SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 27, 2025

MOTION NO. 22

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to consider the installation of a water tap within the Griffeen Dog Park as an addition to the works already carried out in the park. While there is a river nearby it is not always safe or suitable for dogs to drink from particularly during warmer months or after heavy rainfall. The provision of a water tap would offer a reliable and convenient source of drinking water for dogs and would greatly assist dog owners who bring bowls or bottles to the park. This request has been raised by a number of regular park users and would represent a simple yet valuable enhancement to the existing amenities.

REPORT:

The provision of a water supply is currently being investigated and is subject to the availability of a water source in the area and the approval from Uisce Eireann to facilitate a connection.  Should it prove feasible a tap will be listed for consideration in the draft Public Realm Improvement Works Programme for 2026.
