MOTION NO. 125

MOTION: Councillor D. Looney

Under 3.9.0 add to CI7 Objective 1 to read;

"To support the provision of new or improved sports and leisure facilities in the County. To this end, a comprehensive study will be carried out in the lifetime of this plan to examine existing facilities, club structures, demographic data and other information in order to identify future needs for sports and leisure development in the County."

Co signed by Cllr FN Duffy and Cllr P Gogarty.

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council’s Community Department has carried out some preliminary work on this matter in conjunction with Public Realm. This work will continue over the life time of the Plan. It is an objective of the Plan (CI1 - 1) to carry out an assessment of community floorspace needs in the County.

The provision of additional facilities will require the availability of the necessary finances;

Section 48 contributions will not finance all required facilities so financial assistance from national resources is essential.

(Refer to response to Motion Item no. 45142)

 

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment
