QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward
To ask the Chief Executive to erect "Accompanied Horse and Ponies" warning signs in the vicinity of the Clondalkin Equine Club?
REPLY:
The Roads Department has agreed to erect a statutory warning sign for "Accompanied Horses and Ponies".
It should be noted that the Equine club is a stables facility only and does not provide riding facilities.
It should also be noted that it is the duty of all road users to obey the rules of the road.
The Road Safety Authority has published a guidance document for horse road safety on public roads, this is available online at;
