SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 27, 2022

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

Further to previous motions and questions submitted. To now ask the manager that greater clarification be provided, giving clear commitment that the remaining grass / kickabout (unofficial pitch) area beside the clubhouse on the Newcastle Road, will be reinstated to a suitable playing pitch condition, and that this committee agree in the interim to locating a temporary container facility and portaloo to the lower end of the park and until the completion of phase 2 of the teenspace works, in meeting the needs of young players between the ages of 4-9yrs.

REPORT:

The open space area to the south of the teenspace is being levelled and reseeded as part of the final phase of the teenspace works. The plan is to ensure the site is suitable for general amenity use including use as an unofficial kickabout area. 

Works on the teenspace are almost complete.  The new basketball areas, calisthenics equipment, seating, music post and swing are all finished. The works still underway include the completion of the teenspace mini-kickabout area and installation of the goal posts. Levelling and seeding the remaining open space area south of the teenspace area will be undertaken in the next month when ground conditions are more favourable. 

There are no proposals to install a temporary container and portaloo to the lower end of the park while works are taking place.  The existing clubhouse facility is not impacted by the works and is available for use.
