COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 29, 2021

MOTION NO. 26

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

To call on the manager to engage with Park Run and Department of Health to work to support ParK Run restart whilst abiding by HSE guidelines.

REPORT:

While contact has been made with Parkrun Ireland to offer assistance to restart events in the County, they are waiting until public health guidelines permit gathering in suffiicent numbers to allow parkruns to operate similarly to before.

As a national organisation, a principal challenge in resuming their activities is to progress a singular risk control framework across all their partner landowners and in this regard the Council's Public Realm section will now be examining Parkrun Ireland's proposed risk assessment and public liability insurance details to be ready to start parkruns again as soon as the easing of restrictions allow.
