MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 24, 2024

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive to confirm if the entrance/gate at Griffeen Park (Newcastle Road) is being opened early enough in the morning to allow the car park to be used for school parking by the nearby schools, as agreed in a previous meeting following the passing of my motion.

REPLY:

The current arrangement is the gate is operated solely by keypad.  Once opened upon entry it remains open until the keypad is activated again at the end of the day when the last user exits the car park.  To ensure consistency of the opening time, the Public Realm Section is currently in discussions with the appointed automated gate contractor to regularise the opening time for 8am.
