MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to work with Griffeen Educate together, Lucan East Educate Together and Kishogue Educate Together and identify an area that can be used by all three school for PE, football & other sports."

REPORT:

All three schools have been developed in accordance with Department of Education & Skills requirements and include outdoor hard surfaced ball courts and play areas.  The Department has not identified any further requirement for sports facilities for these schools and such additional facilities are not normally provided as part of the development of a primary school.  Griffeen Valley Park is proximite to all three schools and the SDCC Parks Department should be in a position to assist in identifying an area or areas that could be used by all three schools for sports activity beyond the school grounds.
