QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

To ask the Chief Executive to report on the progress of swimming pool projects in the County including new build and refurbishment/repair works; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPLY:

The new swimming-pool at Griffeen Park Lucan is currently at Tender preparation stage by consultant design team. Shortlisting process for suitable contractors is ready to commence shortly and tenders are scheduled to issue in early March 2018. Tallaght and Clondalkin pools are both experiencing difficulties with movable floors. The floor at Clondalkin requires a replacement part which is in manufacture now and will be installed shortly. The floor in Tallaght has a structural fault which required underwater-specialist survey. This is now completed and engineering evaluation can be carried to establish optimal repair strategy in terms of ongoing reliability and value for money.
