QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Chief Executive for a detailed update on the Liffey Blueway project and plans for funding of works and projects in 2018?"
 
 REPLY:

South Dublin County Council and Fingal County Council jointly commissioned a River Liffey Blueway Feasibility Assessment. A meeting is planned with Fingal Council to review the draft feasibility assessment report and to examine the proposals outlined in the draft implementation plan. The tourism and recreational benefits will then be reviewed against the significant investment required by both local authorities to further develop the concept. Following this evaluation meeting, a briefing will be arranged for the elected members to provide a full update on the project around the time of the next Area Committee meeting.
