response to 3rd Audit

18/08/10

Dear Ms Kelleher

I have just received your correspondence via Mr. Daly.

I find it strange that I was not consulted by Mr Stockdale , on any of his concerns, some of which do not exist .

I would like to take this opportunity to address same .

1. It is planned to pave the Sq to the first step, and pedestrianise , and we have worked around all obstacles for 5 years . Was Mr Stockdale made aware that a market had been running there for 5 years without a hitch?

2. The layout of stalls submitted by me , would not impede any fire exits, This was not given to Mr Stockdale.

3. Again the new layout would not impede access to emergency vehicles.

4.There are 5 exits from the site .

5 No diesel generators have ever been used in the market.

6. Gas bottles are used in every market in Ireland , but if required we would disallow the use of same in Kinsale.

I trust you will consider the above , as Kinsale needs a successful Market as much as the Market needs Kinsale .

I have over 500 signature from the towns people to con firm this.

Yours Miles Cattell

Re: Short Quay, Kinsale, Co. Cork

Dear Ms. Cattell,

I refer to recent reports in relation to the Short Quay as an appropriate location for the Farmer’s Market. As you are aware I have received an independent report stating the the Short Quay is unsuitable for such a market for the following reasons:-

• 1. Too may levels and obstacles in the space
• 2. Stalls would impede existing fire escapes
• 3 .Access to emergency vehicles would be impeded
• 4. Concerns in relation to safe egress from the site
• 5. Concerns in relation to the use of diesel generators
• 6. Concerns in relation to the safe use of gas and distances required from existing buildings and other stall holders.

Given the above report, the Short Quay has been deemed unsuitable for a market. I have met with the exiting stallholders who have confirmed to me that they wish to remain trading at Church Square.

I am available on the above number should you wish to contact me.

Sincerely,
