MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That this Area Committee recognises the need for community space and the possibilities of Clondalkin Civic offices, including art space, music events, international and modern dances, art exhibitions, craft exhibitions, drama productions, lectures, spaces, and requests further discussions with elected members before a decision is made.

REPORT:

Clondalkin Civic Offices is a place of access for visitors who are attending meetings with officials and Councillors, as well as people making payments to the Cash Office, people who work in the building including Council staff, creche staff and the children, parents using the creche, and staff and clients of offices that are rented to external organisations.

Any individual enquiry for use of the space will take these activities and needs into account when considering the request, as they cannot be negatively impacted by any event. The nature of an exhibition/event may mean that the space is not a suitable venue.

The Council's network of libraries across the county facilitate lectures and exhibitions for local artists and the Arts Office provides bursaries to support the development of local artists.
