    Fingal County Council has voted overwhelmingly to retain the open space zoning on Brickfields at a meeting which took place on Tuesday March 22nd.

    You can view this section of the meeting online by going to:

    The vote was as follows:

    14 councillors voted in favour of removing the proposed nursing objective home from the development plan as follows:

    Cllr. Ciaran Byrne (Labour)
    Cllr. Eugene Coppinger (Socialist Party)
    Cllr. Ruth Coppinger (Socialist Party)
    Cllr. Peter Coyle (Labour Party)
    Cllr. Kieran Dennison (Fine Gael)
    Cllr. Ken Farrell (Labour)
    Cllr. Peggy Hamill (Labour)
    Cllr. Anthony Lavin (Fine Gael)
    Cllr. Eithne Loftus (Fine Gael)
    Cllr. Joan Maher (Fine Gael)
    Cllr. Patrick Nulty (Labour)
    Cllr. Cian O’Callaghan (Labour)
    Cllr. Michael O’Donovan (Labour)
    Cllr. Matt Waine (Socialist Party)

    6 councillors voted to keep the nursing home objective in the development plan:
    Cllr. Darragh Butler (Fianna Fáil)
    Cllr. Mags Murray (Fianna Fáil)
    Cllr. David McGuiness (Fianna Fáil)
    Cllr. May McKeown (Independent)
    Cllr. Eoghan O’Brien (Fianna Fáil)
    Cllr. David O’Connor (Independent)

    One Councillor abstained: Cllr. Anne Devitt (Fine Gael)

    Three councillors were absent: Cllr. Tom Kelleher (Labour), Cllr. Gerry McGuire (Labour) and Cllr. Tom O’Leary (Fine Gael).

    The proposed nursing home objective is now defeated conclusively. The lands at Brickfields remain zoned as Open Space and no development except for amenities can take place on these lands.

    Please accept my sincere apologies about the out of date information circulated on my behalf in the development plan leaflet on Friday and Saturday in Baldoyle. This leaflet was printed some time ago and given to a commercial distribution company for delivery. It was intended that it should have been delivered several weeks ago. The rest of the information in the leaflet is accurate and up to date.
