MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 23, 2025

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"Can the Manager report on the plan for shops that are closed in the following areas, Glenshane and Kilmartin, Fettercairn, Are the premises belong to the council if so can they be used for social housing?"

REPLY:

The Council is the owner of the former shops at Glenshane, Kilcarrig & Kilclare. The intention is for the properties to be assessed for potential future housing development by the Council. The properties will need to be assessed by the Architectural Services Department, looking at the requirements of the Housing Department, to assess their suitability and for how the sites could best be developed. The Members will be kept informed by the Housing Department of future plans, and any redevelopment may require Part 8 approval by the Members.

It is not the intention of the Council to have the shops re-opened as shops.
