MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 12, 2016

QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive, on foot of representations and previous business at this meeting, to enable the opening of the gates of Tymon Park (Orwell entrance) at 9am on Saturday mornings to facilitate those taking part in the weekly Park Run event?"

REPLY:

The proposal to automate the main entrance gates to Tymon Park has been included in the Public Realm Improvement Works Programme for 2016.  It is expected that the works associated with this scheme will be carried out during the second and third quarters of the current year.  The gate at Orwell is included in this project.  Once in place it will be possible to programme the automated system to open gates at the required times, therefore the current restriction to 10am opening will no longer apply.
