MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, June 26, 2023

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO to present an update on progress towards the development of the Tallaght Heritage Centre; will he detail consultations he has had, confirm the schedule he is now following and make a statement?"

REPLY:

 EPIC Heritage Consulting Ltd are finalising a new narrative brief within the next few days which will allow them to proceed to the next level of the preliminary design plan.

In the meantime, the Council continues to hold progress meetings with the Architect lead design team. These meetings allow the Council to work through design proposals and offer feedback on this iterative approach. The design team are expected to revert to the Council by late June with revised proposals – which will allow them to meet up with EPIC and develop the exhibition spaces to a level sufficient for Part 8 purposes.

This will allow the Council to bring the plans to Part 8 this summer, with a contractor expected to be appointed in early 2024.
