MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

"Following media and social media reports there’s a perception that the swimming pool in Lucan could be further delayed. To ask the Chief Executive for an updated report of current progress and plan of delivery of the pool, including detail of any possible risks that ‘could’ cause delay."

REPLY:

The closing date for the main contractor's stage 2 tender for the Lucan Swimming Pool was Monday 24th September, these tenders are currently being assessed. There is an additional tendering process for the associated specialist contracts and this should be completed by November 2018.

A report will then be submitted to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport for approval to proceed with the appointment of the contractors to move the project on to the construction phase. It is envisaged that the project build will commence in January 2019.

Risk assessment, mitigation and management is a key and ongoing part of the management process during planning, procurement and implementation of the project.
