Throughout my career I have been involved in the design, provision and maintenance of Sports & Recreational Facilities and Public Playgrounds.

As Head of Parks in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown I was heavily involved in producing the Council’s Sports Facilities Strategy “Space to Play”. https://www.dlrcoco.ie/sites/dlrcoco/files/atoms/files/dlr_sports_facillities_strategy_2017-2022_1.pdf

This document set out the Council’s strategy to maximise the playability of its over 90 grass pitches given huge demand from local clubs across the sporting spectrum. The headline actions were to remediate existing poorly drained grass pitches, and to seek to build All Weather facilities in school grounds. This benefitted the schools during term time, and provided much needed training and playing facilities for local clubs at evenings and weekends.
