QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"A local group Friends of the Camac is interested in trying to work on getting the Walkway / Cycleway from Clondalkin Village to the canal path at Woodford installed.  Can the Chief Executive present a report on this project which was examined before by the council with a view to seeking permeability funding.  Could funding be sought again?  The Waters and Communities organisation will be working with the local group.  Could the council collaborate with this group to seek alternative sources of funding?"

REPLY:

 The following response was submitted in response to a similar question (Q9 – Item 43095) to the Clondalkin ACM in Feb 2015. No funding has been allocated by the NTA for these works to date. 

“Please find attached the report from February 2013 considering a possible Greenway along the Camac to link to the Grand Canal Greenway. South Dublin County Council were successful in submitting the proposed Greenway along the Camac for inclusion in the National Transport Authority's (NTA) 'Greater Dublin Area' Cycle Network Plan as Secondary Route 7C and as one of the proposed Greenways for the Dublin area. However, to date South Dublin have been unsuccessful in accessing funding for the Camac Greenway, with the exception of the section through Clondalkin Park completed in 2012”.
