QUESTION No. 16

 

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive if he will consider the hosting of a free Family Fun Day in Tymon Park this summer, and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

"The Community Services Department took a decision a number of years ago based on logistics, resource availabily, unpredictability of Irish weather and on the principal of value for money to move away from the organising of large Family Fun Day events in regional Parks.

A policy of supporting the delivery of a greater number of smaller localised Family Days was seem to be more suitable and beneficial to local communities. The local community development teams are available and have already commenced discussions with a number of local community facilities and local communities groups as to the delivery of local Family Days throughout the County including a number around the Tymon Park catchment area."
