MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, April 19, 2017

QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"With the very welcome aproval of €16,000 to develop a dog run in Rathcoole Park, when can we hope to see work start?"

REPLY:

As outlined in response to Question submitted to the February 2017 meeting, 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.   

The figure allocated will be ring fenced for this facility.
