MOTION NO.3

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Cathaoirleach's Business

This committee requests that the Chief Executive (CE) provide a report on the current status of the casual volleyball feature placed in Griffeen. The report should assess the usage, condition, and effectiveness of the feature. Additionally, the committee seeks to explore the possibility of progressing this amenity further by developing a plan to install an adequate playing surface to support volleyball and enhance recreational opportunities in the area.

REPORT:

The volleyball court in Griffeen Valley Park was installed in 2023 on a trial basis to increase the variety of recreation amenities available within the park.  The initiative was a joint venture between Volleyball Ireland and South Dublin County Council.  The net was replaced on one occasion since installation due to vandalism.  The facility is being used by park visitors on a casual basis.  To improve the appeal of the facility the ground where it is located has been listed in the draft 2025 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme for upgrading to make the area more level and uniform.
