MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.23

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive what plans are in place for Lucan House over the next 6 to 12 months given that local councillors were actively involved throughout the pre-consultation and consultation stages of the project and to request that an update and presentation on Lucan House be provided at a future Area Committee meeting.

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.

It is proposed that a full update be presented to the Area Committee Meeting in the New Year once a consultant has been appointed and a programme of work has been developed and agreed.
