West Kerry playground
Deputy Daly said the OPW has delayed signing a lease for a promised playground in west Kerry despite funding and planning permission, and cited another community playground issue in Ballyduff. The Minister said he would find out what is delaying the project and would raise it with the relevant officials.
D’aontaigh Oifig na nOibreacha Poiblí suíomh a thabhairt don phobal i nDún Chaoin chun clós súgartha a chruthú ag Ionad an Bhlascaoid sa bhliain 2021.
Tá €40,000 faighte acu. Tá cead pleanála ann. Tá deontas ó NEWKD ach níl an léas sínithe fós. The OPW agreed to give a playground to the community in west Kerry in 2021. There is still no lease signed by its officials. Tá an t-am ag sleamhnú agus gan aon rian den chlós súgartha le feiscint. They have no answer. It is frustrating to deal with the OPW. Even in Ballyduff it agreed to consider a playground for the community there. The Rattoo tower is still open. We cannot even get an answer, never mind a result from them.

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta as an gceist seo atá tábhachtach do mhuintir Chiarraí. I will try to find out what the issue is with that. I do not have the information in respect to it. There certainly should be a playground in west Kerry. I am surprised that there is not. I would have thought there should be one around Dingle. I will raise it with the relevant officials and come back to the Deputy.
