SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, March 26, 2024
QUESTION NO.21
QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty
To ask the Chief Executive to explain why SDCC created and commenced a Part 8 consultation on the 12th Lock Masterplan on the 7th of March last, incorporating a previously unheard of film studio proposal which appears to undermine a wider water-based heritage and community facility, without first bringing the proposal to this Area Committee or the full Council; and if a statement can be made on the matter.
REPLY:
The progression of the Economic Masterplan for 12th Lock involved detailed engagement with the business sector across the County and identified a need for a facility of this scale and type. Updates on the project have been provided to the EETD SPC and the Council over the course of the Masterplan preparation. Further developments at the location will provide for water based and community activities in particular as part of the Grange Cottage developments.
A full briefing on the 12th Lock Masterplan Part 8 Proposals is listed as a Headed Item under Economic Development business today.
