COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, October 18, 2017

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"This committee resolves that the Community Space which was designated for community use when the apartments on Orchard Road were built and which has lain empty in the years since then would be allocated without delay to the Clondalkin men's shed.  The Men's Shed have agreed to facilitate the use of this space by other community groups such as active retired and meals on wheels.  The ongoing stalemate in relation to this space makes a mockery of the practice of designating spaces for community use and this must be addressed." 

REPORT:

The Community Department's latest update regarding this issue has been that South Dublin County Council's Law Department wrote to McCann Fitzgerald Solicitors on the 2nd of August 2017 submitting a number of legal documents for review and requesting a meeting about the Orchard Road premises.  We have not had an update since but we have requested one from our Law Department and will keep Councillors up to date with further developments.
