MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 25, 2021

QUESTION NO. 27

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive report on any proposed improvements by TII or SDCC following on my raising of noise issues for residents from the M50 wall at Palmerstown Cemetery right back along to the intersection; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPLY:

Discussion were held with TII regarding the noise issue raised. They informed the Environmental Health Team that there are already noise barriers in place along that stretch of road adjacent to the nearest noise sensitive residential properties. Noise monitoring is being carried out by TII in this area with results available on there website. 

Actions which may reduce noise by a limited amount require additional studies and a cost benefit analysis. 

Further discussion will be had with TII to follow up on this issue.
