Chapter 1 - Strategy
Acknowledging both the submissions made at the consultative stage and the subsequent response of the Manager, the members being very conscious of the fact that much of the county was developed quite rapidly and over a relatively short time frame with much of the consolidation being understandably focused in the County capital of Tallaght, direct that Management in preparing the Draft for the Development Plan Review, pay specific and particular attention to the deficit in other parts of the County, especially, but not only, in older communities that now require rejuvenation through the provision of schools (all levels including creches) and of a wide variety of community facilities for all age groups such as community centres, libraries. Museums, interpretive or visitor centers, places of worship, indoor sport and recreation facilities such as swimming pools and Youth Cafes, outdoor facilities such as children’s play areas, space for outdoor sports, skate parks, and scramble areas for motorcycle and quad enthusiasts.
