MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

QUESTION NO. 10.

QUESTION: Councillor M. Corr

To ask the Manager to check the feasability of providing additional badly needed high-quality open space in the McUlliam estate on the land currently set aside for future housing projects which, now seem very unlikely to proceed given the present economic downturn, in order that children who are currently resident in the estate can enjoy the same benefits of phasing of facilities that have been provided in areas such as Adamstown and presently in land rezoned at Garter Lane?

REPLY:

The Council's Architectural Services Department report that an area of open space has been identified in conjunction with the residents of the area that will be prepared for use as open space for the residents of Mc Ulliam.

Some work has to be carried out to bring the ground up to the standard required.  The work has been costed and funding has been identified which will allow for this preparatory work to be carried out.  It is expected that this work will be carried out and that the new open space area will be ready in a matter of weeks.

In the meanwhile, the Council is reviewing the options open to it with regard to the land set aside.
