MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Tuesday, October 28, 2008

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor J. Hannon

"To ask the Manager to report on the current position with regard to the N81 extension, and how this relates to the current consultation process?"

REPLY:

Since the passing of the section 85 agreement between South Dublin County Council, Kildare County Council and Wicklow County Council in relation to this project. Kildare County Council have reviewed the project and it has been agreed that the scheme should be extended to Hollywood Cross in Co. Wicklow as a full scheme with a phased construction sequence following an Oral hearing with An bord Pleanala. The current consultation process is related to the entire scheme. It is unlikely to change the route through SDCC area as indicated in our Development Plan. Construction of any phase will not commence prior to 2011 in any event.
