MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 26, 2017

MOTION NO.16

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive considers placing a sensory area/room in Lucan Library as part of Autism Friendly initiatives taking place in our library. Many in our community would benefit from this initiative."

REPORT:

"Space is extremely limited in Lucan Library currently to facilitate a sensory play space for children. The seminar room is a multi-functional room used for different events, talks, activities and indeed study space for students. The suggestion will be borne in mind should any renovations be carried out to the library. Staff are currently working with Lucan Autism Network to provide additional events for children with special needs."
