MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 16, 2025

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor C. Brady

To ask the Chief Executive whether Protected Structure Ref. 036 — the former Tram Depot and Power Station (known locally as the Schoolmaster's House) in Lucan — has been considered for inclusion on the Vacant or Derelict Sites Register, and if eligible should it be so listed.

REPLY:

Under Section 3 of Derelict Site Act 1990, South Dublin County Council monitors sites in the county that may meet the criteria of a ‘derelict site’ which are not entered on the register until such time as investigations are completed and a determination made that the site is derelict.

SDCC has opened a derelict site casefile in relation to the supplied address. An inspection has been scheduled by the Senior Clerk of Works. Should the inspection report be endorsed as derelict, SDCC will take all available action under the provisions of the Derelict Sites Act 1990.
