QUESTION NO.21

QUESTION: Councillor C. Brady

To ask the Chief Executive whether South Dublin County Council has developed or is considering a specific strategy to support and grow the night-time economy in the LEA, and if so, to outline what measures are included and the expected timeframe for implementation.

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council is currently in the final stages of developing an Evening Time Economy (ETE) Strategy for Tallaght. This work aligns with Action 5.3.5 of the South Dublin Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP), which aims “to develop South Dublin as an evening and night-time destination which can offer a sustainable, vibrant, cultural, and diverse experience to citizens and visitors.”

This action was included in the first two-year implementation plan for the LECP. The ETE Strategy will identify a number of key actions required to grow and sustain the evening time economy and has been developed in collaboration with all relevant stakeholders.

In addition, as part of the initial two-year implementation plan, one of the key outcomes is to conduct a review of the existing ETE Strategy to determine the requirement for developing additional strategies in other areas across South Dublin.
