MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, March 24, 2025

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor J. Spear

Can the manager please report on the plan to manage and maintain heritage buildings in Tallaght Village, including St Dominic's Hall, Tallaght village?

REPLY:

Protected Structures and historic buildings which add to the character of Tallaght Village Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) are protected under Part IV of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended) and managed by policy under SDCC County Development Plan 2022-2028.  The routine maintenance of protected structures and historic buildings in the ACA is the responsibility of the owner/occupiers. 

Previous reports have been made in relation to St. Dominic’s Hall in Tallaght Village.  St. Dominic's Hall was damaged by fire during December 2022.  The property is owned by the Dominican Order, Tallaght Priory and therefore any plans to refurbish the building is the responsibility of the owners.  The owners can seek pre-planning advice for works or future use from SDCC Planning Dept. This building is not a Protected Structure.
