MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

That the Chief Executive organises a meeting with DLR Representatives in relation to the Marlay Park Concerts and the difficulties SDCC residents have while the concerts are ongoing, especially the Grangebrook and Moyville Estates.  

REPORT:

Major events are licenced under the Planning and Development (Licensing of Outdoor Events) Regulations, 2001 (as amended).

Under Article 184 (1) of the Regulations, as part of consideration of proposals for major events, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council engages in pre-application consultation meeting(s) with the person concerned in order to discuss the proposed event(s) and invites prescribed bodies to attend the meeting.  South Dublin County Council is one such body and in recent years SDCC personnel have attended meetings relative to Marley Park concerts. 

It is understood that the next such proposed Marley Park concert meeting is scheduled for March 2020 and South Dublin County Council will be represented.

In the meantime, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown officials have agreed to meet Elected Members of this Area Committee before the April 2020 meeting of Rathfarnham/Templeogue/Firhouse/Bohernabreena Committee at which issues of concern can be discussed.
