MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 16, 2021

MOTION NO. 20

MOTION: Councillor William Joseph Carey

"This Committee recognises that the pet farm in Corkagh Park has been a wonderful amenity and attraction for families from Clondalkin and right across the County and furthermore calls on the Council to reconsider the decision to close the pet farm in Corkagh Park permanently so it can be enjoyed by generations to come."

REPORT:

Following a long period of partial closure and restricted public access to the pet farm, the Council was concerned about welfare of the birds and the ability to look after them properly. This led to the decision to rehome them. While there are no current proposals to reopen the pet farm, the future use of the area occupied by the pet farm will be considered as part of the progression of the Corkagh Park Masterplan.
