QUESTION: Councillor H. Farrell
To ask for a report on the current status of the waiting list for membership at Aura Leisure Centre, Lucan, and if the list is open or closed to the public, with numbers of the public currently listed, and how long the average waiting time is for those currently joining the facility, in Q2&3 in 2026?
REPLY:
The waiting list for membership at Lucan Leisure Campus, Lucan is currently operating with an estimated waiting time of approximately six months for new members seeking to join.
It should be noted that, as we move into the winter period, which is traditionally the busiest time of year for gym and leisure centre usage, the waiting period may increase due to higher demand.
While membership places are currently subject to a waiting list, the leisure centre remains fully accessible to the public through its Pay As You Go offering. This ensures that residents can continue to avail of the facility's gym, swimming pool and leisure services without requiring a membership.
