COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTON/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Friday, December 18, 2020
MOTION NO. 1
MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson
That the Chief Executive update the Area Committee on plans for the old Lucan Leisure Centre following the opening of the new swimming pool, and that this committee re-iterate our support for the Esker Boxing Club's proposal for using the centre.
REPORT:
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.
