QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To request an update from the Chief Executive on the plans for the car park extension at Griffeen Park, Hayden’s Lane. As part of these plans, it was agreed that the existing storage unit, once removed, would be reinstalled as part of the extension project.

REPLY:

The upgrade works that are taking place at the GAA pitch nearest Hayden’s Lane Car Park has reduced the volume of traffic using the car park due to the unavailability of the pitch for matches and training. In addition to this, the swimming pool car park is expected to be coming into operation when the pool project is completed.  Both developments have an impact on car park usage at Hayden’s Lane and the assessment to determine the need to extend the car park would need to take this into account.  At this stage there is no current proposal to extend the car park. 

The proposal for storage facilities is to provide a goal post storage compound and remove the existing containers.  There are no proposals to reinstall the containers.  SDCC were successful in a Sports Capital Grant application for the provision of a goal post storage compound and this project will be progress in 2025.
