Beauty Therapist, Helen Burke, is available in Thursdays to answer your beauty queries. The new look boutique is spacious, and tastefully decorated. A gleaming polished floor greets the customer on entering the premises, and low voltage lighting is easy on the eye. The four fitting rooms are well laid out and com fortable with swinging wood doors. The shop front has attracted a lot of atten tion. In the distance, it ap pears to be pink marble, but on closer inspection, it is painted wood. Christy Cooney, a 79 year old Dubliner is responsible for the delightful feather ef fect on the front which was achieved by brushing tiny feathers across the painted surface. Both Tony Mc Mahon and shop manageress, Mary Madden are looking forward to busy times

E LECTION

Direct Access to Brussels
Last weekend Deputy Robert M o l l o y accepted the Progressive D e m o crat nomination for the June European Elections and urged that this Constituency of ConnachtUlster should have direct access to Brussels. H e believes that this region should have direct access to E.C. Structural Funds without the negative, initiative sapping, filtering process that has to be gone thrugh at present through the Dept. o f Finance and Central Government. "In my v i e w , i f Connacht/Ulster could gain direct access to Brussels, and the new s t r u c t u r a l funds for integrated programmes, we would start a new era of hope and opportunity, which, if maintained over a ten to fifteen year span, would completely trans

form the lives o f our people and eliminate the poverty that goes with the lack of opportunity "that has scourged our people since the foundation o f the State, despite the best intentions of native Governments. If we believe in being truly European, we can achieve real European standards of living". Deputy Molloy stated that this Constituencyhas the highest level of population dependent on agriculture but it also has the lowest level o f farm incomes. Under the European Community Structural Funds Reg ulations, he said, we had first claim because we suffer the greatest decline in rural popula tion. Productive invest ment in agriculture, industry, tourism and fishing must be achieved through efficient planning that meets the legal requirements o f the

T h e candidate con cluded: " I am prepared to spend time in Brussels to fight for these things to ensure that your children can stay and live at home in Ireland. Our future lies in playing our full part as citizens of a new Europe and I would relish the task of working in your interests, as your representative in the new Parliament of Europe, to be elected here on 15 June 1989".

Unemployment/ Emigration two Biggest Problems
Fianna Fail Candidate Mark Killilea, M . E . P . , stated last weekend that unemployment and emigration are the two biggest porblems con fronting the West of Ireland in the late 1980's. T h e failure to provide jobs for the present young generation is resulting in thousands upon thous a n d s of young people leaving the country each year in search of work in the U . K . , America and many other countries. "I believe", said M.HI' Mark Killilea. "that the E E C ' s internal market programme, due to be finished in 1992, offers us an unique chance to slow this cycle of unemployment and emigration.

move into the new markets which will open up as soon as the barriers to trade are removed in 1992. W e already have an export oriented economy, last year we exported two thirds of our output - an increase from 50% about ten years ago. W e must continue to increase our exports in the coming years - full and free access to 320 million of the most affluent consumers in the world, presents us with an unrivalled opportunity to do just that", he stated. IVAN McPHILLIPS A Marketing Graduate, w h o works with several Gaeltachi companies and w h o lives in G a l w a y C i t y is t h e L a b o u r P a r t y c a n d i d a t e to c o n t e s t t h i s c o n stituency in the J u n e E . C . Election. T h e internal market will create at least two million new jobs throughout the twelve countries in the E E C during the 1990s, it could create up to five million, depending on how committed the member states are to pursuing the programme to the end. " W e must make sure that we capture our share of these new jobs for our young people. T h e key to our success in doing this is very simple, we must be properly prepared to

finding a solution to the problem of rural depop ulation is a g r i - t o u r i s m which is seen as an essential mainspring of the programme for rural development already being prepared and which would have a considerable variety o f options. M r . Doherty said he was particularly heart ened to hear this because of the urgency which he felt must be given to the improvement of social and economic conditions in an area where there are top quality services but not sufficient revenue income. H e said anothr matter of major and special significance discussed during the meeting last week was the environ ment and its protection. Environmental issues are increasing in importance every day and for a number of years as Chairman of the Oireachtas Environ mental Sub-Committee on Secondary Legislation the experience had been in Europe where dam aged or poor quality environment had so many detrimental effects for people and wild life is now more apparent than ever in many places.

Agri-Tourism Main Spring for Development
T o p level discussions took place last week in Strazburgon how to halt the depopulation o f the West and North West. T h e discussions were led by Fianna Fail Euro Elections candidate, S e a n D o h e r t y , who took a group of fellow Parlia mentarians to the European capital to meet Commissioner Ray M c S harry to find out how he might use the rural development part o f his new European portfolio to combat what M r . Doherty this week said poses a serious social problem for the region. One of the major areas of relevance in hopefully
