MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

MOTION NO.16

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to ensure that prices at the Lucan swimming pool and leisure centre are reduced via subvention, as current listed Aura Leisure prices show that PAYG and annual membership will be significantly higher than other public facilities such as Clondalkin and indeed some private operators and that this goes against the spirit of what is supposed to be community rather than a commercial facility, even allowing for a "sinking fund" to pay for maintenance costs down the line.

REPORT:

We are working with Aura Leisure to review their proposed membership and PAYG price plans. The prices that have been proposed are influenced by recent increased energy costs and increases to the minimum wage .

We will continue to engage with Aura Leisure and explore available options which may help offer services to the community at a reduced cost.
