That the Council notes that in reply to a Parliamentary Question (Ref.No. 24716/12) on 17th May 2012, the Minister of State at the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government, Jan O Sullivan TD, stated : "I am fully supportive of the protection and enhancement of the Liffey Valley as an amenity. In 2009, my predecessor requested the relevant authorities (South Dublin County Council, Fingal County Council, Dublin City Council and Kildare County Council) to consider the evaluation of lands to be the subject of further Special Amenity Area Orders. Responses were received from these authorities, but no decision on issuing a direction or directions was made by my predecessor prior to leaving office. Given the time that has elapsed since the relevant planning authorities responded I am considering writing to them again to seek their views/intentions in relation to further Special Amenity Area Orders, However I do not propose to issue any directions to the planning authorities concerned at this time. A number of years ago the Office of Public Works commissioned a strategy document Towards a Liffey Valley Park, which set out recommendations for the creation of a process towards the establishment of a park with a management for the Liffey Valley area. The matter of the implementation of these recommendations, or similar steps is one for the local authorities concerned." That having regard to the Minister of State's reply, particularly the last sentence therein, this Council supports the establishment of a Liffey Valley Park, and requests the Manager to provide an updated Report on measures being considered by the Council, in cooperation with adjacent local authorities, or independently, to implement the recommendations in Towards a Liffey Valley Park, and if she will make a statement on the matter.
