MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 23, 2017

QUESTION NO 9.

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

"To ask the Chief Executive for a further update on the timescale for the completion of the Lucan Swimming Pool, including the promised consultation meeting with those involved in the campaign such as the Pool4Lucan group and local councillors, the likely date for turning of sod and construction commencement and final opening of building?"

REPLY:

Drawings  were presented to the Lucan ACM in April and were then sent on to the Dept of Transport, Tourism and Sport for approval. We are awaiting their approval before putting up the drawings and reports for Part VIII Display.

A meeting will be arranged with the Pool4Lucan group once we have Dept. approval to move ahead and the consultation process opens.

The original Programme was that we would have Part VIII approval by the July County Council Meeting and have tenders out before the end of the year, with construction starting early in 2018. However this timscale may change while we wait for Department approval to proceed to Part VIII.
