MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 25, 2023

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

"To ask the Manager to update on the Council's Pavilion Programme and to make a statement on whether the area by Kilnamanagh GAA pitches can be considered for inclusion?"

REPLY:

A Sports Pavilions programme has been agreed by the council for the provision of pavilion changing rooms; the following list of pavilions-county wide was agreed by the Council:

• Dodder Valley Old Bawn
• Griffeen Valley Park
• Corkagh Park ORR
• Tymon Park South
• Dodder Valley Mt Carmel
• Griffeen Valley – Arthur Griffith Park
• Collinstown Park

The pavilions have been funded via SDCC's capital budget with additional required funding via the sports capital grant application process. To date, SDCC have been successful with applications for Sports Capital Grants for five of the above pavilions and SDCC will continue to seek funding for the programme going forward.

SDCC are currently working our way through the funded Pavillion Construction Programme, Kilnamanagh is not included as a location.

In relation to the programme progress in general: Old Bawn Pavillion has just finished on site. Griffeen Park Pavillion and Corkagh Park have both achieved Part 8 Planning permission. However several recent tender processes to progress the construction of the programme have been unsuccessful and SDCC are now reviewing the pavillion build proposals to achieve better value for money. During the review we will review the proposed locations as it is several years since the programme was developed. We will present the review to the council once complete.
