MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor M. Genockey

"To ask the Chief Executive what the Council's plans are for the Mill chimney and rag store in Saggart, from a heritage perspective?"  

REPLY:

"The Rag Store, Mill Chimney and single-storey mill building are Protected Structures (RPS Ref. 330) and are located within the former Swiftbrook Mills. The Rag store is currently in residential use at first and second floor level and the incubator units at ground floor level are currently unoccupied. A pre-planning meeting took place late last year with regard to revising the layout of the ground floor to allow a more adaptive use. The Mill Chimney and single-storey mill building were restored during 2014 and the necessary conservation work completed which was partially funded under the Built Heritage Investment Scheme. The existing Chimney and single-storey building although located in open space, they have not been taken in charge and therefore remain in private ownership and the responsibility of the owner."
