MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 24, 2022

MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan

That Chief Executive give his view on the timeline for the expected repair of the boundary wall of the Italian Embassy, and if it will be repaired in time for the proposed Lucan Festival in 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.
