MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 26, 2023

MOTION NO. 12

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

This Committee requests the CE to carry out an air pollution study in the Lucan, Palmerstown North Clondalkin areas. To also ask if an air pollution study has ever been carried out and to make a statement on the matter?

REPORT:

There are a number of air quality monitoring stations around Dublin, including locally in Lucan area.  The stations record real time data for air quality indicators and all information can be viewed by any member of the public on airquality.ie website.  I have forwarded a document with additional information and explanation.  Present readings and measurements would not indicate a need for additional studies as levels are within action limits set in the legislation and Air Quality for Health Index is in the Good range.  EPA Air Quality Bulletins for 2023 show good compliance across the Dublin area.
