MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on repairs to the tunnel and overall playground to Hermitage Park.

REPLY:

As reported under Motion 10 at the October ACM in 2022, the tunnel which was set alight will not be replaced as it was giving rise to anti-social behaviour which has somewhat abated since it was closed following fire damage.  This area will be reinstated as a grassed bank.  The footpath beside the grass bank will also be surfaced.  Works have commenced on this area and it is expected that the repairs will be completed in May.  Additional sand has also been added to the sandpit. 

A tender which was advertised for repairs to the playground equipment is currently being evaluated.  Repairs will be carried out shortly subject to acceptance of valid tender and appointment of a contractor.
