MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, February 16, 2022

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the repair of the boom in Clondalkin Swimming Pool?"

REPLY:

Following the recent visit by specialist contractor to Clondalkin Swimming Pool to fit replacement parts, significant issues were discovered relating to transducers which now require full replacement.  Unfortunately, this will involve the order of replacement parts and a return visit by the contractor and we will update the committee as soon as specific timelines for this are known.

The frustration of swimming pools users and swimming clubs over the ongoing lack of access and service is fully understood and their undoubted disappointment at this latest update is shared by the Council.  We are reviewing maintenance arrangements and service cover in conjunction with facility managers from South County Dublin Leisure Services to improve the responsiveness and efficiency of these arrangements for leisure centre users.  The Council has committed the funding necessary to ensure that all appropriate options can be explored and will prioritise making any necessary arrangements identified in this regard.
