SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 26, 2015

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

Cathaoirleach's Business

"That the Chief Executive report on all correspondence with Fingal and all efforts made to organise the second meeting of the Liffey Valley Management Advisory Committee and makes due haste to arrange the next meeting before the summer break; especially as, contrary to a reply received by this Councillor's question two months ago, an agreement was made among those present at the first meeting for the second meeting to be held in early February."

REPORT:

A meeting was held to consider whether the Liffey Valley Managment Committee should be revived. In the interim South Dublin County Council has put in place a County Tourism Strategy. Fingal are in the process of doing likewise. In the light of these a further meeting could be arranged. However, the key issue to delivering public access is that most of the lands adjoining the river are privately owned and would require significant investment and agreement from land owners.
