MEETING OF TERENURE/RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Tuesday, November 13, 2007

MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor C. Keane

"That this committee discusses the provision of a swimming Pool for the Terenure Rathfarnham area -

(a) to ask if a suitable site has been identified,

(b) to outline a projected timescale for advancing the project."

REPORT

The Council has been actively pursuing a couple of options in this regard in line with the recommendations of the Water Leisure Strategy Review as presented and adopted by the Council but progress has been slow having regard to the joint venture element of the strategy.

This specific recommendation is:

“Examination of existing leisure facilities including swimming pools serving the Terenure / Rathfarnham area be completed, identify a suitable site and work towards the development of a joint venture proposal.”

Work is continuing in this matter in line with this recommendation but it is difficult to outline a timescale at this stage until the options being investigated are concluded. Every effort will be made to further progress the options and report back to the Committee.
