MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

In recognising the invaluable and essential pre-school and afterschool service provided by Naoínra Mháirín, whilst building and promoting the Irish language for the past 10, this Committee agrees to assert its commitment to working with the Naíonra and the new management to secure its tenancy in the Lucan Leisure Centre or failing this, within a suitably located premises in proximity to the two existing Gaelscoileanna.

REPORT:

The tender process for operators is now at stage 2 and will continue throughout April.  As previously outlined, the tender for a new facility operator requires that they use the campus to support local community/sporting groups and schools, including appropriate community access and sports inclusivity. There is no guarantee that accommodation for childcare can be provided within the new complex at this time. Should the Naoínra Mháirín require further advice or support from SDCC the can contact us directly on the matter.
