"The issues of private cars using the Bus Gate on the Old Blessington Road was raised at the August meeting of the Tallaght Transport Forum. Bus Drivers complain that a recent issue of a private car, braking without warning at the Bus Gate, caused the bus driver to carry out emergency braking and by doing so, caused a passenger to suffer serious facial injuries. This Area Committee calls on the Manager to install CCTV with NPR facilities at the Bus Gate in an effort to fine and deter any unauthorised vehicles from illegally using this Public Transport facility. *Please copy to the Tallaght Area Traffic Management Meeting for September?"
"Following on from the August meeting of the Tallaght Transport Forum and the issues raised by Dublin Bus and Go Ahead bus drivers regarding road widths, in the context of Active Travel schemes and District Enhancement schemes and also the problems encountered by the Drivers due to associated Road Works and the lack of proper Traffic Management, this Area Committee requests that a representative of the Roads Department be present at the Transport Forum meetings, in an effort to address the serious concerns raised at the Tallaght Transport Forum?"
