MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

Cathaoirleach's Business

That the Manager would make a report on progress made, with the developer and Palmerstown Community Council, on the completion of the Palmerstown Community Centre.

REPORT:

The Council met with Palmerstown Community Council shortly before Christmas to discuss the completion of the Palmerstown  Community Centre.

Following discussions, the Council asked P.C.C. to indicate clearly what programmes, classes, community initiatives and other uses were proposed for the facility. The nature of these activities would inform the appropriate fitting out of the facility, and in doing so, would help to ensure the viability and sustainability of the Community centre.

The Council took the opportunity to confirm its financial commitments to the centre in the form of a two-year management grant as well as assistance in the fit out of the centre with relevant equipment. The P.C.C. undertook to address these issues and to come back to the Council at a future date to progress matters and to bring the provision of the centre to a successful conclusion.
