SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 10, 2015

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Donovan

"That the Chief Executive add the Moyville Estate, together with Ballimeece Lane which goes out onto the main Ballinascorny Road and Glasivalaun Lane are all included in the Road Gritting Schedule as these estates are situated at the foot of the mountains and have very sharp inclines which makes them lethal during icy and snowy conditions."

REPORT:

The two roads and one estate  referred to are not included on the designated winter gritting routes. Funding on an annual basis for the winter gritting of Regional and major distributor roads comes from SDCC own resources.

The existing trucks, gritters and men are at capacity on the existing routes and there are no available resources to include for additional roads or estates. During inclement conditions however, a daytime gritting run can be arranged for the hill roads not included on the gritting routes.
