MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, April 27, 2026

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"Can the Manager report on use of Astro at Tallaght stadium and report on booking and how much it is used weekly?"

REPLY:

The 3G pitch at Sean Walsh Park is well utilised, averaging at 50 hours usage per week with clubs from within the catchment area and outside, continuously benefiting from the top-class facilities of the artificial grass pitch. The full 3G pitch accounts for the majority of bookings and hours, with half-pitch bookings providing additional flexibility and capacity. Usage is strongest during weekday evenings, with heavy weekend daytime activity. Please see attached statistics available for the usage of this facility.
