MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE/FIRHOUSE/BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

QUESTION NO 2.

QUESTION: Councillor Mary Seery-Kearney

To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update in relation to the outbuildings at Rathfarnham Castle please.

REPLY:

The previous tender process in respect of the proposed uses at the Castle Stables and Courtyard at Rathfarnham failed to identify a preferred bidder.  The Council is currently reviewing the process with the consultants with a view to bringing the project back to the market by late Q3, 2019. In this regard, an agent was engaged in August 2019 to undertake marketing and negotiation of lease for the project. Members will be kept informed of progress.

Any proposed development will be the subject of a Part 8 planning process.
