COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 09, 2024

MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor P. Kearns

Cathaoirleach's Business

That this committee calls on the manager to outline why it is taking so long to repair the vast amount of potholes in the area and is there any redress being offered by the NTA due to what would appear to be damage caused by their heavy plant equipment.

REPORT:

A patching contractor has recently been appointed and they are commencing work next week in the county. It is hoped that this will resolve a number of significant road defects in the county.

With regard to damage, we consider this routine wear and tear on the roadway and these defects are not specifically associated with any NTA works. Road Maintenance tend not to carry out routine road repairs on roads we know are due to be upgraded under NTA schemes so for that reason these areas are likely to have more defects.
