MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 28, 2023

QUESTION NO.9

QUESTION: Councillor V. Casserly

To ask the manager for an update on the green link into Vesey Park.

REPLY:

SDCC and Fingal County Council (FCC) have been working together with the consultant on the Phase 2 Options and Feasibility report, which includes a feasibility study of an Active Travel Route to or through Vesey Park. There have been delays due to resourcing and a final report is currently expected in December 2023.

Once a final report is received, SDCC and FCC will present it to their respective councillors and launch an informal public consultation on the report/options. A date for this meeting and launch has yet to be determined.

The Environment, Water and Climate Change Directorate (EWCC) have worked with the Developer of the new Esker Lawn Cemetery to provide a Green Link along the southern edge of the cemetery to the boundary with Vesey Park. A connection into Vesey Park at this location will prove challenging due to the local topography.
