MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 18, 2012

MOTION NO. 16

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That this Committee requests the Manager to write separately to the Minister for Transport Leo Varadker and the National Transport Authority to remind them that South Dublin had been advised on two occasions about the opening of Kishogue Station, first that it would be opened for use in 2012, and subsequently in 2013, and that the Committee is now most disappointed that Irish Rail has advised that the NTA has not allocated the necessary capital finance for the construction of an access road, and requests an immediate decision to construct the road and open the station in 2013, so that a modern station, built as part of the major infrastructure project, the Kildare Route project, and close to many housing estates in south Lucan is not left idle."

REPORT:

If the Motion is approved letters will issue as requested and the Committee will be informed when a response is received.
