A new playspace at Whitechurch in Dublin has officially opened.

The Deputy Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Councillor Laura Donaghy officially opened the playspace.

Deputy Mayor Cllr Laura Donaghy said: "This is a playspace that arrived at the right time. Covid has reminded us how important our local open spaces are. Having play facilities located in the areas where children live gives them support as they grow and provides vital activity for healthy child development."
