QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor J. Hannon

To ask the Manager to report on progress, if any, in relation to the implementation of Policy TDL7 stating Council policy on the facilitation and promotion of Tallaght Town Centre as an Education City?

REPLY:

The Council continues to support Tallaght as an education and innovation city. In particular the Business Support Initiative through the Economic Sub-group of the CDB continues to work with the ITT, in particular with the Synergy unit to promote improved economic development . With respect to the ITT the Council has granted permission for a number of educational buildings including an engineering building and a tourism, hospitality and culinary arts facility. Construction is underway on campus. 

The existing co-operation between the Council and the ITT will continue to be developed in the context of the recent designation of Tallaght by SEAI as a Sustainable Energy Community.
