COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 27, 2023

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on when the Lucan Village Green, Demesne and Weir Works are due to take place and when a detailed design will be made available.

REPLY:

The design team encountered significant delays in procuring a contractor to carry out site investigations (SI) works. The SI contractor has recently completed the investigation works and will provide a report which will allow us to make final adjustments to the detailed design and tender documentation. We then plan to commence the tender process in August. I anticipate that this will allow a contractor to commence by October and for the works to be completed before the end of 2024.

It is proposed to incorporate the construction of the new Public Realm Car Park, opposite the Lucan Demesne, into the construction contract as it will be necessary to complete this new park in advance of works commencing at the Lucan Demesne, to create the new plaza.
