COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 20, 2018

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"That the Chief Executive gives an updated report on Knockmitten Astro Turf,  when will it start? and any other relevant information?" 

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council were notified that the proposed All Weather Pitch Knockmitten has received Sports Capital Grant Funding in the 2018 notification of grants. The Council carried out a Part 8 process in 2017 in relation to the proposal and the Part 8 was passed by the Council.

There is no start date for this project as yet; as notified to all recipients of Sports Capital Grant Allocations in 2018 the progression of the projects will be in tandem with the resources available to the council. The capital team is currently concentrating on the delivery of the 4 No. 2015 Sports Capital Grant allocated projects; 3 of which commenced on site and 1 which will be subject to an imminent construction tender process. Once those projects are progressed the 2018 Capital Grant Allocations will be programmed for detailed design and tender; albeit as each proposed project is different it is likely they will progress to different timescales.
