COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 24, 2022

MOTION NO. 27

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive, following on from an investigation that found blockages in both a foul gully and a surface water gulley at address to the rear of (Address Provided) to which an outlet pipe from a utility room flows, takes action to ensure that water no longer pools in the laneway behind houses listed in Arthur Griffith Park Lucan (272/273/274 and adacent), which is exacerbated following heavy rainfall. This issue did not arise when water from the rainfall was able to flow into an adjacent ditch and the Council needs to find a way to divert the water, irrespective of whatever obligation rests with the owner of the property concerned, as it is causing problems for residents living in a number of dwellings in AGP.

REPORT:

The main sewers are clear in the areas that can be accessed downstream of (address provided) in Arthur Griffith Park, but the Drainage Inspector has not yet been able to access the laneway beside and to the rear of 272/273/274 Arthur Griffith Park.  He has inspected the drainage within the property of (address provided) and reports that further investigation is needed with the assistance of the Water Pollution Control section and this is being arranged as soon as they can arrange access to areas between the properties.
