MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That this committee being very concerned at the lack of facilities for teenagers in the Lucan Palmerstown Area, requests that a review and strategy be drawn up, on existing and desirable facilities including strategic locations, involving the CDDRETB, Foroige and other stakeholders including local community groups and a report brought  before this committee for consideration and approval."

REPORT: 

"South Dublin County Council has a dedicated Community Team who work in partnership with the various statutory and voluntary agencies operating in the County.  Many facilities have been provided and managed in partnership with other agencies including the DDL Education and Training Board and the Clondalkin and Lucan Youth Services such as Palmerstown Sports Centre and Griffeen Youth Centre.   Any new or existing groups who are looking for accommodation should in the first instance contact the Community Team who will advise and assist as necessary. It is not always possible to meet requests but opportunities can and do arise from time to time and therefore their requests and needs should be registered with the Community Team.

The Council continues to invest in community facilities in the Lucan and Palmerstown Area, and significant investment is committed to the Lucan Swimming Pool and the Adamstown Sports and Community Facility."
