QUESTION NO. 5
QUESTION: Councillor C. Keane
"To ask the Manager for an update re disabled access at Rathfarnham Shopping Centre – Manager of Shopping Centre said by letter to council in April 2008 that he would be back in three months with further update, please contact again if this update is not to hand in order to have same prior to TRAC meeting?"
REPLY:
Arising from recent contact with the Property Management for Rathfarnham Shopping Centre in connection with Wheelchair access, the following reply was received on 31st March 2009.
"The provision of access facilities for the disabled -and the wheelchair bound in particular -to the upper floor of RSC was to have been included in a revised redevelopment scheme for the Shopping Centre by way of new lifts and possibly travelators .These have been included in our drawings and costings , but it would be unfair of me to hold out any prospect of an early implementation in the current economic climate .
We realise that this is disappointing news ,particularly for our disabled and elderly customers and we share that disappointment ."
