COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 09, 2019

MOTION NO. 5

MOTION: Councillor P. Kearns

"Bus Connects” is a Government project imposed on Dublin and being carried out by the Government’s Semi State Body NTA.  South Dublin County Council’s only role in the planning of this proposal  was to provide information on traffic flows. If “Bus Connects” is implemented it will have a devastating impact on the small businesses in our urban villages along the route and we know that many of these SME’s  will not survive such a  downturn and would probably  go out of business for ever.

"That this Area Committee therefore calls on the Taoiseach and the Minister for Transport to provide  details of the support package they intend to provide to help sustain these businesses during construction and  post construction, furthermore that SDCC be compensated   by Government  to allow for a  rates remission on these buildings during this period”

REPORT:

If the Motion is passed by the Members, a letter will issue to An Taoiseach and the Minister for Transport, and when received details of the reply(ies) will be circulated.
