HEADED ITEM NO. 17

HEADED ITEM: C. Performance and Change Management Directorate

SELECTION OF LEA FOR €300K HAVE YOUR SAY - FOR APPROVAL

REPLY:

‘€300K Have Your Say’ is a participatory budgeting initiative which was run by South Dublin County Council in the Lucan local electoral area in 2017, the Clondalkin local electoral area in 2018, Firhouse Bohernabreena in 2019 and Tallaght Central in 2021. The initiative encourages local residents to develop project proposals for their local area and a public vote is then held on the shortlisted proposals. The winning projects to the value of €300,000 from the Council budget are then delivered in the following budgetary cycle by the Council. 

The selection of the next local electoral area is now before the Council. The following local electoral areas will be included in the selection process at the February Council meeting. Selection is by way of the Mayor selecting an area from a hat.

• Tallaght South (including Saggart)
• Rathfarnham Templeogue

Please note that Saggart is included alongside Tallaght South to ensure they do not miss out due to the 2019 electoral boundary change.
