COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

MOTION NO.6

MOTION: Councillor D. Ó Brádaigh

This area committee agrees that Collinstown Football Club be given permission to install cages, to store mobile goal posts similar to that in Mount Andrew Park, and for the manager to please outline the process that Collinstown Football Club must undertake to acquire permission to have these or something similar installed in Collinstown Park, while outlining what funding options are available to the club?

REPORT:

The provision of storage compounds is subject to the proximity of existing storage facilities in the area and a source of funding to install one if considered appropriate.  The council does not provide permission to clubs to install compounds.  The storage facilities which have been provided at other locations in recent years have been generally funded by sports capital grant allocations with the Council providing the necessary 30% match funding for each project.  Compounds have also been provided by SDCC where an alternative source of funding has been identified.

Collinstown FC will be included for consideration for the provision of a goal post storage compound subject to the identification of a source of funding.
