MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Manager to update on proposals to install electronic timer-controlled gates at Glenaulin Park, Palmerstown?

REPLY:

An investigation is currently ongoing into the feasibility and practicality of installing an electronic type device to control one or two of the access gates into Glenaulin Park.  The existing gates have not been designed to facilitate locking and it is likely that if the proposal is feasible the gates will require signification modification or replacement.  The park boundaries adjacent to these access points may also require enhancing as part of the process.  It is important to note that any decision to proceed with the proposal will be based on experiences to date with such systems and the availability of the necessary resources to undertake the works.
