COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, February 16, 2022

QUESTION NO. 15

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask the Chief Executive for a report into the RIC Barracks [Recorded Protected Structure] and to ask (as it continues to fall into dereliction and decay and is now a disgraceful eyesore  on Old Nangor Road) what will South Dublin County Council do to make this building more acceptable?

REPLY:

A number of detailed, replies, reports and updates have been provided to date to Clondalkin ACM by the Council's Architectural Conservation Officer and Planning Enforcement Section. As you may already know several attempts to serve notices on the owner or gain authorised access to the property to facilitate a proper inspection by the Enforcement Section, Planning and Environmental Services, Derelict Sites have been exhausted as the owner is in absentia.

The property remains in private ownership and therefore it is not the remit of the local authority to determine a use for the property or to carry out any works.
