MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 26, 2023

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

That this committee requests that the CE introduces outdoor chess/checkers tables into either Griffeen or new parks in Adamstown or both. See sample photos attached. Chess pieces can be held in local coffee dock /shops and location should be considered as to whether in shaded area, sunshine area, or both.

REPORT:

The provision of a chess/checkers table is subject to the availability of a suitable coffee dock/shop to retain the playing pieces and loan them out normally for a small refundable deposit.  Currently there are no suitable facilities for this in either park.  When the coffee shop in Airlie Park opens this suggestion will be brought to the attention of the operator for their consideration to retain playing pieces on a voluntary basis.
