MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, February 15, 2017

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask for a report on a possible dog run in Rathcoole like the one in Corkagh park? How could this be progressed?" (578 people have signed a petition).

REPLY:

The Council is aware of the on-line petition.

In this regard this committee was advised during 2016 of the Council's intention to consider the provision of an off leash area (enclosed dog run) in Rathcoole Park. 

At that time it was considered appropriate that the project be costed for potential inclusion in the 2017 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme.

It was further advised that the potential location and timelines would be cognisant of major works proposed in / around this area relating to the Leixlip (Peamount) / Saggart Strategic Water Main. 

Since then it has been determined that the works associated with the strategic water main will have significant impact within Rathcoole Park, and it is considered prudent to defer provision of the dog run until those works have concluded.
