MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor A. Hayes

That the Manager provides a comprehensive update with associated timeline showing all efforts made by SDCC in 2023 and 2024 to design, tender and install a temporary roof structure on Waterstown House, Palmerstown, as budgeted for in November 2022.

REPLY:

A sum of €30,000 was provided for in the 2023 budget to provide a roof on Waterstown House.  The roof will not make the building useable or habitable, it is solely for the purpose of protecting the structure. 

While it was not possible to progress this project in 2023 it is proposed to prepare a design for the roof and necessary supporting structure in the current year which can be costed and will then lead on to a tender process for the construction of the roof.
