personally like to see the racemeeting stay there and utilise the
open space more,such as playground, park and improve the running/athletics side of it.
hard to understand the thinking behind moving the race meet out of town when you can walk from town to the track have some scoops an a wager and be no hassle to no-one.
instead:lets take it to the sticks!

I'd agree.
You always see these great community 'pushes' for playgrounds in large towns and cities..... after they have been open a couple of monyhs, there are empty.
Seen it all over UK and Dublin .... todays kids don't want to play on the swings (or the parents can't be arsed going outside with them).
Heard a headmaster from rural Tipperary school during the week. School had 238 pupils. He conducted a survey on that particular day. One student (yes 1) had cycled to school that day.
When I was at school, not too long ago:eek:....god help anyone that tried to cross the road in front of the school exit peleton.0 -

He can surprise you can t he?First of all thats in relation to a meeting just over a year ago so Im sure its done and dusted by now. The thing to note that the Section 140 motion first of all must have the support of two thirds of the elected members in that particular electoral area. When the motion has been signed by the appropriate members it is then sent to the County Manager for inclusion in the next full meeting of the County Council where it can then be proposed by any elected member from any electoral area.
