QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the CEO when does he now expect construction work to commence on the Tallaght Heritage Centre; will he confirm the schedule to be followed and will he make a full statement?"

REPLY:

The Tallaght Heritage Centre project is of major significance in relation tourism initiatives in the County. The project received Part 8 planning approval and the design team appointed to progress the centre have moved to detailed design phase. Preparation of Fire and Disability Access Cert applications and the overall tender package for construction are underway.  The current programme indicates that tenders will be published on e-tenders in mid August with a projected mobilisation and commencement on site in November 2024.

The Council will continue to see if this programme can be pulled back to facilitate an earlier commencement, whilst the Elected Members will be kept updated on the development programme for this new tourism facility in the County.
