"This Committee agrees that the Council fully support the Clondalkin Men's Shed in relocating to a new unit in Mayfield. This move is supported by the residents of Mayfield and would provide a space for the Men's Shed to continue their valued work for the community."
"This committee resolves that the Community Space which was designated for community use when the apartments on Orchard Road were built and which has lain empty in the years since then would be allocated without delay to the Clondalkin men's shed. The Men's Shed have agreed to facilitate the use of this space by other community groups such as active retired and meals on wheels. The ongoing stalemate in relation to this space makes a mockery of the practice of designating spaces for community use and this must be addressed."
