SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, February 22, 2021

QUESTION NO. 21

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

"To ask the Chief Executive how many proposals has been received for the 2021 proposals for ramps in the Tallaght South Area and what areas are being considered? When does the Manager expect these applications to come before the Area Committee for agreement?"

REPLY:

The Council recently completed a consultation process for traffic calming and much of these works have been completed.  Works had to cease because of Level 5 restrictions. Applications which were received after the closing date for this consultation process will be considered for any future traffic calming programme.  One completed application form for the Tallaght Area was received in 2021 and 6 applications in 2020 which will be considered for inclusion. 

If a traffic calming programme of works is agreed for 2020, it will be considered at the end of the year depending on the number of applications received.  It is not cost effective to engage a contractor unless there are sufficient applications and in order to improve the tender price, the Council usually advertise for 2 years applications together.  Therefore, it is not likely the there will be any further traffic calming programmes proposed until at least spring 2022 if at all.
