1. Indefinite retention of prefabricated building (7.95M x 6.12M x 3.485M to ridge) used for club meetings. 2. Construction of Steel Machinery Store (12.3M x 6.1M x 3.9M to ridge) to be used temporarily as a S&C Gym for Abbeyside / Ballinacourty Club members. ** The shed will be used as a club gym only on a temporary basis until such time as long term, permanent club development proposals can be realis3ed. The club development group are actively looking at options for development. The ambition to provide needed improved club facilities is inhibited as the only existing vehicular access is onto the N25 route. Attempts to secure access onto local roads, has not been achieved to date. The gym use, which is essential for players and team building, will have to continue until such time as alternative permanent facilities are provided. On that basis, it is not possible to put a date or timeline for continued gym use but the shed will revert to a machinery store once better and permanent facilities are available.
