About us

The new management committee was established based on a proposal from the Drimnagh Residents Association following the breakdown in discussion with Dublin City Council to provide a new state of the art community centre in exchange for the area on which the hall sits.  The committee consists of four persons nominated by the Drimnagh Residents Association. Every effort was made to ensure that the committee represented a cross section of the overall Drimnagh area. The committee has a chairperson  appointed jointly by the Pastoral Council and the Drimnagh Residents Association.

Mission Statement

The Management Committee agrees to interest itself in, and assist as far as possible, with all matters relating to the maintenance and upkeep of the hall and to provide and maintain funds to cover running costs and planning including taking steps to encourage community usage of the hall and where possible to seek funding to bring the hall to a high standard of repair in the interests of health and safety of all users of the hall and thus provide a community centre that is a hub for local people and organisations in Drimnagh by enabling the provision of services that are identified as being required by the Community.  

Goals

The Goals represent the focused work that needs to be done to achieve the vision and mission.

The goals therefore are that within an initial three-year period, the Committee will strive:

  • To be professional in all that we do
  • To develop strong sustainable Management structures
  • To provide a safe place where people can meet
  • To attract a maximum number of clubs and organisations to use the facilities
  • To seek the necessary funding to bring the Hall up to the required standards of safety and efficiency
