SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, February 11, 2019
MOTION NO.1
MOTION: Councillor M. Ward
Mayors Business
Taking part in organised physical events has a positive impact on our physical and mental health however single use plastics used in these events have a negative impact on our environment. This Council calls on the Chief Executive to work with all the relevant stakeholders involved in organising both Gael Force and the 10k SEAI race this year in our County, making these events waste free and enabling SDCC to be a leading authority in combating single use plastics.
REPORT:
Meetings are scheduled with the organisers of both the Gael Force event running from Tallaght Stadium, and the 10k race from Grange Castle Business Park. The Motion will be brought to the attention of the event teams. Both events have been run very successfully over recent years with minimum environmental impact.
It should be noted that Gaelforce are proposing to make their 2019 events environmentally friendly.
