Henry Mckean On The Hard Shoulder

Ireland’s second largest athletic club, Lusk AC, is looking for a permanent home to train. Now with 700 members they are the biggest in Dublin. At the moment they share an area called the Hub at the back of Lusk with GAA pitches, dog walkers and football, but it’s become difficult to throw a discus or javelin with the other sports taking place. A local developer is supposed to hand over a 7 acre site for recreational use to Fingal County Council and for Lusk Athletic to use but it has been caught up in red tape for some time. Henry McKean has been investigating.
