At a meeting of the Lucan Area Committee meeting in November 2015, the members agreed that a further report on site development options in accordance with the sentiments of the members would be considered at a meeting of the Organisation, Procedure & Finance Committee in 2016.  A report is currently being prepared with proposed alternative options for this site.

The Council can confirm that this site has been cleaned, cleared and secured from the ground up. Investigations have not been carried out to identify sub-surface tanks / conditions at this time.
