MOTION NO. 143

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy

That this County Development Plan provides for a running track and athletics facility for the use by local athletics clubs in Tymon Park to support the increased number of people within the county taking up running and athletics.

REPORT:

The South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028 will support the development of sports and leisure facilities at appropriate locations within the County.

This motion is overly specific for this stage of the process.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment to recognise that this type of policy provision or objective is overly detailed for this strategic stage but could be considered as part of the draft plan preparation on foot of the strategic direction provided under the CE Recommendation

‘Support policies and objectives that protect and enhance existing community resources and support the development and expansion of new facilities and services in proximity to the populations they serve where their need is identified, and resources allow’.
