Finglas Village has been a particular focus of the Area Committee for some time. With the collapse of Marumba and the recent sale of most of the village to a Wexford property buyer, the ramifications are evolving. It is a few weeks since there was a meeting with Finglas Traders in the Ardmore Hotel to discuss ways of regenerating and repopulating the village. Footfall is an important consideration for the survival of small businesses. Only earlier this month, Michael Bowe of the Tolka Area Partnership informed us that a person was employed for a period to support the traders in their efforts to plan a better future.
We are hoping the Superquinn will be developed.
