COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, October 10, 2011

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

This Council, dismayed and alarmed at the recent suggestions that further tolls should be introduced along the M50 which would this be a further burden on the business community and families and would also lead to further congestion on the already overtaxed road network across a very significant range of South Dublin County communities, totally rejects any further tolling of the M50 within this County and requests that the Manager so inform the Minister and use every opportunity to oppose such a scheme.

REPORT:

The Roads Authority for the M50 (C-Ring) Motorway including the section within the administrative area of this Council, is the National Roads Authority. The NRA have entered into a long term maintenance and management agreement for the M50 Motorway through a Public Private Partnership arrangement. This Council has no direct involvement on a day to day basis with the management of the motorway.

If the Motion is passed it will be referred to the Minister for Transport and when a reply is received the Members will be informed.
