COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 27, 2021

MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the building of Lucan Swimming Pool and how the Covid restrictions have impacted on expected stages of building it and also the refurbishment of the existing leisure centre

REPORT:

While construction commenced on the Lucan Swimming Pool in August 2019 and despite good initial progress as reported previously, the site has remained closed for a significant part of the last thirteen months due to Covid-related restrictions.  While the current estimated completion date is estimated for the fourth quarter of this year based on projected re-opening of construction next month, an updated completion date will be advised to the Elected Members when more specific details on the further easing of restrictions are available.

A tender has issued for the remedial roof and other works on the Lucan leisure centre.  Arrangements in respect of current use and occupation of the leisure centre also need to be finalised to allow these works to commence safely when restrictions allow.
