MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor L. Sinclair

Following the success of the 'Learn 2 Cycle with a Disability' program run by Fingal CC, that management run a similar program here in South Dublin County.

REPORT:

The Council are already active in this area and work closely with our neighbouring authorities to share and learn from each other. To date the Council has purchased a trishaw and is working with a volunteer group in the County who take people out on cycle trips (usually elderly and younger people with a disability) in Dodder Valley Park. For the month of June they have had 18 confirmed bookings so far. The Council is also progressing the recruitment of a Disabbility Sports Officer who will be able to support and expand on this work as well.
