COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy, Councillor Alan Edge

That the Area Committee requests a meeting with DLRCC to discuss the issue of concerts in Marlay Park and the impact of the events on local residents in the greater Ballyboden and Rathfarnham areas. 

REPORT:

While SDCC is not the licencing authority for outdoor events at Marley Park, it is acknowledged that there were access, egress and public transport issues which arose during the Marley Park Concerts, especially over the "Longitude" weekend in July 2022, which, due to the venue bordering SDC, may have had knock-on effects within SDCC.

If the motion is passed details of the motion will be forwarded to DLRCC and a copy of the reply when received, will be circulated.
