MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 24, 2015

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"To ask the Chief Executive that following my motion 41494 dated 12.11.14 re: Park Runs provision of Gazebos and the reply received from South Dublin Sports Partnership outlining the issues, can the local Park runs organiser be informed of these issues with a view to resolving them amicably."

REPLY:

As previously advised the Sports Partnership Officer contacted Parkrun through its National Director in relation to this proposal.

Parkrun was of the view that due to administrative, financial and organisational concerns, they were not supportive of the proposal. They confirmed that they had come to this view following consultation with volunteer organisers.

The Sports Partnership Officer has agreed to again raise the issue with the National Director when the programme is next reviewed.
