QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor N. Fennell

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the process for which small businesses can rent or buy premises from the council, report to include a list, broken down by LEA, of all premises for commercial use currently in Council stock.

REPLY:

EETD are responsible for a very small number of Council owned units [< 4] that are in commercial use by small businesses. These properties are small-scale commercial units located in the general Clondalkin area. In the event of such a property becoming available, its continued use as a commercial unit is assessed and if appropriate a process is advertised seeking bids from parties seeking to use such properties. The Council have no such properties available for rent or purchase at present.

In the event of small start-up businesses involved in the technology sector are seeking to secure office space, the Council has Work IQ in Tallaght, which supports local entrepreneurs in the County.
