MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE/FIRHOUSE/BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 12, 2020

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

That the Chief Executive considers, when the Parks Department vacates the depot at Rathfarnham Castle, incorporating the vacant depot as an overflow carpark accessed from the existing carpark in a sympathetic manner without affecting the existing structures, in view of the shortage of car parking spaces in Rathfarnham Village.

REPORT:

A tender process in respect of the proposed uses at Rathfarnham Castle failed to identify a preferred bidder for the opportunity at the castle outbuildings. 

The Council is currently reviewing the process with the consultants with a view to bringing the project back to the market as soon as possible. 

It should be noted that the former depot forms an essential element of the proposed development at Rathfarnham Castle Courtyard and Stables and a report on same will be brought to the AC as soon as possible.
