| What's planned for there? The petition doesn't mention anything and I can't find any planning permission lodged on the SDCC website |

| Signed it. It's a joke to be using the space in Ballycullen for more houses |

A better idea is surely to assist each and every parent and player with making submissions to the local authority objecting to it. A petition doesn't count for much - observations to the planning authority count for a lot more. -------------

Honest question. Assume this is council owned land? Do kbockyon own their original grounds at delaford? The housing situation in in the city is at breaking point, so would like to know more. ------------- My destination inchicore my next stop being kilmainham Where patriots and super saints are the topics of conversation |

Maybe they could go after Ballybodens pitches directly across the road. I’d doubt it.... ------------- PM me for all forum moderation queries. |

Signed and no doubt Shane Ross won't be any where to be seen. Are they talking CPO or do they own the land. Seems strange as they fave planning for the club house. Given the amount of housing already been built, you would imagine all the more important to have the club for the kids. Is the land by firehouse community centre available for pitches ? ------------- I know nothing :-) |

Must open my eyes driving by lol I remember a demo outside the new school on Schilarstown road before it opened got great publicity, caused massive traffic chaps for the morning, but got huge publicity. Maybe need to get all the kids in their kits standing in single file on either side of the road with signs save out club some morning, and let the parents keep crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing, will piss off some people but get great media coverage which is the only thing most politicians care about. 200 kids either side would stretch out a long way.

| Done. Although I don’t live there anymore I grew up in the area and the club was a big part of our community. This could be it’s undoing which would be terrible 😢😢😢 |

not signing the petition, cause 500 clicks will do nothing. The above from SD and also a very public protest will go a lot further in helping to save the pitches. If you really want to save the pitches, find out who the builders are who the developers are and who all the politicians are, if you can find anything remotely linking either then you can create a dirty piece of pr, whether it's true or not doesn't matter  ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught!

Do the club have a leasehold interest in the land? What terms were they granted use of the land? The population of the city is heading for two million in 20 years. We also need places to live. SGB presumably you would be happy to live in the area? Would more affordable housing supply have helped? Can the council provide alternatives that are suitable? Can the coucil land that ballyboden use be shared?? ------------- My destination inchicore my next stop being kilmainham Where patriots and super saints are the topics of conversation |

There are lots of houses been built all around there and note sporting amenities badly needed. What I would like to know is why were the club given planning to build a clubhouse of houses were planned for the site? Cosgrave's house on the Scholarstown Road opp the school is going to be built on also, If there are not adequate sports facilities it will be very hard to keep kids interested in sport and on the straight and narrow so to speak growing up.

Can year round floodlit and all weather pitches be provided on a smaller footprint? Perhaps jointly for the gaa club? The answer to the housing crisis is not further urban sprawl. Apartments of six or seven stories minimum inside the canals and less dense mixed in the suburbs. The days of the commuter belt have to end and the people need to be flexible when there are competing demands ------------- My destination inchicore my next stop being kilmainham Where patriots and super saints are the topics of conversation |

Same happened up in Raheny earlier this year. Planning application for 360 housing units on school pitches. People objected to it on the grounds that it was an amenity (a pitch with a massive fence all around that only the school could use), and now the application has being denied. 360 more families without a home. I'm not familiar with the Knocklyon application, is there anything logged at all, it's not on SDCC website.

In thos case its a field with two grass pitches and some surrounding land in a space that is open tp the public. There has never been a more important need for joined up thinking and to me highlights why metrolink, bus connects and dart expansion to hazelhatch, maynooth and drogheda are no longer nice to haves, bit essential if the city is to sustain growth. ------------- My destination inchicore my next stop being kilmainham Where patriots and super saints are the topics of conversation |

Were all the houses being built to rehouse homeless families?

Probably needs to be double that ,definitely when you get in more centrally. A proper mix of residential/commercial in large modern buildings close to transport links are badly needed.
