MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 24, 2015

MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Cathaoirleach’s Business

"Now that the correct name and spelling of Palmerstown has been restored, that the Chief Executive responsible write to the AA informing them that the M50 J7 is the “Palmerstown” exit and that this junction should be accurately described as such. The major roads at this junction are the N4 and the R148 sometimes referred to as the Lucan Road. The same road becomes the Chapelizod by-pass further on towards the city. The historical Lucan Road does in fact run in parallel from Chapelizod to Lucan, truncated in places by the M50 but the M50 does not feed into it, and it is sometimes now referred to, inaccurately, as the “Old Lucan Road”. There is no such place as “Old Lucan” and people living on this road should not be miss-identified."

REPORT:

Any difficulties arise from the lack of consistant naming of the N4 sometimes know as the Lucan ByPass, Palmerstown ByPass, Galway Road etc. The re-naming of this road would dispell any confusion, should this motion be agreed the NRA will be contacted and the Committee will be notified.
