-
- continue negotiations with developers of Adamstown on the provision of a much-needed Sports & Community Hall at Adamstown Community College;

That this Committee supports a request by Scoil Aonghusa Senior School in Balrothery to have the field adjacent to the school converted to a Gaelic Pitch for use by the students of the school. The school have a very successful senior boys and a girls team and have played and won in Croke Park as part of Cumann Na MBunscol over the past few years. This request has come from a teacher in the school who is also the Gaelic Coach. The field is currently going to waste as it is not being used for any sports matches or competitions, because of this there has been an increase in anti-social behaviour in the area. This committee believes that if we put up Gaelic goals on the field it would not only be a benefit for the children in the school but also the community as a whole. The school currently use Thomas Davis' all weather pitch for our home matches as the field as it is, is unsuitable for Gaelic. This costs the school a lot of money and will not be feasible in the long run.

"That the Chief Executive report on all issues regarding what role if any it has in facilitating the construction of a sports hall at Adamstown, which while much needed for Adamstown Community College and the wider community is now also holding up the provision of further phased construction and related facilities on these serviced lands in the midst of a housing crisis; to clarify whether it can negotiate with any developer while court proceedings are initiated by the ETB; to clarify whether it views the provision of covering the costs upfront (assuming the developer cannot get funding for same) as primarily within its remit, or whether this is largely a matter for the ETB and by implication the line Minister; to outline whether any communications were received (since the summer and by the time of this motion being submitted) from the Minister for the Environment, the Minister for Education, or indeed any Minister, outlining concerns about the delay in progress on the SDZ; and if he will make a statement on the matter."
