MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, January 23, 2017

QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to present an update on the Tallaght Village Initiative Project confirming the schedule being followed and also detailing works yet to be carried out in response to community representations made during the consultation process?"

REPLY:  

"The design for the Village Initiative incorporates all the items tabled by community representations and included in the design, as detailed in the County Architect's Part VIII Report of April 2015.

The contract for the works has been split into two phases.

Phase One encompasses the Old Greenhills Rd Plaza and the upgrade of the footpaths and public lighting along Old Bawn Rd, south of the Totem Pole Plaza to the N81. Design for this phase is now almost complete and tenders are due for issue in mid-late February 2017 with construction due to commence in mid April 2017.

Phase Two encompasses the new plaza opposite the Dragon Inn, termed Main Street Plaza. The design for this phase is still ongoing and clarification is still being sought from Macari's regarding the scope of works at their premises. We hope to finalise an agreement at this location in the coming weeks."
