MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 24, 2023

QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the CE if there's any update on providing costs in relation to extension of AYCC as per my agreed motion previous meeting.

REPLY:

The Community Services Dept are working in partnership with the Council's Architectural Services to deliver a large number of capital projects, focused on both the construction of a significant number of new Community Centres in areas such as Saggart, Balgaddy, Kilcarberry, Citywest, Ballycullen, Clonburris and the extension and upgrade of a range of other community centres as per commitments in the 3 year Capital Budget Programme.

The Adamstown Community & Youth Centre was opened in 2018 and consists of a shared school/sports hall, all-weather pitches, shared gym space and a number of multi-purpose community rooms. The building was constructed to allow for an option of future extension when the facility becomes fully utilised and to respond to additional community needs as the Adamstown area expands. No time frame or costing for this extension are currently available, but will be looked at in the future when space becomes available in the Capital Project delivery pipeline.

It is anticipated that the next element of community infrastructure provision within the Adamstown SDZ will be the proposed Civic Hall Centre/Library Building.
