MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, January 23, 2024

HEADED ITEM NO.4

HEADED ITEM: J. Hegarty, Laura Leonard

 Palmerstown Laneways

REPLY:

Ownership /Legal title to the laneways

The vast majority of the laneways in the locality are registered to private parties - the one exception is a small section at the eastern end, to the rear of Oakcourt Avenue which is in the ownership of the Council.

The Council do not hold legal title to most of the laneways in this area although most are in charge. In this instance, if the public right of way over these laneways was to be extinguished, the registered owners would then have unencumbered title to the laneways concerned and they should then be considered to be private property.

The attached map shows the roads, paths and laneways in Palmerstown which have been taken in charge by Roads. Those in charge are  highlighted in yellow, those in red are not.
