MOTION NO.11

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That this Area Committee supports padel courts in Clondalkin area to our parks or recreational areas as this could have a positive impact on the local community. Padel is a great game and would be a great amenity for 1,000's of people in our Community.(Padel is often described as a mixture of tennis and squash, and it is now the fastest growing sport in the world.)

REPORT:

We have had a number of conversations with the two different Padel Federations in Ireland and are exploring all options. We fully recognise that it a fast-growing sport and that its introduction to the area would generate great interest. South Dublin County Leisure Services are looking at the potential of providing courts. We will continue to build a relationship with the Federations and seek to provide a Padel amenity if possible
