MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, July 13, 2020

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

Does the Chief Executive have plans to liaise with the NTA with a view to organising a full, up to date, presentation and briefing in relation to BusConnects for Councillors in each affected LEA and not just in relation to the SPC concerned, given the importance of the subject matter and the implications it will have for many of our constituents.

 REPLY:

The NTA attended the February, 2020 Meeting of the LUPT SPC to which all Elected Members of SDCC were invited to attend and at which Members were, on this one off occasion, afforded opportunity to contribute. 

The NTA is happy to meet with any Councillors in a structured way (not at a full Council meeting).   A decision on such format will be brought to the September 2020 Area Committee Meetings. 

It should be noted that a further round of consultations is approaching whereby Councillors and public will be afforded the opportunity to make their individual observations and submissions.
