QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"To ask the Chief Executive what are the plans for the buildings etc. at Oilmills in Clondalkin?"

REPLY:

Having regard to the Council's ambition to develop the offerings at Corkagh Park in order to attract national and international visitors to the area, and to support the growth and development of tourism in the area, the Council commissioned an options and feasibility report for the further development of the tourism potential of Corkagh Park.  The findings and costings for the deliverables of the recommended elements of the report referred to above included for further study on the heritage structure within the park. The next step is to commission this study.

A tender for this service was prepared and sent to public tender earlier this year but was unsuccessful in procuring the required consultant. This tender has recently been re-tendered and a tender process is currently underway in that regard. The findings for the overall park study will also determine the future of the existing within the park.
