COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

MOTION NO. 15

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

That this Area Committee recommends again that South Dublin County Council, subject to the Garda Commissioner’s approval, implement a school-time HGV restriction on Newcastle Road in Lucan without any further delay.

REPORT:

At the previous meeting of this committee an undertaking was given to implement this policy subject to the approval of the Garda Authorities.  In this regard the Council wrote to the Garda Authorities seeking their endorsement of the proposal.

The following reply was received:

"An Garda Síochana supports the introduction of school time heavy goods vehicles restriction on the Newcastle Road, Lucan, Whilst An Garda Síochana has responsibility for enforcement, the support of all stakeholders will be necessary to ensure the restriction is fully complied with."

In this regard the Council now proposes to seek the support of all stakeholders as advised by the Gardaí.  It is proposed therefore to include this as a Headed Item on the Agenda of both the Transportation SPC and the Economic Development  SPC for their next meetings.
