COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

"That this committee supports the owners/occupiers of units in Cherry Orchard Industrial Estate in their efforts to bring the estate to an acceptable standard and requests that South Dublin County Council provide whatever assistance it can, particularly with regard to the estate being taken into charge?"

REPLY: 

Local Enterprise Office (LEO) staff have already engaged with representatives from Cherry Orchard Industrial Estate on a preliminary basis with a view to supporting the works required to bring the estate to a standard that will enable it to take it in charge.   Support may be provided under the Council’s Business Support Fund Area Improvement Scheme which is intended to improve the appearance and investment potential of industrial areas in the County.

If a formal project proposal is received and subsequently approved under the Area Improvement Scheme, the Council’s taking in charge section will inspect and monitor the works once they are up and running to ensure that standard is achieved.
