SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor M. McDonagh

To ask the Manager to provide the terms of licence agreement (or lease agreement) between South Dublin County Council and Community Workspace Limited for the use of the Áras Rualach premises on the Neilstown Road, Clondalkin?

REPLY:

The Council entered into an agreement with the North Clondalkin Community Development Programme Ltd (now known as Community Workspace Ltd ) in 1997 whereby the Council made a site at Neilstown Road available for the construction of a Community Resource Centre.  On completion of the centre, the above Company was to be granted a Licence to manage the Centre and the terms of the licence were approved by Manager’s Orders LA/144/97 and LA/187/2000 which have been forwarded to the Councillor previously. 

A number of draft licences and correspondence passed between the Council’s Solicitor and the Licensee's Solicitor at the time but it is not clear if the Licence Agreement was finalised. The Council’s Law Department has been requested to clarify the current position on the file.
