MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Cathaoirleach’s Business

To ask the CE if there has been any engagement with the Ucan committee/Crosscare regarding the development of a youth space in Adamstown. Additionally, to seek clarification on how the €50,000 budget allocated for youth services in Adamstown will be processed to ensure it is used as intended specifically for securing access to units in The Crossings for youth services. Furthermore, to request that the Council provide any necessary guidance and support to facilitate the establishment of this much needed facility for young people in the area.

REPORT:

We have recently engaged in discussion with Crosscare regarding the delivery of services in this area and how they intend to deliver increased programs and use of the funding they received from the Community Recognition Fund.   

Discussions have also taken place with the The Crossings to assess the bast possible location for the facility and to see if any of the units are suitable but use of the units in this complex is subject to use as defined in the granted planning permission.  

We have requested more detailed information from Crosscare and when received will see how this proposal can be progressed and a decision made over the best use of the €50,000 in the revenue budget allocated for youth services in Adamstown.
