MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 20, 2020

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

"To ask the Chief Executive what cleaning and sweeping regime the dual pedestrian and bicycle lane between the Ninth Lock Road near Cappaghmore and Fonthill Train Station is under? The litter on the lane appears not to have been removed on any occasion in 2020 by South Dublin County Council. Does the National Transport Authority or Iarnrod Éireann have any role in the upkeep of this lane? It's current state of maintenance discourages its use. This subject has been raised in January in Members Reps. ID: 1512112."

REPLY:

The lane in question is not maintained by South Dublin County Council.  It was constructed by Iarnrod Eireann, the land remains in their ownership and maintenance is their responsibility.  The Council will make contact with Iarnrod Eireann regarding the matter to request that they put a cleaning regime in place.
