The land is next to the LDA’s Clongriffin/ Cluain Ghrífín land which means the Agency now has the potential to deliver over 4,000 new affordable homes in the area surrounding Clongriffin Station The Baldoyle development comprises 18 hectares of land with permission granted for delivery of permanent access to the train station transport facilities and other public infrastructure works to enhance community amenities It was part of the former ‘The Coast’ housing development The site is located east of Clongriffin Station and near to existing housing in Stapolin and Baldoyle It is bounded by the Dublin to Belfast railway line to the west Fingal County Council (FCC) parklands to the north and the planned Racecourse Park to the northeast The neighbouring Clongriffin/ Cluain Ghrífín land has the potential to deliver over 2,000 homes Work has already commenced on a first phase involving 408 homes which will be delivered in two apartment blocks The acquisition of both sites means the LDA is well-positioned to oversee the delivery of over 4,000 new homes in the area in addition to services The LDA is working closely with both Dublin City Council (DCC) Fingal County Council (FCC) and other local stakeholders and community representatives to coordinate an integrated approach for the area which includes land owned by both Local Authorities Chief Executive of the Land Development Agency said: “The purchase of this land is a major strategic accomplishment for the LDA We now own two neighbouring sites in the area surrounding Clongriffin railway station and we are positioned to deliver over 4,000 affordable homes in addition to new facilities We intend to work closely with the existing communities in this area and with stakeholders to ensure that in addition to delivering housing we also build on the existing plans for Clongriffin and Baldoyle to create vibrant and sustainable new neighbourhoods “The sites we have purchased have been earmarked for development for some time but projects either stalled or did not get underway The LDA is well-funded and in a position to maximise the potential of these sites and The LDA is already delivering homes on state-owned land and through homebuilder partnerships To speed up housing delivery and to strengthen our development pipeline we announced our intention to also purchase privately-owned sites with planning permission in 2023 and we expect to announce more acquisitions soon providing we can complete them at the right price We are focussing on sites with the potential for a significant number of homes and the opportunity to develop new and vibrant communities The LDA is now a key player in the development of both the Clongriffin and Baldoyle areas and I look forward to construction getting underway.” In developing the LDA-owned land in Clongfriffin and Baldoyle the Agency will examine and work to support existing plans for the area and ensure they are incorporated into its designs This includes the Dart+ scheme and FCC’s plans for Racecourse Park The LDA has been working work closely with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and FCC to address the issues relating to the lack of development on the sites now owned by the LDA This collaboration will continue for the duration of the project community groups and other stakeholders is a priority and will be a fundamental element of the project as it progresses will upgrade and improve the security of the existing access route to Clongriffin station as an interim solution Assistant Director – Transport Investment at NTA added: “NTA welcomes the significant progress of the acquisition of these lands by the LDA The development of these lands around a key transport node with high quality bus and rail connections is very positive and will make it easier for people living there to get about truly delivering transit-oriented development “NTA remains committed to addressing the issues with the temporary access arrangements in the area and looks forward to working in close collaboration with the LDA and Fingal County Council in delivering permanent safe and accessible access across the railway line and to public transport services in the area.” The Baldoyle site will also provide crucial connectivity to the FFC’s planned Racecourse Park development to the northeast which will link the area to the coast.” Chief Executive of Fingal County Council said: “The Baldoyle-Stapolin Local Area Plan had an ambitious vision for this area which can now be realised with the purchase of these lands It means that the issues at Clongriffin Railway Station which have exercised our local councillors and the local community for several years can be resolved through the involvement of the NTA “The Council is also finally in a position to develop a new regional amenity at Racecourse Park which will complement the soon to be completed Baldoyle Community Centre the activation of the planning permission to build over 1,900 new affordable homes in this area alongside a creche and commercial units is also welcome.” Follow Irish building magazine on LinkedIn for the latest news and updates 1) 0ms,border-color 250ms cubic-bezier(0.4 1)

along the Coast Road in Baldoyle DNA and other key forensic evidence was later recovered from the vehicle which was found abandoned nearby at Willie Nolan Road investigators ­arrested an 18-year-old who is believed to be a central member of a car-theft gang causing havoc across Leinster Key member of ‘Lucky Dip’ gang arrested over hit-and-run in north Dublin is suspected of being the driver of the car involved in the fatal hit-and-run He is being held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 and can be detained for up to 24 hours Sources last night described the young criminal as a “recidivist offender” who has been linked to car thefts across the capital The arrested teenager is a central member of the so-called ‘Lucky Dip’ gang made up of juveniles and teenage males mainly from the Ballyfermot are currently in custody in relation to separate garda investigations into their crime wave Gardaí have named them the ‘Lucky Dip’ gang after obtaining key intelligence that they randomly pick targets in Leinster towns on an almost nightly basis using the Google Maps app A source previously said: “The ‘Lucky Dip’ gang randomly pick a location on the app usually within the wider Dublin area or within Dublin itself and then utilise the motorway network to ­travel to the location “They are a disorganised bunch in terms of criminality – this is not an organised crime gang who are stealing cars for order – they are doing it for the craic the gang members attempt to steal any car they can or steal anything from any unlocked vehicles The ‘Lucky Dip’ gang is suspected of stealing dozens of cars in the last year which they mainly use for joyriding rather than resale The car linked to the death of Mr Farrelly was stolen from a house in north Dublin in the hours before he was knocked down It is believed the owner of the car was sleeping when gardaí arrived at the property in relation to the crash and was completely unaware that her car had been taken hours earlier in what was described as a creeper burglary the car was involved in an “interaction” with gardaí in which it failed to stop for officers who had seen it driving erratically shortly before the fatal

Baldoyle A male pedestrian killed in a hit-and-run incident in north Dublin last summer had to be identified through DNA profiling due to the extent of his injuries Michael ‘Mikey’ Farrelly (40) was killed when he was struck by a stolen vehicle on Coast Road The driver of the vehicle and his passenger who are suspected of being members of the so-called ‘Lucky Dip’ criminal gang – a loose network of around 60 teenagers based in Ballyfermot Inchicore and Blanchardstown who specialise in car theft – failed to remain at the scene The gang has been so-named because they are understood to pick targets to burgle at random on Google Maps At the opening of the inquest into Mr Farrelly’s death at Dublin District Coroner’s Court on Monday evidence was heard that Forensic Science Ireland had to carry out DNA testing to confirm the deceased’s identity said a blood sample had been obtained from the victim’s body and compared with one taken from his father Ms McGovern said DNA profiling of both samples showed the likelihood that the victim was the biological son of Mr Farrelly was 7.2 million times more likely than him being an unknown She claimed such evidence provided “extremely strong support” that the two men were related Detective Inspector Donncha Maguire applied for an adjournment of the inquest under Section 25 (1) of the Coroners Act on the basis that criminal proceedings are being considered Det Insp Maguire said the adjournment was required to facilitate progress of the Garda investigation into Mr Farrelly’s death that there was one particular line of inquiry which was delaying the submission of a file on the investigation to the DPP Dr Keane told the hearing – which was attended by a number of relatives of Mr Farrelly Conor – that the results of a postmortem showed the deceased had died from “polytrauma” Offering her condolences to Mr Farrelly’s family the coroner granted the application for an adjournment and listed the case for further mention on October 6 Mr

of car thefts caused by a network of teenage joyriders “At least one of the people in the car was actually on bail and under curfew at the time the accident happened He added: “It makes you think that we have no proper solution to deal with people who can go out and steal a car and then they walk straight out the back door including the suspected ringleader of the ‘Lucky Dip’ criminal gang were arrested over the fatal crash but later released without charge whom gardaí believe was a passenger in the stolen vehicle involved in Mr Farrelly’s death It is understood a file about his role in the
