Cappamore Housing Association Statement
Convent Property Transfer of Ownership
Cappamore Housing Association CLG wish to correct certain false and misleading statements issued in print and on social media in the last number of weeks regarding current ownership conditions attaching to the former convent property.
As per the attached signed Transfer document dated 8th March 2020, the property was transferred from the Sisters of Mercy Trust to Cappamore Housing Association CLG with the following 3 conditions.
- Front portion of property to be developed as a carpark.
- Main convent residence to provide social and residential housing accommodation.
- Should the property be sold within the period of 25 year, 25% of the consideration to be refunded to the Sisters of Mercy.
To facilitate the transfer of the convent residence to the School, the Sisters of Mercy have agreed in principle to amend condition 2 above.
On the 10th September 2024 our solicitor received correspondence from Sisters of Mercy solicitor requesting details “regards change of use and what involvement the Department of Education will have.”
We continue to await meaningful engagement from the Board of Management of Scoil Chaitriona to progress the proposed transfer to the School.
Signed; P J Blackwell (Company Secretary)
