SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 14, 2022

MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

Given the recent incidences of trip and fall accidents causing serious injury, that this Council undertakes an audit of the footpaths in the Rathfarnham Templeogue LEA with a view to identifying those footpaths in need of repair and arranges to carry out needed repairs as a matter of urgency

REPORT:

Road maintenance would not have the resources to carry out such an audit. However we will engage with IPB who deal with claims and see if they have a map that shows the locations of reported falls as this will allow us to target high frequency areas.

With regards to the falls that are referred to, if specific locations for these can be provided we can assess now and carry out localised repairs if deemed necessary
