MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday,November 23rd , 2021

QUESTION NO. 19

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

A number of correspondences have been requested in relation to writing to Gardaí Siochana for a report on how many fines have been issued to HGV drivers that are breaking the HGV schooltime ban. There have been many questions raised by residents/parents of school going children as to why there is a huge volume of HGV's driving through the restricted area at the times its prohibited.

REPLY:

If the committee so wishes the Gardai will be contacted to request this information. If the query relates to a specific area this would aid in any such request.

There are some periodic school time weight restrictions and there are other weight restrictions that do not contain any clauses relating to school times.

It is important to know which HGV restrictions are in question and the full description of the particular HGV restriction.

I will follow up with the the elected member to get the details of the location or locations of the HGV restrictions and the information being requested.
