MOTION NO.12

MOTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

That this Council, noting the ongoing regular incidence of collisions on the M50 leading to chronic congestion on the regional road network, calls for the immediate completion and publication of the interagency plan for M50 emergency management which was first mooted 12+ months ago. 

REPORT:

TII have had a number of requests for this document and so TII have just put a copy on their website. Note that personal details such as mobile phone numbers have been removed from this published copy.

The Interagency Incident Response Group (IICG) was set up in 2015 and comprises representatives from An Garda Síochána, Dublin Fire Brigade, the four Dublin Local Authorities, Transport Infrastructure Ireland and the Motorway Traffic Control Centre. The role of the group is to ensure a coordinated approach to the management of incidents that occur on motorways in the Greater Dublin Area. The IICG put in place a ‘Protocol for the management of major incidents on motorways’ in April 2016 and this document has been subject to ongoing review since that time.
