QUESTION NO. 31

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Manager, given the support pledged by this Committee, to provide an update on the provision of the TASC Pavilion - originally promised in 2009 - in respect of the re-allocation of funds from the Capital Programme, and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

The construction of the TASC pavilion in Tymon Park is listed for funding under the Council's Rolling Capital Programme.  A sum of €900,000 is required to frontload the project.  The Council has been provisionally awarded grant support for the project by the Department of Art, Sport & Tourism (now the Department of Tourism, Culture and Sport) to a maximum of 70% and every effort is being made to identify the necessary finance to enable the project to advance. 

In the interim, the Council is continuing to progress other matters relating to the project.  A Deed of Charge is being prepared for approval by the Elected Members and it is planned to bring this before the July Meeting of the County Council.  In accordance with the conditions of the grant allocation, the Department has to approve the tender process in advance of the award of any contract. The details of the tender process are in the course of being submitted to the Department in order to receive final approval for the provisional grant allocation.
