South Dublin County Council recognises that provision of physical infrastructure such as Roads, Housing, Water, Sewerage etc. is not in itself sufficent to build and foster communities - both existing and new communities. It is vital that we provide for the Human Dimension

The aim of the Community Services Department is to assist communities to provide a better social and economic environment for themselves.

The Department supports this aim by providing a comprehensive community development and support service.

                          

Tallaght Stadium above which was offically opened on 27th May 2009 by Martin Cullen T.D. Minister for Sport, Arts & Tourism is a purpose built, 6000 seat, state of the art football stadium located in The Sean Walsh Memorial Park at Whitestown Way just off the N81 in the heart of Tallaght.

The stadium which was built by South Dublin County Council, opened its doors to the public in March  2009 when anchor tenants Shamrock Rovers FC hosted their first home game. The celebration of the completion of the Stadium and the coverage of this event represented a milestone in the development of facilities in South Dublin County. Tallaght Stadium is a community facility and accordingly, two local primary schools teams celebrated the official opening by playing a friendly game on the new pitch.

The development was promoted by the Council's Community Services Department  and the  project  was managed by our Architects, Eddie Conroy and Maire OSullivan and constructed by P J McLoughlin Ltd.
