QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask for an update on SDCC owned property upstairs in Bawnogue shops (Where the Michael O'Mara group worked out of previously) - could this be used for a community group/s such as Bawnogue Men's Shed etc and what is the value of the property?"

REPLY:

A request was sent to the local community team last year from Housing to investigate if any local community groups would be interested to use the unit. The local community was consulted and the unit was examined. No Community Groups in the local area were identified to need the unit and due to the current condition of the unit, its relative small size and because it is located upstairs it was deemed that it was not suited for community use.

The Bawnogue Men's Shed are located within the Bawnogue Community Centre. The group have not approached the community team to request any alternative premises and by all accounts the group are very happy with their current location in the Community Centre.
