> the people who have contributed hugely to the building of this centre should reap the rewards.

Hear, hear. Imagine living in the area and seeing Clasac sitting there in all its magnificence and NOT being able to use it, after many years' worth of working towards it. For me, that's the bottom line, however hard HQ tries to justify taking it away from them. And a "reconstituted committee" is not an answer, it's just a slap in the face, whatever excuse they give for it.

The people of Clontarf obviously CAN function without the resources of Comhaltas, but why should they????? How many hours of unpaid work have they and their children contributed in good faith over the years?
