South Dublin County Council Crest

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 23, 2023

MOTION NO.20

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

This committee requests that the Chief Executive write to Google asking for an explanation on the methods Google uses to decide on place names/locations given the need for accuracy on residential and business addresses, e.g. Palmerston is not an address in South Dublin County and is misleading for anyone looking for Palmerstown Village or any residence or business with an address in Palmerstown. Similarly, all of Palmerstown Court, Green, Close and Lawns are in Palmerstown not Ballyfermot Upper.

REPORT:

If this Motion is passed a letter will be sent to Google in relation to the above.
