Council’s park sale breached guidelines
The council completed the sale of a 0.44-acre site at the park for €1.57 million to Reidy Civil Engineering earlier this year having agreed on a sale in 2002 at a time the council did not even own the site.
The sale was not put out to public tender and a slightly larger adjoining site raised e2.85m when it was sold to another developer on the open market.
