Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far by signing our petition and sending letters of support to our landlord Dublin City Council (DCC).

We’re sorry we don’t have better news to share with you, but unfortunately we are currently at a stalemate with DCC. Our crucial need for urgency doesn’t seem to register with DCC and our hourglass is almost empty.

Since October 2023, our ability to support our studio has been decimated. DCC requested that we cease our activities and vacate the building due to fire safety works they were supposed to undertake as a landlord for many years. Still, no alternative location or reimbursement has been offered, and no timeline for works or lease agreement has been discussed. Meetings are consistently postponed, and there's a lack of urgency in addressing the situation imposed on us by DCC.

Therefore, we've sadly had to let go of the majority of the D-Light team by the end of this month. We've also lost most of our tenants - the small businesses and artists who were integral to D-Light.

This leaves us in a precarious situation. Below are the actions we need to take to sustain us through the negotiation process. We so appreciate your continued support as we navigate these uncharted waters.
