MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 19

MOTION: Councillor Y. Collins

That much needed resurfacing and repairs on the Main Street in Rathfarnham Village be carried out as soon as possible, particularly at the end of the Village where the surfaces have deteriorated badly. I note that €30K had been allocated for these works but that as the area was being dug up by Irish Water, that the €30K was allocated to Butterfield Avenue instead. I would be obliged if you could please confirm that these monies may now be reallocated and expended for the benefit of the Main Street in the Village as this is now urgent and long overdue.

REPORT:

Road Maintenance are fully aware of the need to carry out some works on Rathfarnham Main Street but we are not willing to invest significant money when there is potential for an Uisce Eireann scheme to come through and dig it up. We are still requesting an update from Uisce Eireann regarding the status of this scheme.

If we can confirm that Uisce Eireann are not proceeding with their scheme then we will try to carry out a scheme in Q3 or Q4 of this year if funding is available and if not we will include it in the 2025 RWP.
