MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor Carly Bailey

To ask the Chief Executive to confirm who has responsibility for the roads underneath the underpass system at the M50/Spawell? I was advised on a weekend that this was managed by the TII, with M50 Concession holding the contract. I contacted the out of hours service of the Council on a Sunday to report a huge amount of broken glass under one of the underpass pedestrian bridges, just before the path way that leads to the kissing gate at the Dodder Weir. I was informed it wasn't under the remit of SDCC nor was it clear on who to contact. M50 Concession did not appear to have an out of hours number that I could find. Who is responsible? Do they carry out work at weekends? Who is responsible if there were an accident? Who ensures that reports are looked after? I don't think this situation is at all satisfactory and would ask the Chief Executive to please consider at least ensuring that reports are passed on to the appropriate body to be handled. Another caller might not have bothered to keep trying to find who to call.

REPLY:

The roads underneath the M50/Spawell Interchange are managed by M50 Concession on behalf of TII.

People can contact M50 Concession directly with issues. SDCC contact M50 Concession via the following e mail address.  info@mtcc.ie
