Avoid bright pinks and reds or any other loud hue and instead select more neutral shades in peachy, soft pink tones.Keep that in mind when applying your cosmetics and ensure you always aim to create a natural look.

Blusher should be applied to the apples of your cheeks. Sweep the product evenly over the outer part of your cheeks as you do not want it to be placed too close to your nose.

I want to draw attention to my eyes and make them look bigger, wider and brighter. What make-up products should I be using?

A great way to create a bright, wide-eyed look is to line the inner rim of your eyes with a good quality white eyeliner pencil. This will help to immediately brighten up the eyes and draw attention to them, making them appear bigger. It will really enhance the colour of your eyes too.Eyelash curlers are an essential tool for creating this sort of look. Curl your lashes, then apply a few coats of mascara to set them in place.

The invitation to review a new public library in Dublin awakened some of my oldest and most pleasant childhood memories. The local public library of my Dublin childhood was (and still is) a rather prim neo-Georgian building with a civic air that could easily be in a provincial English town. Today most modern architecture can pretty easily achieve a “well-tempered environment”. And we can reasonably expect a modern library to be well-lit, airy, well-heated. Yet one of the first images I was shown of the new public library at Ballyroan by Gary Mongey (box architecture) unsettled me slightly. Not that I expected a space with neo-Georgian proportions or an open fireplace but the deep concrete beams spanning considerable distances seemed to imply a mono-functional, hall-like space that could, differently fitted out, just as easily be a supermarket and this in turn awakened very different

associations, in terms of light, warmth, and sound. But on entering the building I immediately realised how wrong I was. The reading room in Mongey’s Ballyroan library is indeed a long, broad space with the proportions of a large, flexible hall, but the handling of materials and, perhaps in particular, light shows a rare and truly architectural sensitivity. Concerns about the lack of more intimate spaces for small children were quickly

dispelled, there is a separable children’s area at one end of the reading room, while the bay windows or pods lined in birch plywood that structure the outer long wall of the space offer ideal niches for kids to crowd together and share what they have found in the books. Outside the building, benches with slatted seats placed opposite these “pods” take up the internal rhythm and establish a dialogue with the suburban setting. Narrower pods on the short end of the space receive a more contemplative light from above, making them ideal for individual readers.

Throughout the reading room, the staggered pattern of roof lights with a glass lining in the opes provides calm, even daylight. The reading room is entered from a flanking, two-storey tapering hall that connects entrances at either end and is something of an architectural tour de force. This outer side of the internal street – maybe “street” is too suggestive of commerce and concourse would be better – is two-storey and wood wrapped and a reference and research library on the upper floor communicates through internal windows and wooden flaps with the concourse and indirectly with the reading room. A truly public space, where nothing must be consumed (except perhaps knowledge) and which emanates an unexpected grandeur.

Outside the building, benches with slatted seats placed opposite these “pods” take up the internal rhythm and establish a dialogue with the suburban setting. Narrower pods on the short end of the space receive a more contemplative light from above, making them ideal for individual readers.

Throughout the reading room, the staggered pattern of roof lights with a glass lining in the opes provides calm, even daylight. The reading room is entered from a fl anking, two-storey tapering hall that connects entrances at either end and is something of an architectural tour de force. This outer side of the internal street – maybe “street” is too suggestive of commerce and concourse would be better – is two-storey and wood wrapped and a reference and research library on the upper fl oor communicates through internal windows and wooden fl aps with the concourse and indirectly with the reading room. A truly public space, where nothing must be consumed (except perhaps knowledge) and which emanates an unexpected grandeur.

Ballyroan library forms part of a group of buildings that endeavours to give this area a hub, a community. Mongey has adapted the community centre, built a new pastoral centre and the library. Between the latter two buildings he has made a paved space planted with trees, now used mostly for parking, but in autumn it hosts a harvest festival. The exteriors are low key, distinctly civic in contrast to the essentially private suburban idiom of render, brickwork and tiling used in surrounding houses. The new buildings suggest coming together, a meeting place; surely something much needed and appreciated in this and other similar neighbourhoods.

These days, references to Ireland’s economic diffi culties probably raise at best a weary groan but perhaps in fi nancially diffi cult times public facilities such as this library (which offers an impressive range of services) are particularly needed and appreciated. Dublin has every reason to be proud of such libraries and box architecture can be equally proud of having created an urban centre and a sheltered, calm, welcoming reading space with a public concourse that conveys a true civic dignity. This is an extract from the article which was fi rst published in Architecture Ireland, the offi cial journal of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.
