"To ask the Manager to report on the safety, or otherwise, of Charlie O'Toole Bridge, Tallaght By-Pass, and can he confirmn what action has been taken by this Council to ensure the health and safety of pedestrians who use the bridge to access local services?"

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council are aware of a recent media article regarding the above. We also acknowledge that mesh guards are being temporarily secured with tie-wire or heavy duty cable ties when welding plant is not available and to keep the bridge open for pedestrian safety. In effect we are satisfied that the bridge remains operational based on the current maintenance procedures.
