MOTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

That this Tallaght Area Committee asks the Chief Executive if he would write to all necessary stakeholders in the operation of the Luas Light Rail System asking them to address local concerns regarding increasing noise generated by the Tram system, in particular, but not exclusively, along Katherine Tynan Road adjacent to Kingswood Heights Estate inviting them to meet with the area committee and present full details of the original design noise levels set down when the system was advertised and designed as the quietest public transport system and with a comparison to the current noise levels and that this Area Committee will be calling for immediate action and works to reduce the level of noise emanating from the operation of the Tram system and will also ask that the area adjacent to Kingswood Heights be the pilot project in this regard.

REPORT:

If the motion is passed a letter will issue on behalf the Area Committee Members and if a reply is received it will be circulated.
