COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor E. Coburn

"To ask the manager for an update on  when the signs in the vicinity of the Knocklyon Road/ Firhouse will be erected and to detail what will be communicated on each of the signs?"

REPLY:

Direction signs for Knocklyon are to be provided on approaching regional roads and on the M50. In general when the Knocklyon area is reached the signing of ‘Knocklyon’ ceases as the destination has been reached.

In this regard the overhead signs on the M50 will include Knocklyon. Arrangements have been made with the contractor for the modification of these signs.

The resigning of the regional roads, R113 Killininny Road to Taylors Lane and R114 Firhouse Road include Knocklyon at appropriate junctions. The R114 signs will be installed as the QBC works are completed. A scheme design is being finalised for the R113 and funding is being sought under regional road signage.
