Marist Order must engage with DCC on future of Parnells
Labour’s Dublin Bay North candidate, Shane Folan, has called on the Marist Order to engage with Dublin City Council to ensure that the former Parnells GAA Clubhouse and pitches are retained for community use.
Shane Folan said:
“Following the surrender of the clubhouse and pitches at Parnells GAA Club, it is vital that these amenities remain accessible to the local community.
”The facilities at Parnells GAA are an important part of the local area. The pitches, clubhouse, and even the bar and carvery provide vital spaces for sports, social activities, and family gatherings. They foster community spirit and supporting families.
“Many families have benefitted from the Parnells facilities, and it’s essential that we preserve and maximise their use. A vision is needed for the future of this space that keeps community needs at its heart. Local clubs and amenities are essential to building healthy, connected communities. It’s time for proactive measures to ensure public assets remain in public hands.
“I‘m calling on the Marist Order to engage with Dublin City Council to agree on a plan that secures the future of the Parnells facilities for public good.”
