MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, November 12, 2018

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor M. Ward

Based on the recommendations of the ISPCCC this Council agrees that provision is made by South Dublin County Council to grant free access to its local sports and leisure facilities such as swimming pools, to families who are homeless. Access to such activities can provide both physical and mental stimulation and offers families the opportunity to participate together outside of their limited homeless accommodation.

REPORT:

The charging policy for leisure centres operated by South County Dublin Leisure Services (SCDLS) is determined by its directors and management team with the Council having no role or input in this area of operation.  It should be noted that SCDLS operates a cost neutral model and strives to provide all services at the lowest price possible with only one price adjustment having been implemented in the last 10 years that was directly related to VAT requirements.
