QUESTION NO.28

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the CE to confirm his plans for a new Pavilion programme; will he give details and make a statement? 

REPLY:

The Sports Pavillions programme provides for changing rooms within parks to serve a number of sports pitches; and are 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 pavillions and SDCC will continue to seek funding for such projects going forward.

In relation to the programme progress: Old Bawn Pavilion has finished on site and is open and operational. Griffeen Park Pavilion 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 pavilion build proposals to achieve better value for money and ensure progression of pavilion delivery. This review is currently underway and additional locations ware also under consideration, as it is several years since the initial programme was developed. Once completed, the review will be presented to the council with recommendations. The expected date for completion of the review /presentation to council is March 2024.
