COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Thursday, June 23, 2016

MOTION NO. 24

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"Further to Fingal County Council procurement of Shackleton Mills that the Chief Executive actively engages with Fingal County Council considering this property proximity to Lucan village to ensure all relevant stakeholders are consulted in any future developments ensuring a positive outcome."

REPORT:

"The location of Shackleton Mills means that a key factor in the commercial viability of any future proposals for its use will be local patronage from Lucan and Palmerstown villages.  Therefore, it would be expected that appropriate consultation carried out by Fingal County Council with the relevant stakeholders will form a key part of any developing such proposals. 

The collaborative relationship that has been established between the tourism functions in this Council and Fingal County Council, including the pending commissioning of the Liffey Blueway Study, will continue to be developed and it is envisaged that this will include appropriate information sharing of plans of mutual interest, including those for Shackleton Mills.  The local Elected Members will also be kept updated on developments accordingly."
