COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (1)
Tuesday, April 07, 2009
MOTION NO. 3
MOTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave
"That the Manager again write to the owners of Rathfarnham Shopping Centre to ask them if there is an update on when a lift might be installed."
REPORT:
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 ."
