QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on plans for Templeogue House, and to make a statement on the matter."

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council plans to develop a community facility at Templeogue House in the future. The following statutory protection apply to the house, it is a protected structure under the Planning and Development Act and Recorded Monument under the National Monument Act.

The Architectural Services Department was recently commissioned by the Chief Executive to reassess the Cost plan for a redevelopment project at Templeogue House, which was prepared in 2008 by Davis Langton PKS quantity surveyors, now known as AECOM. Ways to reduce the cost of the project were to be examined.

In May 2016 a fire safety engineering consultant and a quantity surveyor were procured under separate briefs. The Fire Engineer will carry out a fire strategy and submit a Fire Safety Certificate Application and Disability Access Certificate Application whilst the QS will review the cost estimates previously submitted and advise on priority work proposals within a specified budget.
