MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 27, 2021

QUESTION NO. 18

QUESTION: Councillor M. Johansson

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the possible development of the Lock Keeper's Cottage on the canal and if funding has been approved by Waterways Ireland for this project?

REPLY:

Engagement with all relevant stakeholders has increased over the last couple of months as AGS have conducted a campaign to deal with the issues of criminality and anti-social behaviour along the Grand Canal. The development of the Lock Keeper's Cottage remains part of the discussion and Waterways Ireland are committed to examining its restoration and future use. It is intended to secure it in the short term to allow feasibility studies to be carried out and also to prevent its use for undesirable purposes.
