COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, November 27, 2023

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"That this Tallaght Area Committee calls for an update on works on the Cycle Lane on Firhouse Road West and in responding to the Question will he confirm if he has received any contact from Eamonn Ryan TD Minister for Transport, following a request made in that regard during a recent Dail topical issues debate and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

The works on Firhouse Road West are progressing well. It is anticipated that by the end of November all that will remain between the roundabout at Whitestown Way and junction of Old Bawn Rd is the junction of Dalepark Rd and Firhouse Road West. The reason for the delay in the works at the Dalepark Road junction is to allow incorporation of design suggestions following feedback from the local residents.

There has been no direct contact from Eamonn Ryan TD Minister for Transport recently in relation to the scheme.

It should be noted that, as the D24 Network scheme is a Department of Transport (DoT) sponsored National Pathfinder project, that SDCC provides regular reports to both the NTA and the DoT in relation to progress on the scheme.
