MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

This committee welcomes notice given to Manortown United FC of a the recent allocation of €20,000 from South Dublin County Council. This Committee understands that one of the conditions of funding is for the removal of one of the containers adjacent to the main pitch. In advance of the drawing down of the funding this Committee requests the following: 1) Support be provided by the Council for the removal of the disused container. 2) Consideration be given to providing a lock up area adjacent to the main pitch similar to the lock up area that was funded previously by the Council that is beside the junior pitch.

REPORT:

The Council's Public Realm Section intends providing a goal post storage facility in the '5 acres' section of Greenhills Park as referred to in this motion.  It should be noted that there is no allocation of funding to the club Manortown United, it is however expected that the storage facility will cost in the region of €20,000 to provide and the Council has committed to this expenditure.  The Public Realm Section will liaise with the Manortown Utd club regarding the removal of the container which is no longer in use.
