QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO to confirm what plans are in place for the future use of the community space at the soon to be completed Age Friendly development at Maplewood Heights, Springfield Estate, Tallaght; will he state when the building works will be completed and make a statement?"

REPLY:

The age friendly developments in Maplewood and Fernwood are due to be completed in August and November 2023 respectively. The communal space in Maplewood, will be the office base for the Clann (Clúid’s age friendly management team) scheme manager. It contains a manager’s office, meeting room, bathrooms and community room. The scheme manager will be based there during working hours on various days between Monday – Friday. The community room will be used by Clann to organise events for residents, such as coffee mornings, book clubs etc. Whilst the facility will mainly be for the use of residents in Fernwood Green and Maplewood Heights, if other local residents’ groups wish to make use of the space this can be arranged through Clann's scheme manager.
