Questions

Qu (1)
Submitted by:
Councillor C. Bailey
Responsibility:
Gary Walsh

To ask the Manager to consider installing a salt box for the Temple Manor and Wilkins Estate. Many of the roads and footpaths within the estate are in the shade which means that they stay frozen and icy for far longer than they should.

Qu (2)
Submitted by:
Councillor C. Bailey
Responsibility:
Gary Walsh

To ask the Chief Executive if he could ensure that the hill that leads from Kilakee Drive, Dublin 12 could be included in the gritting route during cold weather. This road leads to the main Greenhills Road and vehicles and pedestrians had to turn back, creating more traffic along other routes in order to access the M50 or travel towards Tallaght. The hill was unpassable for a number of days during the bad weather in Dec 22.

Qu (3)
Submitted by:
Councillor D. McManus
Responsibility:
Gary Walsh

To ask the Chief Executive to examine the worn road markings along Ballyboden Road to ensure adequate remarking is arranged as soon as possible, as the white road marking is faded between all three lanes of traffic?

To request a review of the height of signage at the roundabout at the junctions of R115, Taylors Lane and Ballyboden Way In particular, the signage travelling northbound from R115 obscures vision - looking towards Taylors Lane - when merging onto the roundabout and necessitates car drivers edging forward and potentially causing conflict with cyclist road users.

Submitted by:
