South Dublin County Council Crest

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, May 26, 2025

MOTION NO.

MOTION: Councillor N. Whelan

"This area committee requests that a permanent play space is added to the green area beside 2 Bawn Avenue, to replace the one recently removed due to safety concerns?"

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council had a Playground Construction Programme from 2014 to 2020 where we built around 40 new play areas around the County. That programme has finished, and we currently do not have funding allocated to construct new play areas. We are however currently writing a new Play Policy for the County. As part of that we are analysing the current playground provision and identifying areas where there is a deficit of provision. The Policy will ensure we target future playground provision in areas where there is a need and a demand for play facilities. We will note your request for play facilities in the green near Old Bawn Avenue and ensure it gets consideration in any future playground construction programme.
