Chapter 8: Community Infrastructure and Open Space

Select Proposed Amendment on which you are commenting: 
Amendment 8.5 8.4 Social/Community Infrastructure To read:

To support the clustering of community facilities such as community centres, sports and leisure facilities, schools, childcare facilities and open spaces to create multi-purpose community hubs without negatively restricting the range of services for all ages provided in any one centre.

We welcome this and further suggest 3 words to improve the intent.

...services for all ages.

Amendment 8.20 Section 8.11 Higher Level Education and Further Education Facilities To read:

To facilitate and encourage cross-collaboration between business and employment clusters and TU Dublin Tallaght Campus to drive research innovation and increase employment opportunities in the County

We strongly reject the removal of " Tallaght Campus" from this objective.
The Tallaght community founght long and hard to retain Tallaght in the actual name of TU Dublin Tallaght Campus. This plan should not dilute the name of the 3rd level centre in the County, which is in Tallaght.
Amendment 8.21   Amend COS9 Objective 4 from:

To promote and facilitate the development of Tallaght as a centre for education and employment.

To read:

To promote and facilitate the development of Tallaght as a centre for learning, education

We request clarity that the word "employment" is not being dropped in this objective.
Amendment 8.23 Amend COS11 Objective 8 from: To read:

To prepare a feasibility study for the development of Arts and Culture Infrastructure within the County, taking into account of areas without any such infrastructure, and transport links.

We need to query how this objective sits beneath the Arts & Culture cluster Tallaght was identified as and the concept of the County town being a central location for amenities and services in order to establish, and succed.
