MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, February 22, 2016

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor M. Murphy

"To ask the Chief Executive to bring a report to the Tallaght Area Committee as to what the schedule is for re-aligning the Greenhills Road. Can the Chief Executive confirm that this job is going ahead on foot of a decision made almost 10 years ago by the Council?"

REPLY:

The realignment of the Greenhills Road has been an objective of sucessive County Development Plans for many years with a dedicated road reservation being retained for this purpose.

The Part 8 for the scheme was approved by the Council in 2006 but has not been progressed due to the economic downturn. It is not expected that any significant progress will be made on the scheme for a number of years, pending the availability of funding.

Works to complete a roundabout and access road into Ballymount Industrial Estate are due to progress this year but such works will not impact on residential areas.
