I request that the Chief Executive provides the original documents related to the construction of Adamstown Community Centre, with a specific focus on the design phase that indicates provisions for a potential extension.
The committee is eager to receive detailed information regarding the initial design that outlines the designated area for a possible extension. Additionally, we seek clarification on any agreements or understandings concerning responsibility for constructing the extension.
Furthermore, the committee is aligned in its decision to request a comprehensive cost estimate and plan for the proposed extension.

Any cooperation in providing the requested documents and information will greatly contribute to the informed decision-making process regarding the extension of Adamstown Community Centre.

Seeking Clarification on Arthur Griffith Park FC Facilities and Adamstown Airlie Park Access Committee, seeking clarification on two interconnected matters. Motion: in the name of Cllr Liona O'Toole and Cllr Guss O'Connell This committee requests that the Chief Executive clarifies the current situation regarding the order from council officials to Arthur Griffith Park FC instructing them to remove the portable facilities that are and have been on site in AGP for some time. This request follows an email that was circulated to all councillors in the last couple of weeks. The committee also seeks clarification around access to the new park in Adamstown Airlie Park, whereby the club was informed that until the portable units are removed, access to the new park will be blocked. All reasons for retaining the portable units are outlined in the email sent by the club. This motion is vital for the committee to gain a clear understanding of the circumstances surrounding the directive to remove portable facilities and the subsequent impact on access to Adamstown Airlie Park. Clarifications will greatly assist the committee in addressing the concerns raised by Arthur Griffith Park FC
