The document discusses plans for developing allotment gardens in Malahide, Ireland. Phase 1 will include promoting building retrofits and establishing allotments. For the allotments project, planning permission is nearly complete for the first site, which will be ready for occupancy in October. Over 400 people are on the waiting list for plots. The next steps discussed are engaging The Green Village for mentorship and feedback, and gauging interest from the community in renting allotment plots.
