MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

Cathaoirleach's Business

"Knockmeenagh Lane in Clondalkin runs from Monastery Road beside the IBIS roundabout to St Brigid´s Cottages along the south side of the SIAC quarry. The lane has existed for hundreds of years and is shown on maps from the 18th century. Vehicles drove on the lane up until the 1960's and it currently has the potential to be a Greenway given it is away from a main road, and has nice views of both the mountains and into the quarry itself. This Committee calls upon Management to take whatever measures and consultations are necessary to take the lane in charge as suggested in the response to Members Reps. ID: 1560807."

REPORT:

South Dublin County Council agree that Knockmeenagh lane would make a quality Cycle and Pedestrian Route.

For some unusual reason the route is not Taken In Charge and as such South Dublin County Council are not empowered to carry out work on it without it being made public.

South Dublin County Council will investigate the land ownership through land Registry and write to the relevant parties that own the land on which the lane lies. We will seek their agreement to TIC.

South Dublin County Council will bring a future report to this ACM to advise on progress on this matter.
