COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, December 20, 2022
MOTION NO. 11
MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh
To ask the manager to investigate the legitimate ongoing requests by AGP FC, to provision for a safe and suitable changing room and storage facility and in reasonable proximity to their playing grounds.
REPORT:
A pavilion has been provided in Griffeen Valley Park adjacent to the Newcastle Road car park. The pavilion includes suitable changing rooms and storage facilities and is located between 360 - 450 metres from the two pitches assigned to AGP FC. The pavilion is available for use for clubs in the area. Given the proximity of the pavilion to the pitches there are no proposals to provide additional pavilion type facilities in this section of Griffeen Valley Park.
Following a request from AGP FC for storage facilities in the park, a goal post storage compound was installed beside Pitch 4 in 2015. This was increased in size in autumn 2021 to accommodate additional goals again at the request of AGP FC.
The Public Realm Section has accommodated AGP FC with all their requests for storage facilities in so far as possible and considers the current level of facilities provision consistent if not better than other clubs in the area. Should AGP FC still require further facilities then they should submit a proposal in writing to the Public Realm Administration Section for consideration.
