Residents Living Near Páirc Ui Chaoimh Calling For More Communication From GAA And City Council In Relation To Upcoming Events
The call from the Ballintemple Area Residents Association (BARA) comes, as it has been revealed that plans are being discussed for up to seven concerts at Páirc Ui Chaoimh in 2022, which would attract an estimated 280,000 people to the venue
The residents have expressed concern that the GAA wants to use part of the Marina Park for parking for cars and buses.
BARA says there are several brownfield sites along the Marina that could be used for parking instead.
Speaking to RedFM News, Colm O'Leary from BARA says their concern, at the moment, is in relation to car park facilities:
"We welcome concerts in the area, as long as there's a full consultation with us prior to those concerts, in the planning phase. Our major concern at the moment is with the Páirc Ui Chaoimh Development Plan to expand car parking facilities into the Marina Park. What we want to see is the realisation of the Marina Park Development Plan, and we don't want parts of it turned into an unrequired carpark."
