REPLY:

The following report outlines additional works carried out to playing pitches since the last report submitted in early July. 

• Pitch 47 in Clondalkin Park - goal mouth reinstated with soil sand mix.
• Pitch 48 in Clondalkin Park – Goal posts removed.  Club will be using their own portable goals.
• Pitch 93 in Ballymount Park  - goal mouth will be reinstated in September/October with soil sand mix.
• Pitch 94 In Ballymount Park – The lines on the GAA pitch have been damaged by weedkiller or something similar.  The resulting depressions in the grass sward are causing problems for the mower.  The situation is being monitored however if it does not improve the pitch may have to be called off permanently to allow for reinstatement works.
• Works on the equine facility in Ballyowen Park have commenced and as a result pitch no 36 is no longer available.
• It is still proposed to undertake vertidraining on pitches, and this is due to take place in October/November of this year.
