MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTON/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Friday, December 18, 2020

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask Chief Executive if Esker Boxing club is been considered as a tenant in the newly refurbished Lucan centre as part of the overall Lucan swimming pool design.

REPLY:

The existing Lucan Leisure Centre requires considerable roof repairs and associated works and arrangements are being made to procure and schedule the necessary works which will ensure that the centre will complement the new adjacent swimming pool that is currently under construction. An assessment of potential options for the future usage of the complex will be undertaken, in consultation with centre management, which will include the potential for tenant partners. The long-standing interest of Esker Boxing Club in this regard will be part of the assessment.

The works proposed to the existing centre include re-roofing and associated insulation works to address ongoing roof leaks that have been repaired almost annually in recent years – it is now proposed to remove the existing roof which has reached the end of its life span and replace it with a suitable new insulated metal roof system while it is also proposed to paint the exterior of the building. The timing of these works will be subject to procurement and contractor availability.
