MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 15

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"That the Chief Executive reports on progress if any in identifying suitable additional buildings for sports clubs and community groups in the Palmerstown area, including looking at options in Cherry Orchard Industrial estate; and if a statement can be made on the matter."

REPORT:

Staff from the Community Department are engaging with local community groups and representatives from the Palmerstown area to examine current and future community facility requirements, including possible synergies and potential for increaesed cooperation and efficiencies between existing groups in the area.   This follows a survey last year of existing community facility structures, usage, forward planning and resources, particularly in the context of the additional governance supports being provided by the Council for local boards of managements.  However, there are no current plans within the Council's Three-Year Capital programme 2023-2025 for the development of additional community facilities in the area.
