That this Committee compliments the Manager and staff of the Council for their work in dealing with the effect on the roads of the recent adverse weather conditions, requests him to present an outline report on the measures implemented in the Lucan Electoral Area, and requests that he sets out the approach taken to deciding which regional and local roads should be prioritized for gritting, noting that many residents have complained that some local roads that carry significant traffic volumes, such as Griffeen Avenue/Road, Willsbrook Road, did not get sufficient treatment.

Winter gritting takes place on all National roads and major distributor roads. The priorities are National Routes followed by Regional //Local Roads acting as major Bus Routes.
