MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 23, 2021

QUESTION NO. 25

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the street furniture licence applications for Lucan Electoral Area and if there are any plans to promote this further in the area

REPLY:

Members will be aware that throughout the Covid 19 pandemic, the Council has been looking towards ways of protecting employment and supporting local business and livlihoods, and to this end we agreed a mechanism which could address the need of the local hospitality industry where additional space to put tables and chairs outside their premises might be provided.

 A Temporary Covid Street Furniture License was introduced which can be issued (free of charge) in suitable circumstances AFTER an initial request for a preliminary assessment has been made by businesses.

 To date there have been no applications received for Temporary Covid Street Furniture licences from relevant business operators in the Lucan Electoral Area.
