COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 23, 2023

MOTION NO. 23

MOTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

That the Chief Executive consider the installation of mobile equipment storage units in Griffeen Park (additional) and Collinstown Park, given the lack of pavillions in both parks.

REPORT:

Sports Capital Funding has been granted for a pavilion in Griffeen Valley Park and in Collinstown Park.  The Griffeen Valley Park pavilion has been retendered following a previous unsuccessful tender competition.  The tender is currently open.  The Collinstown Park pavilion is scheduled for progression after the above tender is substantially underway.

The provision of storage compounds is subject to the proximity of existing storage facilities in the area and a source of funding to install one if considered appropriate.  The storage facilities which have been provided at other locations in recent years have been funded by sports capital grant allocations with the Council providing the necessary 30% match funding for each project.  It should be noted however that the next round of sports capital grants has not opened as yet for applications.
