QUESTION NO. 24

QUESTION: Councillor N. Fennell

To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the dressing room Pavilion programme, a schedule of works on the programme and to give a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

SDCC’s pavillion programme was agreed by the Council as part of its commitment to the health and well-being of its citizens. As clubs grow and develop, facilities such as changing rooms, and secure storage areas become essential to a club’s sustainability and success. A review of the pavillion programme was carried out and presented to the Council in April 2024. The review process identified a requirement for additional capital provision in the 2025 budget which will be proposed later in the year. The programme will deliver sports changing rooms at 10 locations across the county, to facilitate groups using adjacent pitches / sport in parks as set out in the list below: 

1.Griffeen Valley Park (Part 8 approved)

2.Corkagh Park ORR (Part 8 approved)

3.Dodder Valley Mt Carmel (Part 8 approved)

4.Collinstown Park

5.Griffeen Valley / Arthur Griffith Park

6.Tymon Park South 

7.Kilnamanagh Open Space

8.Sean Walsh Park Artificial Pitch

10. Willsbrook Park
