Cameron Hall

A Message from Cork Street & Maryland Residents Association

Cork Street has changed over the last number of years. We now have hundreds of new neighbours living in the new apartments along the street. We are easily the most densely populated section of the Liberties area but we still have no community building.
Many residents living in the area prior to the building of the new apartments will know that we fought long and hard to have a community facility included in the development of Cameron Hall, situated on the corner of Cameron Street and Cork Street. (Lidl is situated on the other corner, about 10 metres away.)
The Community building is now ready for occupation. Some five or six community organisations have now applied to Dublin City Council to take possession of the hall.
If we are to retain the right to occupy the building as agreed with Dublin City Council in 1999, then we must act quickly and decisively.
We need to elect a new committee which is representative of all people now living in the area, and put forward a viable plan for the use of the new facility.
A public meeting open to EVERYONE living along the new Cork Street including those in the Timber Yard apartments, and the residents of Emerald Square, Cork Street Buildings and Maryland will take place at 8pm on Monday 24th August 2009 in Cameron Hall.
This will be a great opportunity to view the above mentioned premises, get to know your neighbours new and old, and contribute your opinions ideas and suggestions. The Residents Association would wish that Cameron Hall will serve the whole community both young and old. We have some ideas, but with would welcome yours. Please come along.
