MOTION NO. 74

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Motion: Cllr G. O’Connell, Cllr P. Gogarty, Cllr L. O’Toole

In line with the Tallaght Priory Submission, that the Section 3.11.2 and ET1 Objective 9 in Section 4.3.1  of the 2016-2022 CDP be amended to include the Priory Institute as an educational institution within the County.

REPORT:

The Institute of Technology Tallaght (ITT) is nationally recognised as a centre for research and innovation. While other higher level educational institutions in the County are not specifically referenced in the Draft Plan 2016-2022, their function and position within the hierarchy of educational facilities within the County is recognised, with Section 3.11.12 of the Draft Plan providing for the support of all third and fourth level educational facilities throughout the County. It is not recommended that the Draft County Development Plan be amended in this regard.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
