QUESTION NO.18

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the use of pitches in the new parks in Adamstown and what system will be in place and will local schools get priority and if he will make a statement on the matter

REPLY:

The 1 no. size GAA grass pitch, 2 no. soccer pitches in Tandy's Lane Park will be allocated in accordance with the Council's - Allocation of Pitch / Sporting Facilities – Policy and Conditions.  The Council does not allocate pitches to schools however we have no objection to school's using the pitches during school hours only.   

The pitches in Airlie Park, which consist of 1 no. cricket pitch, 1 no. Adult size GAA artificial pitch and 2 no. soccer artificial pitches are not currently open, it is envisaged they will open in Q3 2022.

The all weather pitches in Airlie Park will be bookable through an online booking system.  We will be meeting with the clubs in the area to examine expressions of interest in the near future.
