MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, March 24, 2025

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

Could the Manager please inform this Area Committee of a timeframe for commencement of works on the BusConnects corridor through Birchview, Kilnamanagh and the Construction Compound at Bancroft.

REPLY:

SDCC have not been contacted by the NTA in relation to a construction start date for the Tallaght to City centre core bus corridor scheme. 

However, SDCC have been given notice that the Compulsory Purchase Order for the additional land required for the construction of the Tallaght to City centre bus corridor is now "in operation".  This means that effectively the NTA can start to enter the detailed lands and make preparations for the future Bus Corridor scheme.  I understand that the NTA are still finishing the detailed design of the scheme and construction tender documents.

SDCC have contacted the NTA to get a timeline update for the main deliverables of the scheme.

We will inform the members of the NTA response as soon as we receive it.
