11th May 2016 - Fine Gael Press Office
Fine Gael Senator, for Dublin Rathdown, Neale Richmond, has welcomed the opening of the Samuel Beckett Civic Campus on the Ballyogan Road, saying the new facility will be a great boost for the local community.
The Campus, named after playwright Samuel Beckett who was born nearby, opened its doors today (Wednesday) at 12pm.
“I am delighted to welcome the opening of the Samuel Beckett Civic Campus today. This is a super new community facility, and is much needed in what is a rapidly growing area with a very young local population.
“The Campus features a gym, a crèche, three grass sports pitches, four artificial sports pitches, a playground, a skating area and changing rooms.
“This is the first phase of this new Campus and the work must now go into planning for the second phase, which includes a swimming pool.
“This is a really valuable community project that has been in development for quite some time and I was delighted to play my part in bringing it about as a local Councillor, by approving the capital spend and by also sitting on the Board of DLR Leisure Services for the past seven years.”
