    information in relation to a fence around land at Matt Kelly Community Grounds in Newtownmountkennedy Co. WIcklow. The land is being leased by a sports club (or Newtownmountkennedy Area Sports Development Group) from Wicklow County Council. A link to maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/UgnUBgXYUGq DBDdN7 Up to August 2025 the land was accessible by general public, so I could use it with my family for casual recreation outside training hours. Unfortunately in August 2025 a fence was put around the pitch, preventing anyone not affiliated with the club to access the pitch. I am looking for part of terms of the lease in relation to boundary treatment, boundary maintenance and anything in relation to access to the land by general public, is there a term in relation to right of way, public access and insurance? I am not looking for information in relation to cost of the lease, as it can be deemed commercial, but I am looking for any information in relation other terms, the land use, access to it by public and the fence which was recently put up.
