QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the operation of (a) the dog run and (b) the TASC Pavilion in Tymon Park to date, and to make a statement on each matter?"

REPLY:

(a) The dog run in Tymon Park which has been opened to the public for a number of months during this summer, is operating quite successfully and is well used by dog walkers in the Park. Some signage now needs to be erected at the entrance to the dog run and additional work needs to be carried out on the repair of the perimeter fencing, surfacing to the holding area, together with the installation of a number of seats and litter bins. It is hoped to have this work carried out in the coming weeks, subject to funds being available.

(b) The TASC Pavilion in Tymon Park was officially opened on 9th May 2014.  Limekiln Rounders and Terenure RC were the first of the three anchor groups to occupy the facility with the Working Trials Club of Ireland due to move into the pavilion shortly. 

A letter issued on 26th August to all other known sports clubs in the area inviting expressions of interest in using the changing room facilities which may in the future be booked on a first come first served pay by use basis.  Once all expressions of interest have been received, access for the interested groups will be arranged through a booking system.
