MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MOTION NO.12

MOTION: Councillor D. Richardson

That this council call on the Chief Executive to update members on the Dublin Mountain walkway as part of our tourism strategy

currently the signs to the Dublin mountain walkway are damaged falling down and walkers are getting lost .

I believe if we are serious about bringing tourists in to our county we need more than a wooden stake in the ground with a directional arrow on it

where do people park for this walk ,

are the council engaging with walking clubs in the county

we are coming into the summer months and we should be attracting more visitors to this county

How serious are we about Tourism in our county

     

REPORT:

There is a full update report in relation to the Dublin Mountains flagship feasibility study and draft masterplan listed for presentation and discussion on the agenda for this Meeting. The feasibility study indicates that the project potentially delivers an opportunity to attract very significant visitors to the County.

Members will be aware that a County wide signage strategy is being developed and rolled out.  The local signage issues along the Dublin Mountains Way raised in the Motion will be examined in conjuction with the Dublin Mountains Partnership.
