MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 27, 2015

MOTION NO. 4

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

"That this meeting call on the Chief Executive, further to €400,000 allocation to progress the design and planning of the Lucan Swimming Pool project as proposed by the Corporate Policy Group and ratified by the October Council meeting; to outline a timeframe for the design and planning process; and if he will further confirm that the Lucan Swimming Pool will be included in the draft Rolling Capital Programme 2016-2018 as requested in the motion proposed by Cllr. Lavelle & I and approved at the September meeting of this Committee"

REPORT:

The provision of €400,000.00 to progress the design and planning of the Lucan Swimming Pool project is very welcome and a significant start to the substantial capital investment that is required for this major piece of infrastructure. The allocation should however be seen in the context of seed funding which could be used to lever the remaining funds required. On its own the allocation will enable the County Architect to include in his work programme for the necessary design and planning work during 2016. 

As this €400,000.00 sum has now been made available it will be included in the draft Capital Programme.
