"That this Area Committee:

REAFFIRMS this Council’s commitment, contained in the 2006 Review of the Water Leisure Strategy, to provide a Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan;

EXPRESSES it disappointment with the recent decision of an Bord Pleanala to overrule the amendment to Adamstown SDZ planning scheme, made by the elected members of the Council, to require the earlier delivery of a PUBLIC pool in Adamstown or the Greater Lucan Area;

RECOGNISES that the Governments ‘Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme’, which previously provided funding for the development of new public swimming pools in Clondalkin & Tallaght allocated up to €3. 8million of funding for planned new pools (in non-RAPID areas);

ACKNOWLEDGES that, irrespective of whether Government funding is available or not, this Council will have to contribute a substantial investment towards the provision of a Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan;

Therefore AGREES to the following three actions, each aimed at seeking to progress a different option to secure delivery of a Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan, i.e. this Area Committee:

1. CALLS on the Ministers for Public Expenditure & Sports to provide funding for a new ‘Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme as part of the planned new Public Capital Investment Programme 2016-2020; and further calls on the Ministers to examine the recommendation contained in the 2008 ‘Value for Money and Policy Review Report’ to bundle new pool projects in a public/private joint venture on a national basis so as to deliver value-for-money;
    
2. Noting that the Rolling Capital Programme 2015-2017 provides for income of €10,665,000 from land disposals;

REQUESTS that the Chief Executive would make a formal written commitment to allocate any proceeds from all land disposals cumulatively exceeding €10,665,000, in the period 2015-2017, to be allocated for the provision of a Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan (with particular reference to any future land disposals in the Clonburris SDZ falling within the Lucan electoral area);

3. Further noting the reply to question No. 8 at the January 2015 Council meeting which outlined the legislative basis by which local authorities and/or ‘off-the-book’ companies established by local authorities may borrow for the purposes of seeking to fund major capital projects in the sports and leisure area;

RESOLVES under Standing Order No. 71 to establish a specific ‘Sub-committee on Swimming Pool lending options’ to examine, with the support of officials of this Council, and report within three months on all options by which this Council (or a company under the auspices of the Council) could seek to borrow to fund or part-fund the provision of a commercial-operated Public Swimming Pool Facility in Lucan; and calls on the Chief Executive to fully support the work of the sub-committee."
