MOTION NO.23

MOTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive to write to the Chief Executive of Fingal County Council to request an update on the joint feasibility study on opening up the Silver Bridge to pedestrian and cyclist access and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPORT:

Fingal County Council and South Dublin County Council are in regular contact with regard the Silver Bridge at Palmerstown and following recent correspondence Fingal County Council were able to update South Dublin County Council that Fingal finished the bridge structural stabilisation works earlier this year (2024) and that future phases of work will require a brief for a feasibility study to assess how and whether the bridge can be developed as an asset.

That work is being undertaken by Fingal County Council in collaboration with South Dublin County Council. To this end it is the Council’s intention to conduct a meeting between the two client Departments of the Local Authorities in December 2024.
