QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask for an update on Gael na Nog's access to pitches in the Lucan and Palmerstown Fonthill Electoral Areas including any meetings with Club officials.

REPLY:

SDCC currently have 16 GAA pitches of various sizes north of the N7, 14 of these were available for the 2024/2025 allocation season with 2 pitches unavailable for necessary maintenance works. 

SDCC's pitch allocations are done through club applications on an annual basis. Clubs can submit applications via South Dublin's Sportskey system for pitches.

With regard to Na Gaeil Óga, SDCC met with the club in early 2024 regarding their needs for the 2024/2025 season. When the pitch allocations were completed by SDCC, the club was allocated pitches in Corkagh Park and Tandy's Lane. SDCC are in regular communication with the club. The club has not raised any issues with SDCC in relation to their allocation.
