MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 26, 2022

MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

To ask the manager to expedite the negotiations for repairs required to the wall on the Leixlip Rd in Lucan Village, that bounds the Italian Ambassador's residence, with a view to completing these works in advance of the annual Lucan Festival scheduled for September.

REPORT:

SDCC are in ongoing communication with the Italian Embassy regarding the collapsed section of wall.

There is a dispute over who is responsible for the repair and SDCC are firmly of the belief that the Italian Embassy are responsible for this.

There has been a high turnover of embassy staff as a result of the new ambassador and the new staff have had to take time to familiarise themselves with all the issues. SDCC are satisfied that progress is being made towards a resolution.

It is not currently possible to give a timeline for these repairs but it is unlikely that the wall will be repaired before September.
