To ask the Chief Executive if there are any current plans or future plans for the provision of a Community Living Room in a Public Space in South Dublin County Council area.

The provision of community living rooms is commonplace in most of our community centres in different formats. Arrangements between respective Boards of Management and community centre anchor tenants dictates the local arrangement at each facility.
