MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, July 08, 2019

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor Teresa Costello

To ask the Chief Executive to present an update on the Council's Pavilion Programme and specifically when the pavilion proposed for Old Bawn will be constructed. 

REPLY:

The pavilion construction programme aims to provide Pavilion/Changing Room facilities in public parks; the initial contract commencing with provision at Dodder Valley-Old Bawn Park, and proceeding to pavilions at Corkagh Park and Griffeen Park. Following a number of unsuccessful tender processes the Council has successfully appointed a contractor, using the more successful tender model of design-build allied to more traditional construction, and commencing with pavilion provision at Dodder Valley-Old Bawn Park.

The design stage is now approaching completion and the construction period for the intial pavilion at Old Bawn is expected to commence on the 8th of July 2019 and will be underway for the rest of 2019 and the start of 2020. Subsequent appointment for the contracts for the second and third pavilions will be dependent on overall performance and adherence to agreed programme on the first pavilion.
