COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 28, 2017

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive if contact has been made with residents of Airlie Heights following the recent facilitated meeting in relation to development of an all weather pitch in the Estate, noting that a number of issues remained outstanding following the said meeting to be addressed by this Council; and in the event that no contact has been made to ask when this will be done and if there is anything currently preventing the Chief Executive from addressing the outstanding issues required to progress matters on behalf of all parties?"

REPLY: 

Members are aware of protracted deliberations pertaining to the SCG 2015 between Lucan Utd and Airlie Heights.

It should be noted that while there has been suggestions of close liaison between SDCC and Lucan Utd, any such liaison to date was undertaken solely to determine potential outcomes to the issues raised.

Responses to outstanding queries have recently been circulated, and arrangements for a second facilitated meeting are currently being made.

Arrangements will then be made to initiate proceedings that can faciliate commencement of the development, bearing in mind the stipulation in approval from DTTS that the club must have completed a substantial amount of progress on the project to facilitate the drawdown of the grant by 31st October 2017.
