SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 20, 2018

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"To ask the Chief Executive to report on the issue of flooding in Main Street Rathcoole, where there seems to be an increasing tendency for inundation.  What is the reason for this and what steps are being taken to address the issue? 

Can the Council look into the provision of flood-defence barriers for the houses which have, on a number of occasions now, been flooded. 

REPLY:

The South Dublin County Council Drainage Section cleared the surface water drains in this area approximately 2 years ago and have revisited the area on occasion since. It appears that these works have not completely resolved the issue, which we are now re-examining.

Once the cause is identified the Drainage section will arrange for works to be carried out to rectify the issue.
