Tallaght LAP Special meeting

Re. 4.1 Economic Development and Tourism

That actively marketing Tallaght as the gateway to the mountains, while including the urban and rural parts of Tallaght is a key objective of this LAP.

REPORT:

It is a core objective of the LAP through the Movement and Urban Framework to maintain and facilitate links within and links between the Town Centre and adjoining areas including Sean Walsh Park and the Dublin Mountain Way. It is also an objective of the LAP to support the development of a sustainable tourism industry for Tallaght that maximises the recreational and tourism potential of the County. The delivery of this objective is managed by the Public Realm and Tourism Departments.

The actual marketing of this is a matter beyond the scope of the LAP, more appropriately addressed as part of the South Dublin Tourism Strategy via the Economic and Tourism Department.

RECOMMENDATION:

Agreed, as provided for in the Draft LAP and/or recommended chief executive amendments contained in the CE Report.
