MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, December 18, 2023

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"That this Tallaght Area Committee calls on the CEO to take immediate action in respect of the views and concerns expressed by the Chair of St Kevins Killians GAA Club in respect of pitches and facilities and regarding the challenges the Club faces in catering for over 500 players, boys and girls from age 2 up to adult level, predominantly from the Kilnamanagh and Kingswood communities; will the CEO appreciate the strong wish of Tallaght Councillors that the Club receive a positive response from the Council and may we have a statement for discussion?"

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
