"That this Committee calls for South Dublin County Council to ensure that an outer Ring Road for Newcastle is part of future development of the area and they work with Transport Infrastructure Ireland to ensure that the traffic and HGV issues in the area are dealt with, and that this motion is also copied to Transport Infrastructure Ireland."

REPORT:

The Outer ring road is contained on our current County Development Plan.  It is also contained as an objective in our pending County Development Plan due to be adopted in the autumn of this year.

SDCC further has asked that this objective be included in the GDA Transport Strategy Plan 2022 to 2042 in the latest public consultation process that took place in November 2021.

SDCC has also asked the NTA to carry out Transport studies in the Rathcoole, Greenogue, Newcastle and environs to identify the transport needs at this location.  SDCC have identified that these areas as having significant congestion problems and impressed on the NTA that timely inventions are necessary.

SDCC Traffic Department can send a copy of this Motion to the NTA and TII for their attention.
