To ask the Chief Executive for a full report on Building Control enforcement and compliance issues at the Citywest Hotel campus, including the Convention Centre, Hotel and Leisure Centre buildings, following the Warning Letter issued by South Dublin County Council on 28 November 2025 in respect of 'material change of use and material alterations' at the Citywest Convention Centre.


Can the report include and confirm the following:


1. what enforcement steps have been taken since that Warning Letter was issued;
2. whether any Fire Safety Certificate, Regularisation Fire Safety Certificate, Disability Access Certificate, Commencement Notice, 7-Day Notice, or Certificate of Compliance on Completion has since been lodged in respect of the Convention Centre, Hotel, Leisure Centre, or any other building on the campus used for residential accommodation;
3. whether any professional compliance reports have been received by the Council in response to the Warning Letter;
4. whether the Council has assessed if any part of the Convention Centre or Leisure Centre has been used, or proposed for use, as sleeping or residential accommodation;
5. whether the Council considers the matters raised in the Warning Letter to be resolved, and if not, what outstanding compliance issues remain;
6. why an FOI response dated 31 March 2026 stated that 'no information was found' while also enclosing and releasing multiple records relating to post-warning-letter correspondence and follow-up action;
7. whether the Council will now publish or provide the relevant BCMS reference numbers for any applications connected to these matters
