MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"That the Chief Executive moves immediately to erect metal palisade fence at the entrance off St Colmcilles Way and that additional fencing be placed along the entire wall so as to deny access from the M50 off ramp at Knocklyon.  The area runs parallel to Orlagh Park, and is located behind the timber fencing and between the Orlagh Park/ Beverly Estate Wall. The area can be easily accessed from St Colmcilles Way or if you walk down the M50 off ramp at the south bound exit this area can be similarly accessed. A hut had been constructed in the area  and is ideally suited for anyone who wishes to engage in any criminal behaviour and Gardai have found evidence of drug use in the area.  This also needs to be removed as a matter of urgency."

REPORT:

The maintenance repair and upkeep of the boundary treatment at this location is a matter for the National Roads Authority.  Should the Motion be passed the matter will be referred to the National Roads Authority and when a response is received the Members will be notified.
