MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 23, 2025

MOTION NO.6

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Can the Chief Executive provide an update on any progress made in relation to the installation of outdoor chess tables in open spaces and parks within the Lucan area as per the motion I previously brought forward and which was agreed by this Committee?

REPORT:

The provision of outdoor chess tables will be listed for consideration in the draft 2026 Public Realm Improvement Works Programme which will be presented at the ACM in January 2026.  While it might not be possible to locate tables near a facility or café that will retain chess pieces, it is envisaged that users can always take their own pieces with them to use.
