Question: Councillor D. Smith “To ask the Chief Executive can an outdoor table tennis table be provided in the Swords skatepark similar to the tables provided in mainland Europe which are all year weather resistant and have a metal grid as opposed to a traditional net?”

Reply: Table tennis tables that are robust enough for such a location are expensive to purchase and install and no budgetary provision was made to procure same in 2016. Consideration can be given to procurement of such a table in 2017 with a view to having one in place for the summer months.
