MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Tuesday 7th February 2006

QUESTION No. 10

ORWELL PARK HEIGHTS - NOISE DISTURBANCE

QUESTION: Councillor E. Walsh

"To ask the Manager to examine ongoing noise disturbance being experienced by residents in Orwell Park Heights adjacent to Willington Lane due to the impact of cars on the speed ramps to the south of St. MacDaras school and will he make a statement on the issue?"

REPLY

The area in question is within a 50 km/hr zone, and as such should not be subject to the noise levels referred to if drivers adhere to the required speed limit.  The Council will monitor the area with a view to submitting a report to the March 2006 Area Traffic Management Meeting. The matter will also be brought to the attention of the Gardai.
