MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 27, 2021

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor L. Whelan

"With regard to members rep ID 1238975, commitments were given from the council that this would be included in the public works realm, will the council confirm are there plans to implement this or can you confirm the current status. This is a safety concern for young families in Árd Mór. The green space should be a safe area for children to play"?

REPLY:

Regrettably the reply issued to the members rep ID 1238975 was incorrect.  The matter was raised again on the business of the Tallaght area committee meeting in December 2019, motion number 8.  On that occasion the record was corrected, the reponse given then advised the proposer of the motion that the Council's Public Realm Section does not fence off public open spaces in housing estates as to do so makes these areas too difficult to maintain.  The reply further confirmed that there are no plans to erect a fence around the open space in Ard Mor estate.
