Tallaght village - some respect please

The community in Tallaght welcomes investment in services long overdue for the fastest growing urban centre in Ireland. However we want to show respect to two short streets where Tallaght began - our pretty village. The streetscape and heritage contained in these short streets needs to be visibly valued and protected - not hidden behind bland urban apartment blocks. We are not ashamed of our medieval roots and want to parade them to visitors and locals with pride. Show respect for our village and the community views - do not over develop the village area and keep the urban design and approach for the urban centre beside county hall. Give us our heritage centre - nt anther block of 39 apartments - it is clear which will give more to the community in the long term. Do the right thing.Get the Esso site and develop a heritage centre on this ideally located site in the village - not four storey apartments.
