QUESTION NO.22

QUESTION: Councillor H. Farrell

To ask the Manager for an update on the Lucan House & Demesne Part 8 timeline, and information on any works that might be planned in the short, medium or long term for the project?

REPLY:

Procurement documents for the Lucan House project are currently being prepared and are expected to be published in the coming weeks. It is anticipated that a consultant will be appointed by December 2025. Following this appointment, the project will progress to the Part 8 planning process and the Detailed Design phase. Subject to a successful procurement process, submission of the Part 8 planning application is expected by Q1 2026.

The first phase of works is anticipated to begin on site by Q3 2026, focusing on enabling works and improvements to the outdoor elements as set out in the Masterplan. Please note that these timelines remain subject to the outcomes of the procurement process.

In the interim, priority works to aspects of the main house will be undertaken over the coming weeks to address immediate needs.
