QUESTION NO. 18

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive if the markings on the wall ball are still within the plans. It was understood that sport markings would be part of the design.

REPLY:

The markings were not part of the original ball wall plans however Public Realm have asked the teenspace contractor to investigate if markings for a number of sports could be added to the wall.  We are also looking at painting the walls to give a visual lift to the space and minimise the visual impact of some unsavoury graffiti which has been added on occasions. The painting of the walls in Ballycragh Park is a great example of how art can be used to add vibrancy to a space and increase it appeal to teenagers so something similar is being considered for the ball wall.
