Celbridge
Kildare County Council has turned down a request to relocate the playground from The Abbey, Celbridge, using the €10,000 set aside in last year's local property tax budget "if necessary."
The request came from Cllr Ciara Galvin.
According to KCC parks officer Simon Wallace the majority of the equipment in the playground is owned by St John of God and it was refurbished when the playground was reopened in 2016.
"The only units (belonging) to Kildare County Council are a ship unit, sand pit and picnic bench. There is currently no suitable site to relocate the units to. Additionally, any work required to relocate equipment will have to be considered in the context of the existing works programme and a budget to carry out the work," added Mr Wallace.
