REPLY:

This was discussed and agreed at the Traffic Management Meeting held on 22nd September, 2016.  

The procedure for the erection of Statutory signing/lining is as follows:

1.   The Technical Staff in LUPT prepare a map of the location and specification for the sign/lining to be erected

2.   List is prepared which includes  maps and specifications and forwarded to An Garda Síochána in Dublin Castle for their Statutory Approval

3.   Upon receipt of the Statutory Approval a Chief Executive Order is prepared by  the Staff in Traffic Section

4.   When order is signed a list of the approved signing and lining is prepared and given to the Council's contractor to carry out the works

5.   The whole process usually takes about four months from start to finish.
