MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 28, 2017

QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the planed all-weather football pitch in Airlie Heights.  Is any meeting planned between the Residents and Lucan Utd to answer questions asked by residents at the last meeting.  When will the project start construction?"

REPLY:

Members are aware of protracted deliberations pertaining to the SCG 2015 between Lucan Utd and Airlie Heights.

It should be noted that while there has been suggestions of close liaison between SDCC and Lucan Utd, any such liaison to date was undertaken solely to determine potential outcomes to the issues raised.

Responses to outstanding queries have recently been circulated, and arrangements for a second facilitated meeting are currently being made.

Arrangements will then be made to initiate proceedings that can faciliate commencement of the development, bearing in mind the stipulation in approval from DTTS that the club must have completed a substantial amount of progress on the project to facilitate the drawdown of the grant by 31st October 2017.
