That this Committee welcomes the positive news from the Chief State Solicitors Office and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport on resolving some of the technical matters which were holding up work on the TASC Pavilion planned for Tymon Park. This Committee requests an update on the current status of the project and a projected timeline of the project, and urges the speedy delivery of the TASC Pavilion to cater for the variety of applicable sporting groups and their hundreds of members.
That this Committee calls on the Manager to arrange as a matter of priority to maintain the grassed areas on both sides of Tallaght stream along the ‘black path’ between the Old Bawn Rd and the Bridge at St Dominic’s Rd as this has become so overgrown that it has become a safety/security issue for pedestrians and cyclists alike who use the path. It is also extremely unsightly and does not give a good impression of our County Town at such a prominent location at the junction to the Village.
