That the Manager outlines the options open to the Council to correct the anomaly whereby Lucan Road, Palmerston, has come to be referred to as “Old Lucan Road” whereas in fact this is quite inaccurate. The “new” road that replaces the Lucan Road (referred to variously as the “Chapelizod By Pass” or the “Palmerston Bye Pass” surely only working titles) does not have a name and should be given an official name reflective perhaps of the heritage of the area. In addition, the N4/M50 exit 7 intersection often referred to as the “Lucan Exit” should be more properly named as the “Palmerston Exit” after the historic place in which it is located. I now propose that these anomalies and inaccuracies be corrected.
