My first question at Septembers MD meeting; “Can the council outline the options for moving forward with the Compulsory Purchase Order of O Modhrain Hall that it had originally initiated, in light of the incomplete status of the sale of O Modhrain Hall?

Report issued by: Mr L Dunne, Senior Executive officer, Environment & Water Section; “The Environment Department has received correspondence from the Charities Regulator which states that the Charities Regulatory Authority authorised the sale in January 2018.

This was subject to the proceeds of sale being transferred to the Authority’s account, pending determination on registration of the trust and the ultimate application of the proceeds.

The Environment Department is also in correspondence with the vendor’s solicitor. The council is mindful of the requirements of the derelict status of the building and continues to monitor developments in this regard.

The members will be kept informed of progress.
