COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 27, 2018

MOTION NO. 7

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

That this Area Committee requests that South Dublin County Council write to the NRA and to Google asking that all PALMERSTOWN signage and references be corrected. Both bodies insist on indicating there is such a destination in Dublin 20 (or Dublin 22) as Palmerston. 

It is five years since the people of Palmerstown Village voted in Plebiscite to have the correct name used in all official signs, maps and documentation. 

Can you please forward a copy of the relevant documentation to both bodies and have them immediately amend their records and all public signage? The last time I enquired the NRA stated that they would do so in 2019. Can they now supply a firm date?

REPORT:

This matter was raised at Lucan ACM earlier in the year.  A letter was written to TII in this regard and they responded.  They informed the Council that to replace signs at the moment would incur considerable expenditure.  No commitment was given to replace the signs in 2019.  See attached correspondence in this regard.

A letter has also issued to Google Ireland requesting them to make the necessary amendments to Google Maps.
