This Council, recognising the importance the role physical activity plays in positive mental health for teens, requests that the Chief Executive respond positively to the call from South Dublin Comhairle Na Og, for concessions in respect of reduced rates for teenagers and young people at the SDCC owned Sports Centres and in responding will he appreciate the motives of the young people in presenting such a proposal. 

REPORT:

The management team of  the three leisure centres have extended an invitation to the members of Comhairle Na Og to tour the facilities and see at first hand the amenities available. The event will give an opportunity for the participants to gain an insight into the benifits of physical activity and the concept of a healthy lifestyle. 

Currently young people and teenagers avail of special rates and there has been no increase in prices in over 10 years.  South County Dublin Leisure Services operates a gold standard service on behalf of the Council and is committed to delivering value for money to all our citizens.
