The Deputy will be aware, that the Chief State Solicitor's Office have advised my Department that they recently forwarded a draft lease in relation to the former Greendale Community School Campus including the sports hall facility to the solicitors acting for the City of Dublin VEC. The Deputy might note that before this lease is agreed, it is intended to draw up a side agreement in relation to the activities of the club. The VEC have been requested to interact with the club on this matter.

The Deputy can be assured that it is not the intention of this Department to remove the club from using the sports facility or restrict the club's access to the facility for its members. However, it is the Department's view that any other groups currently utilising the facility or groups who may wish to avail of this asset with or without the consent of the club should be dealing directly with the VEC in relation to future on-going use of these premises.
