MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, February 26, 2024

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO what actions are being taken to ensure that 2024 is the last year when the people of Tallaght will be left without a St Patricks Day Parade; will he appreciate the widespread disappointment throughout the Tallaght community especially when one considers that other local areas in the County will have Parades; will he give assurances and make a statement?"

REPLY:

Community St Patricks Day Parades have historically and continue to be delivered by a variation of established localised committees. The Tallaght Committee unfortunately disbanded post covid and as a result there has not been a St Patricks Day Parade in Tallaght since 2020. The Community Development Team have been endeavouring to establish a new committee. Exploratory meetings with potential new members have been positive and we are very optimistic of forming a new committee which will lead the delivery of a parade in 2025.
