In recent days it has been brought to my attention that a member of another party has been suggesting that I support the removal of playing pitches in Malahide Castle Demesne in favour of a car park.
This salacious rumour which is no doubt designed to damage my re election campaign is a complete misrepresentation of my views on this matter.
I suggested during my tenure as Mayor that both St. Sylvesters GAA club and Malahide Chamber of Commerce agree a mutually beneficial approach to the issue of car parking in Malahide and that if agreement could be reached the matter could be brought for further discussion with local Councillors.
This agreement was never reached and the matter never went any further.
