Specific Details Mark Fay (Board) & Ann Murphy (Gen. Mgr) contacted Paschal O’Donohue TD and Ray McAdam Dublin County Councillor regarding space for our early years childcare service. We discussed the possibility of using the vacant CTC building on Sheriff Street which has been vacant since January 2020. The building would enable us to reduce our ever increasing waiting list for local childcare places. Our Board is in contact with other local services to explore collaborations for use of the CTC building.

Intended results Our hope is to secure use of vacant CTC building in Sheriff Street for early years provision
