MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 11, 2018

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor P. Donovan

"In congratulating South Dublin County Council on recent award/retention of Green Flags for Parks in Tallaght and Clondalkin, that this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to pursue Green flag status for Rathfarnham Castle Park."

REPORT:

The green flag achieved by Corkagh Park in 2017 has been retained in 2018, and Sean Walsh Park has also achieved green flag status for the first time in 2018.  It is intended that applications will be made in 2019 to retain these flags and that additional new applications for other parks will be made on an incremental basis in the coming years.  The proposal to pursue green flag status for Rathfarnham Castle Park will be examined with a view to making this application in 2019.
