QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the following projects;

- Dublin Mountains Visitor Centre;

- Rathfarnham Castle Outbuildings;

- Templeogue House."

REPLY:

Dublin Mountains Visitor Centre - Following on from the Oral Hearing that was held in Novebmer 2018, An Bord Pleánala issued another further information request.  A response to this request is to be issued to no later than 7th February 2020.  

Rathfarnham Castle Outbuildings - As members are aware the tender process in respect of the proposed uses at Rathfarham Castle failed to identlfy a preferred bidder for the opportunity at the Castle Outbuildings.  We are currently reviewing the process with the consultants with a view to bringing the project back to the market as soon as possible.  Any proposed development will, of course, be the subject of a Part 8 planning process.

Templeogue House - Discussions are ongoing between the Council's Law Agent and the legal representatives of the interested parties. Once these have concluded we will be in  position to provide a more detailed  update to the members.
