COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

That the Chief Executive, following on from the making safe and landscaping of the St Edmunds side of the opening with Mount Andrew and St Edmunds, takes immediate steps to ensure that the Mount Andrew side of the opening is completed to a similar high standard, in a way that would restrict motorcycles and mopeds from using the route, but facilitate cyclists, buggy pushers and wheelchair users; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

REPORT:

As previously advised under Q16 at the December 2022 ACM, the grass area between St Edmunds and the footpath beside Mount Andrew Avenue has not been taken in charge by the Public Realm Section.  The Public Realm Section does not have the authority to construct a path on the land in question.  The provision of a footpath at this location would be a matter for the landowner/management company.

The Public Realm Section would be prepared to write to the landowner/management company and convey the wishes of the Elected Members of their requirement to construct a path at this location. 

If the Motion is approved, a letter will be issued to the landowner/management company for their attention, and when a reply is received, the committee will be notified accordingly.
