COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

MOTION NO.29

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That South Dublin County Council actively seeks to purchase Airlie House in Adamstown SDZ, recently listed for sale at a guide price of €450k, so as to secure this historic property for longer term community benefit and also potential recoupment of costs, especially given that there has been no further progress in the purchase of the Old School Master's House; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

The purchase of Airlie House has not been provided for in the Three Year Capital Programme.  The Council are already advancing the acquisition and development of properties in the Lucan Area including the School Masters House and Lucan House. Community facilities for the area are being delivered in line with the requirements of the SDZ, as such there are no plans to acquire Airlie House for the purposes of developing community facilities.
