MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That this Council examine the feasibility of acquiring the former Mills and other buildings/lands at Mill Lane Palmerstown."

REPORT:

The following report was noted at the June Meeting of the Committee.

"The property at Mill Lane, Palmerstown is for sale at present and the Council's Valuer has been instructed in this regard. Discussions are ongoing between the Valuer and the Agent for the owners of the Sun Chemical Properties and a proposed exchange of lands is one possibility which has been put forward and which is under consideration by the parties.

The acquisition of land by the Council requires the identification of and access to the required  resources.

A letter has also issued to the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government"

The negotiations referred to above were promised on a possible exchange of lands but no agreement was reached and the negotiations terminated.  The Council has not got the financial resources to acquire this land as a straight acquisition.
