MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Wednesday, November 18, 2015
QUESTION NO. 14
QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons
“To ask the Chief Executive for a report on the Public Partner Network, what Clondalkin area groups are represented and how does a group register and the criteria etc?”
REPLY:
The South Dublin County Public Participation Network (PPN) was established in October 2014 using guidelines provided by the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government. There are approximately 300 groups currently registered with over 75 of these groups located in Clondalkin.
The PPN is open to all community, voluntary, social inclusion and environmental groups operating within the County. Registration forms are available online at www.sdcppn.ie or by phone at 086 170 1141.
In order to ensure that the PPN is independent of the Local Authority it was agreed that a host organisation would be selected to host the PPN through an open competition. South Dublin County Volunteer Centre was selected as the host organisation in July 2015. A PPN Coordinator, Jamie Moore, was employed in September 2015 and is currently based in the Tallaght Office of the Volunteer Centre in County Hall. He can be contacted directly at jamie@sdcppn.ie.
