Sinn Féin councillors have lodged an Emergency Motion calling on Dublin City Council's Chief Executive to fully engage with elected members before any decisions are made on the future of Wood Quay and the proposed Camden Yard development.

Sinn Féin Group Leader on Dublin City Council, Cllr. Daithí Doolan, said: "Sinn Féin councillors have tabled an Emergency Motion for Monday’s Dublin City Council meeting. We are demanding that the City Council’s Chief Executive fully engages with city councillors before any decision is made on the future of Wood Quay and the Camden Yard development.

"Sinn Féin are deeply concerned about how this whole matter has been handled.

"We most certainly welcome plans for more public housing in the city centre and any decision on these two sites should be about maximising public housing delivery, as well as enhanced services for citizens and value for money.

"This could be a very positive development for Dublin. But city councillors cannot be kept in the dark on these important matters.

"The drip, drip release of information to the media is wholly unacceptable. Also, selective briefings of certain parties only fuel the confusion.

"Looking to the future, a repeat of this exclusion and confusion must be avoided.

"Sinn Féin wants a commitment from the Chief Executive that all city councillors will be kept fully updated and fully informed before any future decisions of this nature are made again."
