MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"This committee asks that all assistance possible would be given to a group of Parents in the Bawnogue area who are trying to organise weekend activities for their young adult and teenaged children.  They are trying to access a venue in one of the two community centres and this is proving problematic.  There also seems to be a shortage of staff available to work at weekends."    

REPORT:

Crosscare will be meeting with the young people over the coming weeks to see what the young people wish to participate in.

Until these issues are resolved we will not know what times/day or hours are required.

The Community worker is willing to work with the group to have them set up properly, and liaise with Crosscare workers as to what is required.

Bawnogue Youth and Community Centre operates with a part time manager and participants from the labour activation programme.  There is not sufficient numbers at present to open the centre at weekends.
