MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

MOTION NO. 16

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

That this Area Committee asks that the manager agrees to install toilets, facilities and pavilions at Rathcoole Park. 

REPORT:

As previously reported to this area committee the preferred Land-Use and Movement Concept for the area incorporating the South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028 was presented to Council at the May 2023 Council Meeting. The Housing Department is currently progressing a design with a view to a future planning proposal.  The car parking arrangements for the new residential areas, the proposed pavillion and additional playing fields and the interaction with the existing park require consideration through the progression of the concept to a planning proposal.

The above proposal includes open space areas that will be considered in tandem with future plans for Rathcoole Park. Public Realm is engaging with the Housing Department through that process, ensuring proposals such as the proposal for the pavillion are integrated into the existing and proposed park uses.
