Legal advice obtained by rugby club that uses ground says parish cannot proceed with sale to GAA club
Legal advice obtained by rugby club that uses ground says parish cannot proceed with sale to Geraldines P Moran GAA club
The five-acre site is conservatively estimated to be worth €10.5 million if rezoned for residential use from its current recreational status. Dunnes Stores, which has had a long-standing interest in acquiring the fields, sold a nearby site of the same size for a reported €32 million in 2018. One letter this week gave notice that their use of the pitches was being terminated. This was followed, the club says, by another legal letter saying the termination could be avoided if the rugby club signed a disputed legal letter “and agreed to everything the GAA club wants”.
“The understanding we were given was that the access you would be given would be exactly as it had been,” he said. However, a schedule to the document says the rugby club would have to remove its signage, equipment and goals “on completion of their allocated time slot” which runs counter to the terms of their current access.
