MOTION NO.9

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

This committee agrees to install sports equipment 'Box Up' lending facilities in both Corkagh Park and Rathcoole Park such as are being installed in DLR. More information here : https://www.fm104.ie/news/fm104-news/sporting-equipment-will-be-available-free-of-charge-in-dublin-parks/

REPORT: 

South Dublin Co Sports Partnership through its Active Cities programme has recently installed 2 Box Up units in Dodder Valley & Beechfield Park respectively. The units were installed on a pilot basis and should they prove popular we will look to expand their provision and examine other sites in the County. As the funding for the Active Cities programme comes through the Dormant Accounts Fund we have also to be aware of what level of funding we receive as this may affect equipment provision.
