MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, January 25, 2016

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive if he would now confirm the schedule being followed in respect of the proposed Playground at Tymon Park Tallaght; will he appreciate the frustration of the local community in respect of the continued delay in dealing with the matter and bringing the project to a successful conclusion to the satisfaction of the local community?"

REPLY:

It is unfortunate that this project has been delayed for a considerable length of time. The delay has been caused by a number of factors including the volume of consultations necessary to deliver the Five Year Play Space programme across the county.

However, provision has been made in the 2016 – 2018 3 Year Capital Programme for a Regional Parks Playground Refurbishment Programme and Tymon Park is included in this. Design work has already commenced on this project and it is the intention of the Council to advertise for tender shortly.
