MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/FONTHILL AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 26, 2019

QUESTION NO. 24

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

This LAC requests, in keeping with the spirit of the decision made by the people of the former Lucan LEA, that South Dublin negotiate with Fingal County Council to the effect that this Council take over the lead role and responsibility for the restoration of The (Guinness) Silver Bridge once the results of the feasibility study become available and that the costs (where not provided by the Exchequer) be shared as always intended.

REPLY:

The Council are currently awaiting the final report and recommendations on any proposed works to The Silver Bridge but expect to receive it imminently.

Once this has been received from Fingal County Council, the Council will examine any proposals within and discuss with counterparts in Fingal. The Council will then be better placed to bring any potential programme of works back to the local area committee for discussion with elected members.
