"That this Area Committee asks the Chief Executive to provide a statement on the logistical arrangements that the Council has put in place for Gaelforce Dublin and to detail what communications have been made to the local communities in Old Bawn, Firhouse, Kiltipper and Bohernabreena who are affected by the event."
"That the recent brochure on Rathfarnham Stables was very helpful and gave an indication of what could be done with the out buildings in Rathfarnham Castle. Local residents’ groups have pointed out that this indicative information should be expanded, where possible, to include parking and security facilities that such a project would require. In particular that the project and required parking and security arrangements would be self contained on the site. I understand that this is going to Part 8 but feel some consultations before part 8 would result ultimately in the best plan."
