MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, October 13, 2025

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the Chief Executive if the South Dublin County Council holds a database of residents associations and groups and whether consideration has ever been given to arranging events to bring together groups to interact, network and share ideas?

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council does not maintain a database of Residents’ Associations or community groups. This function is undertaken by the South Dublin County Public Participation Network (PPN) and the public directory is available on the PPN website here. The Council strongly encourages all residents’ associations and community groups to register with the PPN to receive timely information on relevant initiatives, as well as opportunities to access grant schemes and other supports. In addition, the PPN regularly organises networking events to facilitate collaboration, knowledge-sharing, linkage groups, and capacity-building among its member organisations. It is through the South Dublin PPN that local community representatives for the Council's Strategic Policy Committee's, the LCDC and the upcoming Community Safety Partnership, as well as other forums and committees are nominated.
