QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Chief Executive for an up to date report on the unauthorised encampment at the Old Scoil Oscair site and if he is aware of reported burning of toxic material in the vicinity and what efforts have been made to date to help the families to relocate to a suitable serviced site and will he make a statement on the situation.

REPLY:

The Council has issued legal proceedings in respect of the unlawful occupation of Council lands known as the 'The Old School Site', Balgaddy, Lucan. The matter is now sub judice and will be listed before the courts in October 2019. The Council is therefore prohibited from discussing the case publically and will be making no further comment at this time.
