QUESTION NO.
QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor
"To ask the CEO to note that the completed works at Tallaght Stadium have been warmly welcomed and will he now confirm what plans are in place for the use of the units adjacent to the new Shamrock Rovers Club shop; will he give details and make a statement?"
REPLY:
It is intended to place an advertisement during April, 2024, seeking Expressions of Interest from entities to operate the vacant unit within the undercroft of the North Stand, at Tallaght Stadium. The unit is circa 278sq m and is finished to shell and core only, so any potential tenant will be required to fit out the unit to their requirements, subject to the agreement of the Council. It is anticipated that the Expression of Interest will require details of the following from any prospective tenant;
- Previous/Current Experience, including Manpower and Skills (i.e. experience in successfully operating a space of this size & demonstrate capacity to manage/operate such a facility)
- Financial Proposal/Cost Plan (the applicant must outline levels of capital investment on the part of the applicant and a proposed rental proposition and detailed Business Plan)
- Community Gain (i.e. positive contribution to the local community)
- Vibrancy & Vitality (i.e. applicants must demonstrate that the proposed use will make an active contribution to the area/streetscape in terms of activity, footfall/patronage)
The successful entity will have to agree full terms and conditions with the Council and any agreed Lease proposal will be subject to S.183 of the Local Government Act.
Any entity taking on the space will be obligated to comply with any planning requirements.
