McGuinness Welcomes Confirmation on Tyrrelstown Youth Services Future

Councillor David McGunness has welcomed the confirmation that Tyrrelstown Youth Services and Fingal County Council have agreed to move youth service provision from a retail unit the town centre to the new Tyrrelstown Community Centre in 3 weeks time.

“The future of the Tyrrelstown Youth Service has been secured through quick, committed, negotiations between the council, the
Management of the centre and Blanchardstown Youth Services. An emergency rose 2 weeks ago when the youth service was informed they had 4 weeks to vacate their unit in a vacant unit in Tyrrelstown Shopping Centre,” said McGuinness.

“However, I immediately set about contacting all involved parties and stressed the need to find a longer term solution to this issue. Blanchardstown youth Service, Fingal County Council and County Dublin VEC have simply been fantastic and are a credit to themselves in the effort they have shown over recent weeks,” added McGuinness.

McGuinness concludes, “The management of the new Community Facility in Tyrrelstown has now established itself as an efficient and caring body who has put the needs of the community to the fore on this issue. This is a good news story for Tyrrelstown with the youth services entering the community facility in 3-weeks time.”
