MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Thursday, December 02, 2010

QUESTION NO 3.

QUESTION: Councillor M. Corr

"To ask the Manager to indicate the future status of the Jobstown Playground given the recent reconfiguration of the Jobstown CDP?"

REPLY:

The Local Development Social Inclusion Programme and the Community Development Programme were the two main social inclusion/community development programmes of the Department of Community, Equality and Gaeltacht Affairs. Both had a community development element and were delivered through separate local delivery structures. These Programmes came to an end on 31 December 2009 and have been superseded by a new Programme, the Local and Community Development Programme (LCDP).  This will incorporate the remaining CDP’s and the Local Area Partnerships. 

Under the new LDCP programme Jobstown CDP, is merging with the Dodder Valley Area Partnership. Legal, governance and due diligence issues are being progressed by the latter organisation to ensure as seamless a transition as possible.

South Dublin County Council has made provision in the 2011 Draft Budget for continued payment of grant support to ensure that the status of Jobstown Playground is not adversely affected.
