MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (2)

MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor S. Crowe

"That this Committee, concerned at the recent flooding at the entrance to Raheen/ Whitebrook Estates in Tallaght and  the obvious inconveniance and difficulties that this recurring problem is having on passing motorists and local residents, notes the confusion on where responsibility lies in either Roads or Drainage, and calls on the manager to investigate, give an updated report and ultimately take measures to resolve this problem at this particular location."

REPORT:

The Roads Department and the Drainage Department of the Council co-operated in carrying out an investigation of the drainage problems recently encountered at the Raheen / Whitebrook area. Arrangements were made to carry out a CCTV survey of the existing drains and a jetter was used to clean the road gullies and associated pipework. Further investigations are being carried out by the Drainage Department on the wider drainage network to identify the cause of the recent difficulties which may involve remedial work by the Roads or Drainage Departments. The Drainage Department have been asked to notify the councillor of the outcome.
