QUESTION NO.2

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sheehy

To ask the Chief Executive to for an update and progress report following Lucan Harriers Deputation meeting recently.

REPLY:

In follow up to the Deputation meeting with Lucan Harriers, our Senior Executive Parks Superintendent met with the club members on 28^th February in relation to the maintenance issues outlined at the meeting. These issues are being worked through with the Club.

The Senior Executive Parks Superintendent is working with the contractor to set a date for the repair works to begin on the athletics track. The club will be informed as soon as a date is set.

The licence agreement for the track is currently set as an annual licence agreement. The Senior Executive Officer has discussed this with the club since the deputation meeting and is looking at other options. This will be discussed again with the club shortly.

The Senior Executive Officers in Environment Water and Climate Change and in Economic, Enterprise & Tourism Development have been working together with the club in drafting a trust agreement. This will issue to the relevant clubs this week with the intention of a new lease for the clubhouse being drawn up and agreed with the relevant clubs.

SDCC continue to work closely with the clubs in relation to all points raised at the deputation meeting.
