has learned that plans to have the project finished be- fore the 2007 tourist summer season have now been scrapped.
Instead the developments’ will continue on the Lahinch lifeguard centre, which is due for completion in mid-June, with all other majors works to be suspended until after the tourism season.
“A number of brand new designs have now been shown to the council- lors and among those there are two or three realistic possibilities.
“The developers must now consult with private stake holders such as Lahinch Golf Club, Seaworld and
the Lahinch Playground committee,” said local councillor Martin Conway GnGoF
“We can’t at this point go public on the specifics of the options but what we saw was totally new.
“The councillors made observa- tions but we reserved any judgement until after the developer spoke with the interested local parties.”
It was, however, confirmed that some minor works would be carried out on the much delayed project over the summer.
“We felt that significant progress had been made in the last number of weeks. We are now three weeks into the building work on the lifeguard centre which is expected to take three months, so that should be completed before the height of the summer sea- son,’ continued Cllr Conway.
“Some minor works will be car- ried out throughout the summer and I would hope for major developments to start this autumn.
