MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, March 10, 2008

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor C. King

To ask the Manager, whether residents throughout the County directly affected by the ongoing works on the Outer Ring Road were notified by information leaflet as to what the nature and duration of the disruption would be and what the end result would be in terms of the road itself, landscaping including walls, footpaths and planting?

REPLY:

The Outer Ring Road scheme was divided into three parts, all of which were the subject of the Environmental Assessment process through An Bord Pleanala. Phases 1 (N7 Naas road to Adamstown) and Phase 2 Adamstown to the N4 Lucan bypass were also the subject of an oral hearing following the receipt of some objections. Phase 3 did not involve an oral hearing, a decision made by An Bord Pleanala following publication of the EIS in December 2005. All of the EIA documentation including landscaping footpaths etc. is available on the Council's website. This information was made available to local interests via newspaper advertisement and information meeting were held with local councillors.
