SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 23, 2021

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on repair works to the playspace in Hermitage Park.

REPLY:

The tunnel that was damaged by a fire in 2020 was constructed of HDPE.  When it was set alight, the intensity of the fire melted the tarmacadam path above it. It is proposed to replace the tunnel with a concrete tunnel and resurface the path once the new tunnel is in situ. The area has been made safe pending these works. These will be progressed once Covid restrictions have been eased and subject to completion of existing construction works which are currently on hold due to the restrictions.
