HEADED ITEM NO. 23

HEADED ITEM:

Recommended wording change to PA197 which proposes a new SLO Tourism Amenity - Dodder Valley

which states:

“Support the development of a visitor centre/tourism amenity based on the historical mills that were a feature of the area, at a suitable location on the Dodder at Tallaght with particular focus on examining potential impacts on biodiversity and wildlife that such a development may have.”

REPLY:

The SLO provides for the Council to support the development of such an amenity, at a suitable location, which will be examined in conjunction with an overall proposal for the amenity.

The amendment, however should read, in accordance with the minutes of the Council Meeting of 13th May 2010. The wording change is minor in nature.
