At a recent South Dublin County Council area committee meeting local Councillor Charlie O’Connor asked if any plans are to be made to provide a Teenspace in the Citywest area, “To ask the Chief Executive if he has any plans to provide a Teenspace in Citywest and will he make a statement.”
The council replied with the following “Public Realm are looking at the possibility of including a Teenspace in Citywest in next year’s Teenspace Programme. We have had some representations from locals regarding a teenspace and we are considering suitable locations. Public Realm have also been in contact with the Community department and Sports Partnership to see how any teenspace may be supported by existing youth programmes and if resources could be allocated for training teens on the use of the equipment as is planned for our other teenspaces. This could be a very important factor in the success of any teenspace. A report will be brought to the ACM in Q2 2021 for the approval of Councillors.”
