MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.9

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

That this committee calls on SDCC to put the following signage "ST BRIGID'S PILGRIM PATH" up on the entrance to the path and that there should be appropriate signage at the top of Monastery Road pointing to St Brigid's Pilgrim Path (Knockmeenagh Lane and Road).

REPORT:

This path is on third party owned land. It is not in a safe state to encourage people to use it. There is no lighting and the surface is not level in some places.  As private land, the Council has no rights or responsibility over this path. There may be plans in the future to convert this path to a cycle link. This will be done as the third party land is developed. This path may in time be taken in charge and then SDCC could maintain and manage it appropriately. But for now, SDCC has no role in its upkeep or management. Therefore, SDCC will not be putting up a sign for an unsafe path.
