QUESTION NO. 27

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive if he has had any contact from Tennis Ireland in respect of what they see is the need for tennis facilities; will he furnish details and make a statement?

REPLY:

The Council actively engages with Parks Tennis to promote tennis locally as well as providing facilities including the recent delivery of three new tennis court facilities in Airlie Park, Lucan. These new courts are also supported by the provision of the adjacent changing room pavillion and coffee shop in the park. The Council have also upgraded existing tennis facilities at Dodder Valley and Beechfield Parks, both of which were requested by members of the local community and have been well received. The provision of box up facilities at these locations also supports the storage of equipment and facilities use.
