MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, December 18, 2023

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"This Area Committee supports the need for St Kevin's/ Killian's GAA club to secure long term, protected access to pitches and the necessary club facilities to ensure that it can provide for its current and future members and guests. The area is extremely fortunate to have such a vibrant and committed club in the area and the Area Committee calls on Management to engage directly with the club and Councillors and to use the Councils' experience, links and resources to find a workable and sustainable solution that ensures the continuation of the clubs great work?"

REPORT:

SDCC allocate pitches to clubs through an annual licence on a yearly basis as the pitches are part of our public open space.

SDCC are now reviewing the pavilion programme to achieve better value for money and ensure progression of pavilion delivery. Kilnamanagh open space will be considered for changing room facilities as part of that process. The review will be presented to the council in Q1 2024.

We are happy to meet with the club at any time to discuss. This can be arranged by emailing Public Realm at publicrealm@sdublincoco.ie
