MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager if he would arrange to meet with the Receiver appointed to Finnstown House Hotel to seek to reverse the decision to close the pedestrian access between Adamstown and the Hotel which I understand was closed due to uncertainty relating to concerns over the possible creation of a right-of-way?

REPLY:

The provision of access to Finnstown House is not a requirement of the Adamstown SDZ Planning Scheme.  Castlethorn Construction and the management of Finnstown House entered into a private arrangement in relation to providing direct access from Adamstown to Finnstown House in 2009.   Whilst this is acceptable in principle to SDCC as the Planning Authority and Adamstown Development Agency as a facility for the residents of Adamstown, the issue of right-of-way is a private legal matter.
