The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government have provided funding for landscape works and a play area at Balgaddy, according to Local Fianna Fáil T.D. and Minister John Curran.
Welcoming this announcement Minister Curran said: “This Funding is being provided within the Social Housing Investment Programme 2010 to enable landscaping works and a play area to be provided on the undeveloped portion of the overall housing master plan area in Balgaddy.
These works when completed will greatly enhance the public realm for the substantial community now housed in the completed phases of the Balgaddy scheme. The provision of a play area in Balgaddy is especially welcome, I have been calling for play facilities in this area and I am delighted South Dublin County Council are committed to providing this and that funding has been allocated for this development
Documentation is currently being prepared for Part 8 public notification and for tender purposes. Initial preparatory work on site will commence over the summer months,” concluded Minister Curran.
