MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 09, 2018

QUESTION NO.2

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide a timeline for the proposed improvement works to the Tymon Park dog run, and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

"The need for benches, a shelter and a water supply at the Tymon Park dog run was raised on the November agenda of the Rathfarnham/Templeogue-Terenure area committee meeting.  In response to this item a commitment was given to cost these works and propose them for inclusion in the 2018 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme.  It is not in order to proceed with these works just yet as the improvement works programme for 2018 has not yet been agreed with the elected members.  The proposed programme of works will be presented to the elected members during the first quarter of 2018.

The need for drainage works to address the ponding of water at the entrance to the dog run was raised separately on the December agenda of the ACM.  It was agreed at that meeting that there is a need to relocate the entrance to the dog run to the highest point of the site and away from its current location where ponding of water occurs.  It was agreed that works to address this issue would be carried out early in the New Year."
