MOTION NO.16

MOTION: Councillor Peter Kavanagh

"This Area Committee congratulates South Dublin County Council on the success of Urban Picnic at Corkagh Park and calls for its permanent inclusion in Corkagh Park for 2022."

REPORT: 

The food and craft market at Corkagh Park took place over 8 weeks in September and October 2021 and was run as a trail event. The market provided street food, crafts, fresh and artisan produce, with elements of family entertainment. This type of outdoor market helps promote the local community while enhancing the attraction of parks and tourism in the County. The market was received well by all accounts.

A process will commence over the next few weeks with the market operator and other stakeholders to evaluate the market and to bring forward any learnings to any similar events to be planned in the future.
