QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor J. Hannon

"To ask the Manager to clarify the location of a proposed public golf course in the Tallaght South area, and can he also confirm that this will not be located within the proposed Ellensborough Park, given that the detailed plans for same have not been brought before the Committee?"

REPLY:

The Parks Department has no plans for the location of a public golf course in the Tallaght South area.  At a meeting of the Tallaght Area Committee on March 23, 2009, a draft plan for the proposed public park at Kiltipper / Ellensborough was presented for consideration. This draft plan outlined proposals for the construction of a pedestrian path network and represented the first step in the primary development of the proposed public park.  It was proposed that this draft plan would form the basis for the initiation of a Part 8 public consultation process for the development of the park.  The development of the Kiltipper lands as a proposed public park is included for phased development in the Council’s Rolling Capital Programme.  However, like all other items in the Rolling Capital Programme the advancement of this project is subject to the identification and allocation of funding for its delivery.
