MOTION NO.17

MOTION: Councillor D. Ó Brádaigh

This local area committee calls on Council management to support the prioritisation and ringfencing of necessary funding within future Council / Capital Programme budgeting measures, that identify much needed community space, to be realised through the acquisition of existing buildings or dedicated new builds.

REPORT:

The Council's 3 Year Capital Programme has set out a comprehensive plan with matching budgetary commitments, to facilitate the roll out of a significant amount of additional community space, to help meet the recreational needs of the growing population in our County.

The Programme which is reviewed on an annual basis, includes for both a series new build community facilities for areas such as Saggart, Newcastle, Citywest, Orchard Lodge, Balgaddy, Ballycullen, Clonburris, Killinarden Foothills and Kilcarberry and the extension of a number of existing community centres, including Ballyroan, The Park, Knockmitten and Perrystown.

In addition budgetary provisions have also been made within the Council's capital budgets to facilitate the fabric upgrade of a number of the Council's existing Community Facilities, with works currently being progressed by Architectural services for major upgrades to Quarryvale and Jobstown Community Centres.
