    the current halting site is being demolished and houses rebuilt, the caravans have been moved to the new location temporarily as construction takes place. This is supposed to be returned to a field upon construction of the new housing.

    Taken from the above article !!

    The total cost for the contract, which includes the temporary halt site, is €2.1m

    The temporary halt site includes 14 bay areas with small day units containing a shower, toilet and basin. The bays will be connected to sewerage, electricity and water services. Cameras will be placed at the entrance to the temporary halt site to combat unauthorised activity.

    Afterwards, the temporary site will be demolished and all material will be disposed of off-site. The site will then be reinstated as a grass field and Mr Fahy explained that this was part of the contract.

    Because of health and safety considerations, it was decided to accommodate residents on the temporary site rather than proceed with works while they were still on site at St Martin's Park.

    The cost of developing the temporary site is €200,000 but Mr Fahy said the costs for the main part of the development would have been higher if they had tried to keep the residents on-site while work was underway.


    FOR THE TEMPORARY SITE WE ARE PAYING 200,000 AND THIS IS CHEAPER THAN DOING THE WORK IN SAY STAGES!! AND KEEPING THE FAMILIES ON HALF THE DEVELOPING SITE OR WHY NOT MOVE THEM IN TO THE 000'S OF GHOST ESTATES WE HEAR ABOUT THAT NAMA LOOKS AFTER
    AND PEOPLE WONDER WHERE THE CELTIC TIGER MONEY WENT.
