QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask for a report/update on a dog run for Rathcoole Park?" (https://www.change.org/p/open-dog-park-in-rathcoole-park) 

REPLY:

As outlined in previous response to Questions submitted in 2017, 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, as it has been determined that the works associated with the strategic water main will have significant impact within Rathcoole Park, it is considered prudent to defer provision of the dog run until those works have concluded.
