COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 25, 2022

MOTION NO. 16

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive provides members with a copy of the consultant report on the wall breach at the Italian Embassy grounds opposite the Maxol garage; outlines a date for repairs to commence, assuming agreement has been reached between the various parties; and clarifies that the ongoing safety issues for pedestrians at this location will not affect the provision of a safe pedestrian crossing into the upgraded Lucan Demesne entrance, should such works be ready to proceed in advance of any wall repair.

REPORT:

 The detailed design for the repair of the wall is currently underway. It is expected to be completed by the end of November.

The construction commencement date will be dependent on the responsible party procuring a contractor and on the availability of this contractor to commence the works. It is not currently possible to give a date for this as it is beyond our control.

The temporary pedestrian management at the wall collapse will not be an impediment to the construction of a new crossing at the demesne.
