New Development Progress
As we communicated in the last update, we have made significant progress and continue to do so towards the completion of our new club development works. There have been a number of issues resolved and mitigations implemented and we have high level of confidence in the final phase plans. There are risks that some issue will arise that was unforeseen that could impact us, but every effort will be put in place to minimise risk or exposure.
Development update
The club development will be substantially complete by the end of October.
Fingal Active travel ( External ) works commenced with preparatory works, with a target completion schedule of 8 weeks.
Building Certification and sign off process is in progress with Virtus our project management team which has commenced with all parties.
What else has been happening
Grant planning is in progress and mobilise to draw down on remaining four grants
Sports Capital Grant drawdown and works is still TBD, as there are legal steps for us to close prior to mobilising the project

Next steps

Celebration planning, activities and formal opening
Closure of Bremore Park
With a project of this scale and size there are still a number of known risks which we are currently tracking and working on mitigating potential impacts.
Risks
Uisce Eireann: Water connection completion - Final connection pending
Active Travel works timely completion - Risk of delays as required for opening for access to the development
Bar licence application - Pending application & award
Building certification, planning permission & insurance - In progress
Support from club members on mobilisation to support operating models and drive revenue generation initiatives for club financial commitments - pending
Our hope at this point is to open Bremore Nua development in Oct, as we close out on the remaining build elements and potential risks. We will communicate closure and opening plans
Finally members of your club Executive and sub committees will commence reaching out to club members for assistance going forward to support the running and future developments of the club, please consider the requests seriously, as even an hour a week can help greatly.
As we move together on this journey over the coming months, we need to remember that O'Dwyers GAA club is not the few, it is all of us, the present, the past and the future. We as current members have a duty to build on what our past members have achieved and ensure that we build on that achievement together and have a great club for the future.
