MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 25, 2016

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on whether the Dept. of Transport Tourism and Sport has contacted SDCC to give the go ahead for contractors to proceed with the next phase of the Lucan Swimming Pool;  to outline any communcations received since last month by Council officials, either verbally or in writing; and to clarify if progress is still being made on preparations to ensure the planned completion date remains on target."

REPLY:

Local authorities may not proceed to the next stage of a project until prior written approval issues from the Department.   South Dublin County Council received approval from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to appoint a design team on 21st October.   This approval we hope will allow us to meet our timeline of completion by end of 2018."
