MOTION NO 21.

MOTION: Councillor S. Crowe

This Committee calls on the manager to  investigate and resolve the difficulties being experienced by St Marks GAA Club Springfield ,Tallaght with  2 of the pitches allocated to them following the removal of the ditch running near them and  subsquent creating even worse flooding and water retention in the immediate area

REPORT:

A problem with waterlogging on a small corner of a pitch allocated to St. Marks G.A.A. Club at Butler McGee has been a feature of this part of the park due to existing ground levels. It was intended to carry out remedial works this year to resolve this matter but due to the unsuitable ground and weather conditions over the summer months, when this work is normally undertaken, it was not possible to commence works. However the local Parks staff are working closely with St Marks G.A.A. club with a view to having this problem resolved as soon as ground conditions permit. It should be noted that the resolution of this matter may require the pitch to be taken out of use for a period of time.
