COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, December 16, 2019

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor Sandra Fay

That this Area Committee calls on the Council to include a suitable railing around the green area in Ard Mor Estate in the next public works programme. This would provide a safer play space for children in what is a busy estate.

REPORT:

The Council in general does not fence off estate open spaces in the manner requested here.  The boundary of the open space is approximately 300 metres long, an estimate of cost to install a railing around the area including the provision of pedestrian accesses and an access for grass cutting machinery is approximately €60,000.   Such a railing is likely to present a number of problems including the maintenance of the railing itself.  The Public Realm Section has no plans at the present time to carry out this work.
