MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, October 21, 2019

QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"To ask the Chief Executive to please update on the allocation of pitches in Dodder Valley, Tallaght that will be serviced by the new pavilion.  Are arrangements in place to ensure Dodder Valley pitches and pavilion are fully utilised?"

REPLY:

"The Pavilion with associated car park at Old Bawn commenced on site early this year and is currently under construction. The pitches at Old Bawn have temporarily been left un-allocated in order to allow the Council to level, mark out and re-line the pitches. This also allows the Council to review the pitches in line with the Sports Pitch Strategy in the interests of maximising the utilisation of the pitches. The work on the pitches will commence shortly. Once completed and the pitch surfaces are established and playable these pitches will be allocated for match play in line with the Council’s Pitch Allocation Policies. In addition Public Realm are developing a system with IT to allow the pavilion be booked on line by groups utilising the pitches. This system has recently been tendered for."
