City of Dublin Education and Training Board (CDETB) has been managing a Youthreach centre at the premises in question for a number of years.  The premise was sold by the former landlord last year and the new landlord informed CDETB that it is must vacate the premises by the end of February 2017. CDETB has been actively seeking new premises since last summer with a number of options under consideration.  As yet no decision has been taken in relation to the suitability of any of the premises under consideration.

CDETB has recently succeeded in securing an extension from the landlord on the current premises until the end of April which will provide it with additional time to consider and decide on the most suitable premises for the Youthreach programme for the area.
