Rapid Ballyfermot

The Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltact Affairs Eamonn Ó Cuív visited Ballyfermot in November to launch the new playgrounds and to meet the Uaisle Retirement group who benefited from the RAPID Additionality Fund in 2006 

 Convent Lawns and Bridgeview benefitted from the RAPID Programme with new playgrounds in each area. Dublin City Councils came up trumps with additional funding for both playgrounds including  security railings. PlayZone is the Convent Lawns Playground and Happy Days is the Bridgeview   Playground. The children of each area named their playgrounds and the RAPID Programme is very proud of the work accomplished. The playgrounds were designed and installed by GoPlay with the funding from the HSE RAPID Leverage Fund. The playgrounds provide a safe secure environment in which children can play. The equipment comprises of solo play items, group play items and items designed for children with disabilities and have passed the most stringent safety guidelines.
