To seek an update on the motion passed in 2024 regarding the exploration of possibilities for additional youth space in the Lucan/Adamstown area, specifically by investigating access to one of the units at The Crossings, Adamstown. This motion requests clarification on whether progress has been made and, if so, asks that details of any developments or plans be provided.

REPORT:

An application has been made from a youth service provider under the Community Recognition Funding to operate a youth space in The Crossings. This application is still waiting approval from the Department of Rural and Community Development (DRCD). The Council have made provision of €50,000 in the 2025 Budget to fund a youth facility in the Adamstown area. 

We are currently awaiting notification from the DRCD regarding the announcement of the successful projects under the Community Recognition Fund Round 2.
