MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 28, 2023

MOTION NO.9

MOTION: Councillor D. Ó Brádaigh

That this committee notes the increased demand for a dog run in West Lucan and in so doing, asks that the manager agrees to identify a suitable location west of the Newcastle R120 Road for same, and to make a statement on the matter.

REPORT:

Dog runs typically occupy and area of between 4,000 and 5,000 square metres.  The dog run in Griffeen Valley Park is 5,200 square metres in size and measures approximately 65 metres x 80 metres. An examination of parks to the west of the R120 has been carried out and there is no park or open space suitable or large enough to accommodate a dog run.  The nearest dog run west of the R120 is in St Catherines Park which can be accessed from Lucan Demesne across a pedestrian footbridge.
