MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Tuesday 7th March 2006

QUESTION No. 13

M50 WIDENING

QUESTION: Councillor J. Lahart

"To ask the Manager to set up a mechanism, as required by An Bord Pleanala in its decision concerning the widening of the M50, of meeting with local residents during the construction phase of lanes 5 & 6 and to outline to the meeting how he intends to liaise with residents such as those representing my own neighbourhood of Orlagh Grove?"

REPLY:

It is intended to meet local residents along the route of the M 50 improvement scheme as soon as a contract is in place.  However there is only one contract at present from the N4 to Ballymount and a meeting has already been arranged with some residents along this route. The residents at Orlagh Grove will also be contacted to set up such a meeting or meetings as soon as a contract is in place for the balance of the scheme.  It is unlikely that a contract will be in place this year.
