ABOUT LEGAL MATTERS

Do You Know Your Director Duties?by Brendan Dillon, Dillon Solicitors

When deciding to go intobusiness people frequently optto set up as a limited companydue to the advantages itprovides. It is important howeverthat people becoming directorsof these companies becomefamiliar with the legal

obligations and responsibilities attaching to theirposition.

The primary function of the directors of a company is tomanage the company on behalf of the members. Adirector has a fiduciary duty to act in a manner whichplaces the interests of the company ahead of their own.This can be difficult as in many Irish companies thedirectors andmembers of the company are one and thesame and therefore, it can be difficult to distinguishbetween the company’s property and the director/member’s property resulting in directors treatingcompany property as though it was their own.

Director’s common law duties:1. Directors must exercise their powers in good faith

in the interests of the company as a whole and notto benefit the interests of any particular memberof the company.

2. Directors are not allowed to make an undisclosedprofit from their position as director and mustaccount for any profit which they secretly derivefrom their position as director.

3. Directors are obliged to carry out their functionswith due care, skill and diligence and are liable forany loss resulting from their negligent behaviour.

Director’s statutory duties:These duties arise under the Companies Acts 1963-2001 and include:1. A director has a duty to comply with their

obligations under the Companies Acts and toensure the requirements of the Companies Acts arecomplied with by the company. If a directorauthorises or permits a breach to take place theyare in breach of their duty, unless they can showthat they took all reasonable steps to prevent it, or

Brendan Dillon

due to the circumstances it was beyond theircontrol.

2. If a director makes a statement or produces adocument which they know to be false orinaccurate they are in breach of the Acts.

3. Section 202 of the Companies Act 1990 requiresevery company to maintain proper books ofaccount and it is a criminal offence to fail to do this.

4. Every company has a duty to maintain certainregisters and documents. These include a registerof members, register of directors and secretariesand their interests, register of debenture holders,minute books, directors’ service contracts,contracts to purchase own shares and register ofinterests of persons in its own shares (if a publiclimited company only)

ABOUT GARDENING

Round The Garden: Awkward April

April can be delightful on the weather front, but it canalso be an awkward month to predict. Cold snaps andeven snow can occur, so keep lots of horticulturalfleece at hand to protect tender plants – not forgettingtrees of the peach family.

PrepareOn the subject of horticultural fleece, it’s a good idea tocover the ground for a few days before planting, as theslight rise in soil temperature of the soil will be beneficial.This is the month for weeds to really take hold, soremember to hoe frequently. The gardener’s nightmare iscoming into its own this month – so do keep a carefulwatch for the first signs of slugs and snails. Deal with thembefore they can do too much damage to young seedlings.Peaches and nectarines can be pollinated with a smallbrush.

PlantApril is a great time for propagating hardy perennials, soplant some old favourites in new areas. Rock gardensshould be inspected for any plants which need to bepropagated by division. For those of us with ponds, this is

also a good month for division of water lilies. Strawberriescan be planted out in April. Don’t forget to train runnersinto new pots to gain additional plants.

PruneClimbing plants should be trimmed before new growthappears. Cuttings can be taken of all soft wood plants forstriking in pots. Roses should be pruned and shrubs, suchas buddleia davidii, need to have last year’s growth cutback.

ABOUT STYLE

Spring Clean Your Thinking!

Isn’t it good to see the stretch in the day andrealise that spring really is around thecorner?

At this time of year we often think about aspring clean: the house, the garden, thewardrobe, etc. But, how about a spring clean ofour thinking?

How challenging would it be to re-think howwe felt about ourselves - especially our bodies -when we look in the mirror?

Imagine that when you get up and have thatfirst bleary-eyed look at yourself in the morningyou were pleased with what you saw? This is nota pipe dream or wishful thinking. We are all tooready to be self critical. How much better wouldit be to be self praising – or at the very least self-accepting?

Studies have shown that there is a direct linkbetween our appearance and our self esteem.When we are feeling down or low aboutourselves we are most likely to dress in darkcolours and not to make an effort with our hairand makeup. What’s more, our body languagewill send a very clear “I’m unhappy” message toanyone around even if we don’t shuffle aboutwith hands in pockets looking at the ground!

If, on the other hand, at the start of a ‘feelinglow” day we took the time to do both hair andface and wore the clothes we knew worked thepositive effect on ourselves when we looked inthe mirror would begin to change our mood.

This can be easier to achieve if we’ve alreadysorted through our wardrobe and identified

what are the best clothes for our body shape,colour and lifestyle.

Everyone has positive and attractive features andwe could all benefit from focussing on those fora while, making an effort to ignore the innercritic and working at enhancing those attributesthat others might wish were theirs. Take a littletime out this season to re-think yourself into apositive frame of mind ladies, and rememberthat the wardrobe spring clean can also be partor this year’s therapy to a new you.

ABOUT LOCAL BUSINESS

Hardwired for Success – MicroPro Computers,Rathfarnham

In a time where all seems doom and gloom,

how about a local success story?

MicroPro Computers on 98 Nutgrove Avenue,

Rathfarnham has been providing local residents,

schools and businesses with their computer needs

for over 20 years. But their modest store front

belies the fact that they designed the world’s first

eco-computer called iameco (pronounced i am

eco). Check out their website for full details.

www.iameco.com

Established by PaulMaher and Anne Galligan in 1991

MicroPro Computers has a strong environmental

ethos and their long life computers and growing

reputation has brought them to the European and

World stage through their innovation in ground-

breaking eco-friendly computers which won an

Enviro Award in 2008.

While their work on iameco projects continues, the

daily business of MicroPro Computers is the

provision of laptops, printers, software and

computer repairs for the residents of South Dublin.

Their retail shop opened 12 years ago and is staffed

by a team of 25 locals, all of whom are fully

qualified engineers!

Pricing is key and as a Toshiba partner, MicroPro

Computers can sell laptops at prices which cannot

be beaten by the larger retailers. They stock a huge

selection of ink cartridges at the cheapest prices

with further discounts for schools. They are also the

Epson Service Centre for all Epson warranties.

Anne explained “When a client buys a laptop from

us they also buy our service. We can set up their

emails, anti-virus, printers, transfer their data etc.

Plus they can call us and speak directly with an

engineer whenever they need help or have a

problem”.

Unsurprisingly with such a strong engineering

and environmental ethos, computer repairs and

maintenance are at the heart of their business.

Paul advised “We want to extend the operational

lifetime of computers so our engineers enjoy

nothing better than a challenge when it comes to

repairs. All repairs both hardware and software are

performed on site to our ISO 14001 & ISO 9001

standards”.

So, the next time your pc is acting up, or if you lose

your files, spill coffee on your laptop and are in

despair, put MicroPro through their paces. They

will help to recover your data or replace damaged

components. A full repair of your laptop or pc is

€109 which covers 5 hours labour or €129 for

hardware, this also includes a 3 month warranty.

It is good to know that they offer a free pick up and

delivery service to all local senior citizens.

ABOUT CHILDCARE

Childcare Challenges and the ECCE Grant

In the current economic climate when manyparents are losing their jobs, one of the firstexpenses which are being examined is childcare.With this in mind, coupled with the introduction ofthe ECCE grant, we spoke with local childcareprovider Barbara Thornberry of ChuckleberriesMontessori about the options available to parents.

“These are certainly challenging times for crèches andMontessori schools”, says Barbara. “While we havebeen providing quality childcare in Knocklyon andFirhouse since 1998, we havemade changes to our businessmodel, to adapt to theeconomic challenges.”

“We opened a fabulous newcentre in Dalriada lastNovember, as our old centre inWoodstown, which was abovethe shops, was not adequateand didn’t allow for an adjacentoutdoor play area”.

“In tandem with this move, wehave been preparing for the new Government ECCE'free preschool place', which was introduced lastJanuary.”

Barbara explained “Initially it seemed that the schemewas not going to work for many childcare providers, asit appeared overly complicated and inflexible.”

“In simple terms there are two streams to the initiative,both of which covering the year prior to the childstarting primary school.”

“Firstly, regardless as to whether children are in full orpart time care, parents are granted €48.50 per weekfor 50 weeks care. The crèche then ‘claims’ the grantfrom the government and parents pay a 'top up' tomake up the difference between what the crèchecharges and the grant provided.

However, if children are in ‘sessional care’ (i.e.

playschool, naoinrai, Montessori, etc.) the grant is€64.50 per week for 38 weeks. Parents cannot pay a'top up' with this option. So, in real terms, thegovernment was telling childcare providers that theyhad to charge €64.50 to be approved for the scheme.

Many providers were ‘creative’ in stating what theparents were paying for. Some said it was thedifference between the grant and their fees forbirthday parties, arts and crafts materials, danceclasses or even 'voluntary' donations.

For us at Chuckleberries, thiswas too vague. It was fraughtwith complications for theprovider, children and theparents who didn't want to payfor extras.

So, just like our policy ondiscipline, we focussed on thepositive. We increased the timewe provided from 3 hours perday to 3 ½ hours per day, at noextra cost to the parents.

Not only did the parents then qualify for the grant,but the children gained an extra half hour of qualityMontessori, in the formative year before they startprimary school. It was a win-win solution!

Our Montessori schools are all certified with St NicholasMontessori Society, which has a stringent evaluationprocess. Chuckleberries have also been award winnersof the NCNA Centre of Excellence Award.

Our slogan is “we never forget it's the children thatmatter”. So, regardless of economic pressures, wenever do!”

ABOUT LOCAL FUNDRAISING

Sam McMahon Trust – A Fundraising ‘Culinary’ Triumph!

You may remember in our last issue we highlighted thestory of local boy Sam McMahon, who suffers fromFriedreich’s Ataxia. We asked your help to support afundraising event organised by his family to raise fundsfor the Sam McMahon Trust.

Well, on March 8th at the Grosvenor Suite in the D4Berkeley hotel, over 400 people attended the NevenMaguire Cookery Demonstration. It was a completesell-out!

His mum Caroline wrote this report.

The evening kicked off with a wine reception, duringwhich Neven's new book ‘Home Chef’, was snapped up!

During the first session, Neven selected what heconsidered to be the perfect three-course meal from‘Home Chef’ and guided the audience through therecipes. Gratin of Hake with Prawns, Spinach andPesto and a Chicken Chorizo Rice Bake looked andsmelled divine.

We were instilled with confidence that we couldrecreate them at home.

We raffled some fantastic prizes, including a meal atNeven’s McNeans Restaurant, during the break - all ofwhich added to the fundraising cause.

The second session saw Neven bake Warm Pear Tartswith Citrus Mascarpone Cream and Spun Sugar Curlsto decorate.

When the show was over Neven posed for endlessphotos and signed book after book. Words can’t conveyhis generosity and kindness. Not only is NevenMaguirea superb chef but he is a gentle, kind man who waswilling to give his time to the Sam McMahon Trust.

He presented Sam with a signed copy of his book andencouraged him and his brother to try out the recipes.We, at the Trust are also grateful to Neven’s wifeAmelda, who was involved in planning the event andJohn from Flogas who assisted Neven and suppliedcopies of the recipes for the demonstration.

Thanks are also due to all of the people who boughttickets, donated prizes for the raffle and who workedso hard to ensure that the event was a great success.We raised a fantastic total of €10,500.

We have arranged another cookery demonstrationwith TV3 celebrity chef Andrew Rudd in aid of theTrust and at the Loreto National School, RathfarnhamParent’s Association on 23rd May.

Full details on www.menupages.ie/sam and in thediary section of the magazine.

ABOUT SPRING CLEANING

Spring into Action!

Yes, it is that time again - Spring Cleaning! As theweather gets milder, flinging open the windows tothe fresh air and attacking the house is somethingwhich many find very therapeutic! To help makethings easier we’ve got some great tips from a localprofessional – Kevin Mills at Chem-Dry Express.

“With anything you must prepare in the right way. Youwant to get the job done fast but not cut corners. Youwant to use safe products but they have to be effective.Most importantly you don’t want to take on a job thatis meant for a professional, as you’re only wasting yourtime and energy!

The good news is I have enough tips for you to getthrough everything and have your house like new again!

1. PlanningDon’t take on more than one task at a time. This willenable you to work efficiently and effectively. Whenitems are found that belong in another area, placethem in a basket and take the time later to return eachitem to its rightful place.

2. ClutterThis is a great time to simplify and de-clutter yourhome. Recycle old books, magazines and clotheswhich you no longer wear. Replace with candles andflowers.

3. FridgesSpringtime brings a change in diet, so this is a greatopportunity to clean the refrigerator. Use a chemicalfree combination of salt and soda water. The bubblingaction of the soda water combined with the abrasivetexture of the salt works great as a cleaner.

4. Kitchens and Bathrooms (We can help here!)There may be a build up of limescale around yourtaps. The best way to get rid of it is to lay paper towelsover the fixture and soak it with vinegar, letting it setfor one hour. The deposits will soften and becomeeasier to remove. The same applies for shower headsin hard water areas. In the bathroom, pop anymildewed or scummy plastic shower curtains into thewashing machine on a warm wash - say 40°C. Don'tspin - remove and hang back up straight away so thatthe creases fall away!

Use old toothbrushes to clean awkward nooks andcrannies - like plug-holes and drains. If you find that thebottom of your shower tray or shower doors havewatermarks which are difficult to remove - get a nylonscouring pad and water, it works wonders! Want an ecofriendly way of removing stains from the toilet? Just poursome cola down, flat or fizzy, it works a treat (honest!)

If the grouting around your tiles is looking mouldy,you can get it professionally cleaned – which will saveyou money and make your tiling look like new!

5. Carpets & Upholstery (We can help here too!)Invest in a good vacuum cleaner! Vacuum your carpettwice a week. This will help keep dirt from settling tothe bottom of the carpet. If you have pets, try tovacuum three times a week especially in the areaswhere your pet lies on the carpet.

For fresh stains, carbonated water works well. Just poura generous amount to the soiled area and gently blotthe area with a typical white towel. Avoid cheap carpetcleaning products, they leave behind a soapy residueand the carpets will get worse over time!

I can guarantee when it comes to fully cleaning acarpet or suite Chem-Dry Express can provide a verycompetitive price, with the highest quality cleaningsystem available! Don’t destroy your carpets orupholstery with inferior products. Trust Chem-DryExpress for Drier, Cleaner, Healthier® Carpets andUpholstery!”

ABOUT TAROTSCOPES

Tarotscopes by Mags

ARIESA possible job offer is on the table. But you may act fastas there are a few qualified applicants. You may, at thistime, feel a wee bit lethargic. Your battle is not to keepgoing, rather to get going. Your love life improves whenyou become more positive. You risk being accused ofverbal abuse when you believe you are being a cool dude.

TAURUSYes! At last you are ready to embark upon anentrepreneurial venture. This may well be in the form of artor indeed writing. A trip abroad is very interesting as it isthe opener to a host of contacts which may be verybeneficial to your future success. Stop fretting about love:just accept that you are destined to be happily soul mated.

GEMINIThe weather may drag yourmood down, but you bounceback with a vengeance. Buyingan outfit or two is the perfectanswer to rainy day blues. Thepromise of summer sun andheady romance sends you to thetravel company. Taking up thechallenge to organise a fundraiseris the karma way to go. You getback your input to the universe.

CANCERMoving sideways out of a bad situation is a traitattributed to your sign. Utilising this particular talent inthe love department is definitely not the way to go, lestyou be the ultimate loser, rather face up to life and itsmulti-faceted challenges. Unattached? Love arrives fromacross the water in an act of fulfilling destiny.

LEODo not allow your fiery side take dominance this week,rather to step back and see a totally different side to thesituation. You must strive to calm your far too quicktemper. An island divides you from the love of your life.This is a temporary break and is a universal gift to makeyou look at yourself, warts and all. Then begin correcting.

VIRGO“I like life and life likes me”. Making this your personalbyword is the best gift you can give yourself this week. Itis as if you have just awoken from a long slumber andcannot see the woods because the trees are in the way.Fear not! You are now ready for life to bestow a myriad ofblessings and abundance, to enhance your very existence.

LIBRACards advise that you embark upon a healthier eating plan.You need to look your very best for the coming summer.Love is highlighted and you are destined to find love at thesame time love finds you. Thinking of others makes you feelgood and invokes a positive karma. So go on Libra, get intoa charitable mode of thinking. Cash luck follows.

SCORPIOAn issue around education can leave you feeling drained,but cards advise you speak your personal truth and getcracking on your own educational plan. The rewards to youare great. Its okay to have faith and trust the heavens, butyou must be prepared to play an active part in your owndestiny: speaking of which is looking very, very good indeed.

SAGITTARIUSDo the paperwork and present it ingood order. You are set to becomeexceptionally busy and need tohave a streamlined approach to thetasks at hand. Look at the businessoption again and make thenecessary corrections. All is not lost,it is just a slightly different ballgame.Unattached? Shyness may beconstrued as arrogance to a newsuitor.

AQUARIUSA love of music may well see you embarking on a career insame. Cards show you writing your thoughts and settingthe words to notes. By the start of May, life has a uniquelydifferent meaning for you. You may find that you are morecontent and certainly more aware of natures aromatherapyand colour therapy. A certificate is presented to you.

CAPRICORNYou may, of recent days have felt as though you lived in avirtual mirror. You are blossoming and breaking out of themould and life awaits your entrance onto the world stage.If love is meant to be then just accept it and enjoy everymoment of togetherness. That sunshine break takes you toa love island in the med perhaps?

PISCESA complication with a house can be sorted. You need tostop and properly evaluate the situation and then modifywhere necessary. Take the money when someone stays onyour property and let this be the beginning of a new dawnof hope for you and yours. A trip you do not wish to take,to the west maybe? Is a trip into destiny. Take it!
