QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor E. Murphy

Can the Chief Executive please provide an update on the Primary Care Centre development in Ballyboden? Can he please provide any details on a start date, on the number of pedestrian gates that will be erected and the locations of these gates?

REPLY:

Planning permission was granted under SD13A/0222 and on appeal. The permission was extended in 2019 and will expire in 2024. The site layout plan is attached and indicates the maintaining of 3 pedestrian entrances and 1 new entrance. Of the 4 pedestrian entrances shown, 2 will be from St Augustins to the east, one from Moyville to the south and one from Edmondstown Road to the west.

The timing of construction is a matter for the HSE. However, the Planning Department made contact with the HSE and have been advised that the Health Service Executive have completed the sale and leaseback procurement process for the delivery of a new Primary Care Centre at Taylors Lane, Ballyboden and the successful tenderer has been selected.

It is understood that the HSE is currently completing the contractual paperwork and intend to progress to Contract stage as soon as possible. Whilst there has been a delay due to Covid-19, it is anticipated that this will close out shortly.

Once the contract is signed and Covid-19 restrictions are lifted the developer will confirm the start date for construction of the works.
