MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 23, 2021

QUESTION NO. 21

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

To ask the Chief Executive if he will prioritise the repair of approximately 10m of footpath (between "Roseville" and opposite the Salmon Leap Inn) on safety grounds as this is too narrow and sloped and makes it difficult to cross over safely to the west side of the Liffey Bridge and indeed the Salmon Leap catering bus, the loop beside which adjacent to the water treatment plant and returning via Cooldrinagh has become very popular for walkers from Lucan seeking socially distanced recreation during Covid (there is no contiguous footpath the far side); and if a statement can be made on the matter?

REPLY:

The path in question has been inspected. There is no provision in the 2021 Roadworks Programme for works to the footpath on the Lucan to Leixlip Road. It is noted that the path terminates opposite the Salmon Leap and there is no path on the east side of the Liffey Bridge.
