The Grangegorman Development Agency is applying for planning permission to locate new temporary sports changing facilities adjacent to the current changing facilities at the southern end of the Grangegorman site (see map here). These new facilities will be single storey flat roof structures and will be constructed off site. This means there will be no major construction work taking place onsite.


In addition the GDA is applying for planning permission in order to relocate Goirtin Training Centre from their current location behind Connoly Norman House (See map here). This is to allow the enabling work for the HSE replacement facilities to take place. Goirtin are being relocated to temporary accommodation in the Top House on the Grangegorman site but will also have new permanent facilities onsite as part of the overall development project.
