QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

This Committee requests an update on the use of the €10,000 allocated for "New seating for the Crannagh Road area - Rathfarnham " under the 300k Have Your Say Initiative in 2022. What plans are currently in place to advance these works and what is the timeline for the competition of the project?

REPLY:

Upon investigation and discussion with the community group, the location identified in the images provided by the community group is not on public land and is in the ownership and care of the private estate behind it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ctod6DiDukc8ZGXt8 therefore the Council can’t place a bench in this specific location identified as it’s not on public land.

Other areas have been looked at in close proximity, however there is no suitable, safe location. The Public Realm team have made suggestions of other locations in the area which may be suitable and have contacted the submitter to suggest this.

The monies assigned to this project remain available to use should one of the locations suggested by the Public Realm team be agreed.
