QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive Officer if in relation to the Lucan Demesne Car Park Part 8 that was approved by the Council will a staff member be assigned to ensuring the recommended measures aimed at protection of the ecology and mitigation of any negative impacts of construction are implemented, and if he will make a statement on the matter

REPLY:

The Lucan Demesne Car Park Part 8 was approved by the Council in January 2022, the next step in the project is to tender for and appoint a design team for the detailed design and construction stage. The tender for the design consultants will include the relevant Part 8 documents, including the Environmental reports, with a requirement that the detailed design and construction stage will include the requirements and recommendations contained within the Part 8 stage, (which includes the mitigation measures within the Environmental reports).  The Project Manager will then be responsible for ensuring these measures are carried through to the construction stage tender; at which stage the responsibility for their implementation will fall to the appointed contractor. At this stage their implementation will be enforceable by the contract specification and conditions and the Project Manager will be overseeing that implementation.
