MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 26, 2023

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"Can the manager report on the Public address system at Tallaght stadium,have the council any plans to upgrade the PA system as the sound is only heard in main stand. Could the manager report on this?"

REPLY:

The current Public Address (PA) system at Tallaght Stadium is in use since 2009. The system is in need of an upgrade to ensure that all the announcements can be heard throughout the Stadium. The PA requirements for a modern stadium hosting 10,000 spectators for a sporting event, or for up to 20,000 for a major event like a concert, are currently under review. It is anticpated that an upgrade of the PA system will take place during 2023, which will also look to include an external public announcement system that would be required as part of any updated system. This is required for public safety and also to assist with safe access into and safe egress from the facility before and after events.
