QUESTION NO. 29

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Can the Chief Executive confirm if there are any snooker clubs for young people in the county? These were a great amenity in many areas years ago and I believe there would be real interest and benefit in bringing them back with Council support.

REPLY:

SDCC are not responsible for the operation of any snooker clubs. There are a number of pool tables located in our community centres and are available for use through the youth services operating in the centres. Knockmitten Community Centre and the County Library, Tallaght have pool tables available for use by the public. The library run pool tournaments for teens as part of their youth provision.

Community groups can apply for funding towards the purchase of a snooker or pool table through our community grants  scheme.
