SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 29, 2016

MOTION NO. 23

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to provide an update on plans to improve playing and ancillary facilities at Griffeen Valley Park used by Lucan Sarsfields GAA club, including enhancements to AGP pitches and parking at Hayden’s Lane, as previously discussed by the Council and the Club and which were also referenced in the response to my question (50186) at the July County Council meeting."

REPORT:

The automating of the gate to Haydens Lane car park has been listed for the 2017 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme. Recently one of the goal mouths on the pitch nearest Griffeen Glen estate was sodded. It is also proposed to fertilise sections of the 3 GAA pitches that require feeding to stimulate grass growth.

The proposals to extend the Haydens Lane car park by circa 50 spaces will be examined in 2017. Should it prove feasible, having regard to current park use and pitch configuration, the proposal will be listed for consideration in the 2018 Capital Works Programme.
