DDE/182/14 Proposed Disposal of Freehold Interest in Three Plots of Council owned Land in Ballyogan, to Horse Racing Ireland and Leopardstown Race Course, Leopardstown, Co. Dublin The County Development Plan 2010-2016 has a specific local object (No. 87) to provide a car park to link in with Foxrock Village on lands owned by Horse Racing Ireland. In order to achieve this specific local objective the Council commenced discussions with Horse Racing Ireland in relation to the acquisition of a site on which a car park could be constructed. The proposed car park site is located on lands at Foxrock Village and measures circa 4,345.81 square metres as shown outlined in red on Drawing No. PL-14-196. In the course of discussions, Horse Racing Ireland indicated that they would be willing to transfer the proposed site for a car park to the Council, in exchange for the Council disposing of three plots of land at Ballyogan, Co. Dublin to Horse Racing Ireland. Two of these plots, as shown outlined in red on Drawing Nos. PL-14-197 and PL-14-198, form part of residue lands left over after the completion of the South Eastern Motorway Scheme and are no longer required by the Council. The third plot of land as shown outlined in red on Drawing No. PL-14- 199 is part of larger parcel of land acquired from the Holy Ghost Fathers for Housing. Protracted negotiations took place between the Council’s Valuer and a Valuer appointed by Horse Racing Ireland but agreement was not reached as there was a significant difference in the balancing payment which each of the respective valuers considered were due to their client. To progress the matter Council Management met with Horse Racing Ireland and in the interest of the future economy of Foxrock Village, the ongoing deficiencies in relation to car parking in the area and the specific local objective (No. 87) in the County Development Plan 2010-2016, it was agreed in principle that the Council would dispose of the 3 plots of land at Ballyogan, Co. Dublin. The 3 plots of land are shown as outlined in red on Drawing No. PL-14-199 measuring 4,006.32 sq. metres, Drawing No. PL-14-198 measuring 861.80 sq. metres and Drawing No. PL-14-197 measuring 1,580 sq. metres to Horse Racing Ireland, in exchange for the acquisition of a plot of land by the Council measuring circa 4,345.81 sq. metres as shown outlined in red on Drawing No PL-14-196 from Horse Racing Ireland. This proposal is subject to the approval of the Board of Horse Racing Ireland and the Elected Members of the Council. There are services located on two of the plots of the land being disposed of by the Council. In this regard the Council will require wayleaves to be retained as shown highlighted in yellow on Drawing Nos. PL-14-199 and PL-14-197 in order to be able to access services. The other relevant Council Service Departments have no objection to the proposed exchange of lands. Having regard to the decision taken the Chief Valuer has agreed the following terms and conditions: a. That the exchange of lands outlined at paragraph b and c below is on the basis that no compensation is payable by either party. b. That Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council shall dispose of its interest in the 3 plots of land as shown outlined in red on attached drawings; Drawing Nos. PL-14-197, PL- 14-198 and PL-14-199, subject to the retention of wayleaves highlighted in yellow on Drawing Nos. PL-14-197 and PL-14-199 to access services. c. That Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council shall acquire the Freehold Interest or equivalent in the plot of land shown outlined in red on the attached Drawing No. PL- 14-196. d. That Horse Racing Ireland shall retain access to its property, via a right of way over a public roadway to be provided for on part of the lands to be acquired at Foxrock Village (shown coloured yellow) on attached Drawing No. PL-14-196. Note: The Council will not consider granting a right of way through the car park as part of this transaction. e That each party shall be responsible for its own costs in this matter. f. That all outstanding charges, rates and taxes and all other outgoings on the properties are cleared prior to completion of the transaction. g. That no agreement enforceable by law is created or intended to be created until exchange of contracts has taken place. It is proposed to dispose of the Council’s Interest in the 3 plots of land as shown outlined in red on Drawing Nos. PL-14-197, PL-14-198 and PL-14-199 to Horse Racing Ireland subject to the retention of Wayleaves as set out above.

  • The Coronas' First New Album in Three
    For Release on February 18, 2020 THE CORONAS’ FIRST NEW ALBUM IN THREE YEARS “TRUE LOVE WAITS” SET FOR WORLDWIDE RELEASE ON MAY 29 New Video for “Haunted” Single Now Available as Band Plans to Kick Off 2020 U.S. Tour in Chicago on April 11 The Coronas, one of Ireland’s biggest and best-loved bands, are set for the worldwide release of TRUE LOVE WAITS, their first album in three years. The band’s long- awaited sixth album will be available via the band’s SoFarSoGood Records imprint, distributed by Blix Street Records, on May 29, 2020. The Coronas—front man and lead singer Danny O’Reilly, bass guitarist Graham Knox and drummer Conor Egan-- have embarked on 2020 as a three-piece band following the amicable departure of lead guitarist Dave McPhillips at the end of the year and recently rolled out the single “Haunted” as a prelude to the new album. Known for their visually captivating music videos, the latest one for “Haunted,” shot in a seemingly abandoned cabin accessible by trudging through the deep snows of Bulgaria’s winter, is yet another example of the band’s creative vision. This cinematic feast was produced by Luke Murphy and directed by John Broe, who has made several of The Coronas’ videos over the past three years. In this video, as Broe explains, “We see a guy (Graham) who's been alone for a long time, travelling day after day to some location, but we aren't sure why. He may be delusional, he may have magic powers or there may be a presence in the room with him guiding him, but we know there is some link between the powers in the house and the portal that opens on the mountain.

  • “Take a Chance…!”
    For Release on November 23, 2020 “Take a chance…!” THE CORONAS WILL RELEASE DELUXE VERSION OF #1 IRISH CHART ALBUM “TRUE LOVE WAITS” WITH BONUS MATERIAL FOR HOLIDAY SEASON Band’s Annual Holiday Concerts Become A Major Livestream Event from Dublin’s Olympia Theatre on Saturday, December 12 at 8PM GMT Due to Pandemic Shutdown For Ireland’s popular band The Coronas, the holiday season has always meant live concerts in their homeland. For nearly a decade, the band has played a series of shows at Dublin’s historic Olympia Theatre during the lead up to Christmas along with other stops, which, for many have become an integral part of their holiday traditions. Last year, as example, included three SRO shows at the Olympia plus additional concerts in Dublin and other cities, coinciding with that year’s release of THE CORONAS—LIVE AT THE OLYMPIA, recorded during their 2018 holiday run. 2020’s coronavirus pandemic and its resultant furlough of live concerts has forced The Coronas, who have had to endure the misfortune of sharing their name of the virus, to pivot. With Ireland on a new lockdown to control the spread, The Coronas are moving the festivities to everyone’s living rooms, with a full production concert livestreamed from the stage of the Olympia Theatre, this year with Covid-19 safety protocols in place. Called the “Nowhere We’d Rather Stream” show, a play on the name of their pandemic- cancelled “Nowhere We’d Rather Be” festival, the fun begins at 8PM GMT on Saturday, December 12. The show is available to all on a pay-what-what-you-can basis.

  • For Release on January 22, 2021 IRISH SINGER RÓISÍN O
    For Release on January 22, 2021 IRISH SINGER RÓISÍN O RELEASES ‘HEART + BONES’ SINGLE ON JANUARY 22nd IN WAKE OF COVID CRISIS Ireland, like the UK and much of Europe, has been under lockdown on and off for the past year, but for Irish singer Róisín O, it became the impetus for creating new music. Her new single, HEART + BONES. will be released by Blix Street Records on January 22 via all digital platforms. A fresh, new anthem from one of Ireland’s most exciting and talented exports, HEART + BONES is the first of four tracks born from the Covid19 crisis and resultant lockdown that will be included in an upcoming Róisín O EP planned for later this year. Listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/roisinomusic/sets/heart-bones/s-3edwcLmUhCe Co-written with Danny O’Reilly of The Coronas while in isolation in Dingle in southwest Ireland, the song’s powerful lyrics, combined with Róisín O’s undeniable vocal depth, elevates HEART + BONES to something at once intimate and epic. The single, produced by Philip Magee (Kodaline, Wild Youth, The Script, The Academic), soars effortlessly, constantly building, as Róisín O belts out the poignant lyrics in a commanding performance that hooks you from the start. “It’s a song I was supposed to write a very long time ago and never did,” she explains. “It’s a confession, a truth that I’d been suppressing for a long while. It’s the most honest thing I’ve ever written.” Following her 2012 debut album THE SECRET LIFE OF BLUE, Róisín O went on to release a number of successful singles, among them the originals “Better This Way,” “Give It Up” and “Warn Me of Silence” as well as her take on Sia’s “Chandelier,” which received over a million online views.
