Thank you for your support by signing our petition.

We can’t express how truly grateful we are. Your energy and support are keeping us going. The good news is your efforts have caught the attention of DCC.

However, this is a pivotal moment as we now must keep the pressure on DCC to ensure they take action, otherwise we face becoming yesterday’s news.

We are therefore asking you again to lend your name and weight to a Letter of Support that will go directly to the powers at be in DCC.

These letters will echo the same request that’s in the petition:

1. That Dublin City Council (our legal landlord) undertakes the necessary and required fire safety works while respecting our occupancy of the space.

2. DCC urgently guarantees our tenancy with a lease, to ensure our long-term survival.

A template can be downloaded, feel free to change it in any way you feel is suitable.

Letters can then either be emailed or posted to DCC’s CEO, Richard Sheakspare and NEIC's new independent Chair, Jim Gavin. If you can CC us when emailing your letter, or if you chose to post the letter, then email us a copy at info@d-lightstudios.com
