ESB cabling work (Dodder Templeogue ESB cable Replacement)
(Extract from Councillor Kearns note to GRA)
Over the next three weeks GMC contractors acting for the ESB will be doing some excavation
works to establish where they need to replace the large cables leading into Templeogue village.
Starting at the St Michaels side of the crossroads at Austin Clarke bridge and finishing just before
Ashfield College. The work will take place between 8am and 6pm.
There will be some traffic interruptions (lane closure etc)
This work is a precursor to the actual installation work to connect the cable which will commence
mid-March and will last for six months. The traffic management plan for this is not yet available but
a Stop/Go system is likely to be put in place.

Tymon Park Intergenerational Centre-Update
(Summary of note from SDCC to Local Councillors)
Construction on the €2.8 M Tymon Park Intergenerational Centre commenced in December 2023 and is
now well underway beside the Wellington entrance to Tymon Park.
- The works will proceed during 2024 and are expected to be completed in the first half of 2025,
(subject to favourable weather etc.).
- To date; the required ESB diversion has been completed,
- Site preparations are now being made for foundation work, which is scheduled for February.
The proposed Intergenerational Centre with its café is designed to make the best of its parkland setting
with a south facing terrace overlooking the lake. It will in turn enhance users experience and enjoyment
of the park with its complementary facilities. This multi-use facility will be adaptable to a variety of purposes.
It will provide a medium-sized, multi-functional community space; which is divided by a partition into 2 smaller,
self-contained rooms if required;
- a coffee / tea shop with indoor and outdoor seating (that can also provide spill out space from the
multi-functional
community space)
- an outdoor terrace which is sheltered by a canopy, which can provide space for outdoor cinema, outdoor performances,
outdoor table games (chess, scrabble etc) etc. overlooking the existing lake.
The landscape plan for the proposed facility ensures the building is integrated into the parkland setting;
the landscape plan realigns the vehicular route; upgrading the walking route into the park from Wellington Road and
will provide an enhanced, accessible entrance to the park; as well as providing cycle parking.
The site is a constrained one and during the works the car park at Wellington has been partially utilised to provide
workspace for the building.
