MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.19

MOTION: Councillor M. Lynch

That this committee calls on the manager to create a map of the Dodder Greenway including places of interest for the SDCC area which can be accessed through the heritage app and SDCC website.

REPORT: 

South Dublin County Heritage Trail app contains trails which tell the story of the history and heritage of Clondalkin, Tallaght, and Rathfarnham villages through text, images and audio in 8 languages, (Irish, English, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian and Arabic). Work is underway in developing a trail for Templeogue, Saggart, and Rathcoole.

Whilst extensive aspects of the Dodder Greenway have been completed and are being used, the full project (within South Dublin County) still has some time to go before it is substantially complete.  

With this in mind, it is felt prudent to hold off on developing a full digital map of the Dodder Greenway including places of interest, before works are completed. Any trail addition will respond to any proposed marketing strategy around the completed trail and will be subject to funding approval. There is no provision in the budget for expenditure for this trail at this time.
