QUESTION NO. 31

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the chief executive for an estimate of the spending by South Dublin County Council on pothole repairs in 2023 and to date in 2024.

REPLY:

In 2024 the Council is planning to spend over 8m of road and footpath repairs across the County, which includes works to damaged roads and footpaths such as larger potholes. It is not possible to define that cost alone from within the overall repairs. 

However, in addition to the road works programme, the Council also carries out repairs to small potholes, referred to as a 'patching programme'. In 2023 there was €190,000 was spent on patching roads in the county.
