QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask the Chief Executive for a report into the condition of St. Cuthbert's Church and will he get South Dublin County Council to arrange for the fabric of this medieval church to be made sound until such time as the outcome of the High Level Task Force come up with a plan for St. Cuthbert's Church, the attached Cemetery and Moat is known. Liaising with relevant authorities may be necessary. Please note: according to experts, St. Cuthbert's Church, Graveyard and Moat are roughly the same age as the County's Round Tower in Clondalkin." 

REPLY:

The design plan for the St. Cuthbert’s Park redevelopment is currently at the tender stage to procure consultants to design same. The multi-disciplinary team being procured include consultants with the required expertise to carry out a survey/condition assessment of the church and provide a schedule of works to ensure that the structure is maintained. This survey and condition assessment will be required prior to any works being carried out. The tender for these consultants is still at negotiation stage. We will update the Clondalkin ACM as soon as we have a result.
