MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, March 15, 2017

MOTION NO. 17

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That the area in Clondalkin know as Sally Lane and the River Camac are restored to their former glory as to provide local and tourism potential."

REPORT:

While the focus of the Architects and Economic Enterprise and Tourism functions is presently upon the successful completion of the Round Tower Centre, there is a need to plan for further development and integration of visitor focused heritage and amenity features in the wider Clondalkin area such as Corkagh Park, the Grand Canal, the Round Tower and other features, including the Camac, in order to realise their potentials for tourism and as local community amenities.

Given the nature of this undertaking it will require the co-ordination of multiple Departments to establish roles and implementation activities. In the interim part of the interpretative exhibition at the Round Tower will tell the story of the Camac with the intention of the future development of a heritage trail connecting Corkagh to Clondalkin Village, as flagged in presentations to SPC on the Corkagh Study. This will necessitate consideration of solutions for this area of the River Camac. An implementation plan for the Corkagh report is presently being developed.
