  2. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor T. Healy:
    “To discuss the full report we received at the main meeting in November regarding land in Grange owned by Sligo County Council.  As the report stated “the topography of this land will render any development very costly, this will need to be considered in any decision making process including compliance with public spending code.

    Any proposed development will be subject to the planning process and consultation with Sligo-Drumcliff MD members and the local community.  I would like this process to happen.”
  3. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor M. Casserly:

  6. To consider the following motion as submitted by Councillor T. Walsh:
    “That Sligo County Council calls on Irish Water to immediately make funding available to upgrade the old concrete asbestos water line in Ballisodare to Carraroe.  This area has now been dugout up on 4 occasions in 2022 as a result of bursts or leaks.  That Irish Water provide a report on the matter and funding for upgrade”
