Subject: RE: Battle of Clontarf-round two/Comhaltas Interruptus
again you dont seem to understand. there was no problems with getting the centre running until the inexplicable actions of comhaltas as regards signing for the loan and the VAT refund.

you also dont seem to understand that there have been NO meetings WITH comhaltas in the run up to getting the building running. there was a seperate board with members from all parties to get the centre running and anything that was decided was done through this committee. and as regards meetings to solve the problem, well obviously you have not read the whole of this thread. clontarf have tried and tried in vain to have meetings with comhaltas but are rebuffed everytime. if you are so damning of not having meetings, i suggest you contact cce and ask them about it. i doubt that you will have an easier time getting one. cce has had secret meetings and have made judgements on the situation without notifying clontarf or anyone involved. clontarf have not been allowed to state their position to cce since being dissolved simply because cce refuse to meet with them. clontarf are the ones being pro-active in the situation in trying to arrange a meeting to solve the problem, so why are you so critical of them?

so far cce have ignored approaches by the branch and have only served to stoke the fire by peddling untrue stories about the leadership of the branch, the leadership of the branch is the only thing that is keeping the branch going without cce's help at the moment so i think you are wrong in your criticism. the problems with the centre arose out of actions by cce, not by conflict within the clasac committee.

nobody closely involved with trying to get the centre open again is concerned with laying the blame, if they were they would not be approaching cce to solve the bloody problem.
