MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly, Councillor K. Egan
That this Council commends our Local Enterprise Office and South Dublin on Ice for engaging with those with disabilities in our Community and organising a specific event to cater for groups complimentary during the season. Not only did it promote local businesses but it demonstrated inclusion at its best for all in our County.
REPORT:
As part of National Accessibility Week 2017, the County Promotion Unit in partnership with the staff and management of South Dublin on Ice and Celtic Clover Ice Hockey Club were delighted to host a very memorable and enjoyable event for the children and their families at Tallaght Stadium on Saturday 2nd December.
The Council is committed to increasing the participation of people with disabilities in sport and recreational physical activity. This will be achieved through working in partnership with local businesses, statutory agencies, sports clubs, community groups, facility providers, schools, disability service providers and people with disabilities through events such as this.
