COMHAIRLE CHONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TERENURE-RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE (1)

Tuesday 4th April 2006

QUESTION No. 9

PUBLIC TRANSPORT - UTILITY OF ROADS

QUESTION: Councillor J. Lahart

"To ask the Manager to outline whether it is possible for public transport to utilise roads not in the charge of the Council as was traditionally the case and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

Roads not in charge remain the responsibility of the developer until the statutory process is completed.   Whilst public transport operators may use such roads there may be insurance implications.   The developer may be held responsible in the event of an accident/claim from such usage.   Accordingly, the developer may not sanction such usage unless an appropriate indemnity is received.
