Following the public vote, the eight projects below were successful and will be impletemented by South Dublin County Council within a 12 month period with effect from the 1st June 2017. Some projects will require a more detailed assessment and consultation and at this stage we haven’t assessed definitive timelines for all projects. Possible locations for the three projects referred to in the question are currently being considered and further information will be communicated when available. A consultation process has commenced on the project with the most public votes which was the playground for Waterstown Park. A questionnaire is being delivered to primary schools in Palmerstown and to local community groups. It is designed to get feedback as to what people want from any new play facility.
