QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor L. de Courcy

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the plans for the renovation of the old sports centre in Clondalkin which has been earmarked for several local groups. When does he expect it will be available for the community?

REPLY:

Proposals for the upgrade and renovation of the Old Swimming Pool Building will be reviewed within the wider context of an examination of all community infrastructure within the local Clondalkin Village area as part of the formulation of a Local Area Plan for the area.

As part of Pre Local Area Plan preparations for the Clondalkin Village, the Planning Dept have been completing an examination of the Community Infrastructure currently existing within the village area. This will be used to help determine a baseline of what already exists in the area and will lead into the wider consultations.

It is envisaged that the Local Area Plan will set out objectives in order to meet any identified requirements for additional community infrastructure, what this infrastructure is required for in terms of end usage and this in turn will feed into any proposal for the redevelopment of the Old Swimming Pool Building.
