QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor S. O'Hara

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the dog park for Rathcoole?

REPLY:

A provision of €30,000 was made in the Public Realm Improvement Works Programme in 2021 for the provision of a dog run in Rathcoole Park. The scheme did not progress during that year, as the reinstatement of the park had only just been completed and it was felt necessary to allow the reinstated grass areas to become established. The development of the Rathcoole Masterplan is currently underway and it was considered necessary to allow that process to run it's course before the dog run location would be selected. Once the masterplan has been finalised a suitable location for the dog run will be selected and installation will take place. Procurement of the fencing has already been carried out and this will not delay the project, once a site can be selected.
