That this Council explores the possibility of environmentally sensitive lighting in Rathfarnham Castle Park, limited to that part of the park used by the Rathfarnham WSAF Athletics Club, for the benefit of the club´s Juvenile Athletes during evening training sessions in the Autumn/Winter months, bearing in mind that it would be for approx 2 hours, 2 nights per week. Currently, the club uses mobile lighting transported manually from the clubhouse to the park and has done so for many years.
