QUESTION NO.20

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the repair works being carried out on the GAA pitch in Griffeen Park, including details on the progress of the works, the success of measures to address surface and flood issues, and the expected timelines for the pitch to be back in use.

REPLY:

Contractors are currently on site carrying out cut and fill and levelling work on the pitch at Griffeen Park. This work will continue through into February and March when main and lateral drains will be installed to improve drainage. It is anticipated that the pitch will then be regraded and new grass sown in April when it is the optimum time for germination. Normally 12 months is allowed for full establishment, if favourable conditions facilitate growth.
