MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"What can be done by the Council in order to address the problems caused by the movable floor in Clondalkin Swimming Pool?  The pool has been unavailable to a number of groups because of this issue."

REPORT:

The technical problems with the Boom wall on the Clondalkin site has not reduced the level of service available to the general public with the exception of the swim clubs which require a 25m pool. Every effort has been made by both Pool Management and SDCC to have the problem resolved. The problems are complex and given the type of operation, which is under water, in confined spaces and requiring the services of an overseas company, very challenging. 

After several site visits and examinations, a solution has been identified. A bespoke replacement piece of equipment is being fabricated and will be fitted by the UK dive team. This process will take several weeks. Hopefully this will address the problem and enable us provide the full service.
