COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Monday, November 15, 2010

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor M. Corr

To ask the Manager to arrange to reposition the signage of Tallaght Leisure Centre onto either of the gable ends of the building facing out onto the new Outer Ring Road clearly maximising the excellent advertising potential to passersby, noting the current signs although aesthetically pleasing are too subtle to promote business and thereby increase revenue?

REPLY: An exercise is currently underway to examine the feasibility of erecting suitable additional signage within the curtilage of Tallaght Leisure Centre. Consideration is being given to the erection of digital signage which would have a dual purpose of promoting the facility as well as being available to provide public information. (ie. traffic news, adverse weather etc,). Any new signage would have to be of a high standard in keeping with the overall design of TLC. Unfortunately there is little scope to source funding in the current climate, however the council and management are supportive of the concept and will revisit when possible.
