MOTION NO.36

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty, Councillor L. O'Toole, Councillor F. Timmons, Councillor Alan Edge

Tallaght LAP Special Meeting

Re. 4.1 Economic Development and Tourism

That the Council strategically review the inclusion of astro-pitches in the west section of Sean Walsh Park as a key project given the known flood risk and the fact that this is an identified wetland and that the west sector of the park remain for passive recreation on the DMW route and that it considers as an alternative site for astro-pitches the field beside the stadium that fronts to the N81.

REPORT:

The Council still remains committed to the location of astro-pitches within Sean Walsh Park. Due to a number of factors including those outlined in the motion, the specific location of astro-pitches in Sean Walsh Park is still under review by the Public Realm Section. While Section 8.5 of the Plan does reference a future project to provide astro-pitches in the park, the detail of the Town Park neighbourhood does not specify a location.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
