MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.3

MOTION: Councillor Sandra Fay

Area Committee commits to including area at Whitestown Stream Jobstown as a funding priority- either as a stand alone project or through the 2022 works projects- with funding streams to be discussed upon managements report on projected costs associated with the area.

REPORT:

The initial report on Whitestown Stream was presented to the March meeting of this area committee, it is currently proposed that the next stage report will be presented to the May meeting.  During previous discussions on this matter it was proposed that the process of identifying and agreeing a set of solutions would be concluded no later than the June meeting of this area committee.  If this is achieved it will be possible for the proposals to be costed and considered during the budget process in the second half of the year. 

It is expected that the level of expenditure required to address certain issues will be such that it cannot be factored into the revenue budget for next year, it would therefore have to be considered during the preparation of the capital works programme and budget.  It is not possible to give any definite commitment on this matter at this stage.  The process to discuss and agree budget priorities will obviously take place later in the year and this will present an opportunity for the Tallaght elected members to seek funding for the agreed proposals as a matter of priority and urgency.
