To ask that Management explore and pilot test opportunities and means of communicating with the general public so that Council initiatives on such occasions as Halloween, Social Credit System, Seminars, Review of Policy e.g. on litter, parks, parking bye-laws etc. as there is a significant disconnect between the LA and the population it serves that cannot be addressed in an urban environment by public representatives alone?

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor E. Higgins
Responsibility:
Brian Sheehan

That the Manager presents a report on the possibility of proposing a park in our County for a 5k run initiative in association with RTE's Operation Transformation. Last year the show, together with the Irish Sports Council, used a number of national venues on a set date for their national campaign. The Dublin venue, The Phoenix Park, was hugely over-subscribed. If the show is planning a similar 2013 campaign, a South Dublin County Council park could be profiled by the show and a community awareness campaign run at minimal cost through local groups and media. If not, perhaps the Manager would consider running our own County Run in conjunction with the publicity generated from this popular show which promotes healthy living.
