QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive would they provide a roadmap and timeline on what needs to happen to progress allocated funding to St Finians CC Newcastle?

REPLY:

Community Dept are continuing to work with Architectural Services to prepare updated design proposals for the proposed redevelopment and extension of the St Finian’s Community Centre, to allow for further discussions with the local Board of Management of the St Finian’s Community Centre.

Currently a budget provision of €2mill has been made for the proposed project.  

Further discussions are required with Planning Dept and a number of external partners to discuss the sequencing of the proposed project and progression of a number of legal matters. If all can be resolved and agreements met the Council would be aiming to progress the project to Part 8 before the end of the year.
