MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 21, 2026

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor N. Whelan

"Due to the urgency of the required upgrade of Tallaght Athletics Clubs running track, could the manager please provide a timeline for the expected completion of this upgrade?"

REPLY:

The Council is aware of the works required at Tallaght Athletics Club running track, following the completion of a full condition survey in 2025, which also identified associated cost estimates. At present, there is a significant funding shortfall in respect of the proposed upgrade works. While €200,000 has been secured under the Sports Capital Grant, the overall estimated cost of the works is currently in the range of €800,000 to €1.2 million. A funding source for the balance required has not yet been identified. Accordingly, it is not possible at this stage to confirm a definitive timeline for completion of the upgrade works. The Council will continue to examine potential funding opportunities and will progress the matter subject to the availability of the necessary funding.
