In 2015, South Dublin County Council commenced an accessibility study within the Lucan Area. This project covered accessibility within the walking and cycling network, accessibility to public transport and accessibility to the N4 National Primary Route. The Newcastle Road (R120) formed part of the study area which was reviewed. The findings and recommendations from the overall Lucan Access Study are currently being finalised and the report will issue in due course."
