Developers have to use drainage system, says TD
LIAM Lawlor believes he is still in with a fighting chance to scoop at least €2.5m from the Adamstown development. The official masterplan for the Adamstown development means that some of the developers will have no choice but hook up to his existing drainage system, the former Fianna Fail TD believes.
Despite the strong statement by the main developer, Castlethorn, that it will find an alternative route for its pipes, it is understood Mr Lawlor is convinced that up to 20pc of the land will naturally drain to his company's system and several thousand houses will be hooked into this. A spokesperson for Maplewood Homes, another big developer at Adamstown was not available to comment yesterday on Mr Lawlor's claims that the official Adamstown plan shows a large slice of the land where it will be building houses naturally drains into Mr Lawlor's company's drainage system area. Mr Lawlor, who is in Prague, would make no further comment last night but it is understood that he remains convinced the company in which he has a major shareholding will be involved in the drainage. He believes that a comprehensive study of the land, carried out by consultants for the local authority, specifically shows that 20pc of the Adamstown land drains through the system his company installed almost 20 years ago. Pentagon Property Services, the company linked to former TD Liam Lawlor and businessman Jim Kennedy stands to make €10m if this happens. South Dublin County Council yesterday declined to comment on the issue stating that matters had been referenced in the Mahon Tribunal. The Mahon Tribunal heard in 2003 that Mr Lawlor's own share of the profits could amount to €2.5m. The planning tribunal was told that the company, Pentagon Properties, in turn owned by Cypriot company Metro Launch, owns the underground drainage system serving part of the Adamstown lands where it is proposed to build 10,000 new homes. The tribunal was told that Mr Kennedy had a 50pc shareholding in Pentagon and Mr Lawlor had a 25pc stake in the company. Tribunal senior counsel Des O'Neill has already told the tribunal that the drainage network owned by the company was going to be used to drain 20pc of the Adamstown development. Based on a €5,000 sewerage connection per residential unit, that would give the company €10m. Mr Lawlor has lived in the area, which has now become part of Adamstown, since 1974 and previously owned 23 acres there. He sold this land. Michael Whelan, managing director of Maplewood Homes told the Tribunal that he bought one acre attached to Mr Lawlor's home at Somerton, Lucan, Co Dublin, but that the agreed purchase price was £820,000 (€1,041,000) and not £690,000 (€876,000), which the former TD had told the inquiry.

I mean, who wouldn't want to own their own sewage drainage system? 8)
