MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 27, 2025

QUESTION NO.16

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

That on foot of previous replies to representations and questions that the CEO give an update in respect of request for a tap at the Old Esker Cemetery, including whether there is a water supply existing in the cemetery from the time there was a caretaker dwelling.

REPLY:

Uisce Éireann maps have been reviewed for the area and there is no identifiable water source on site.  Further site investigation works are required to see if the water supply to the former outhouses beside the caretaker’s house is still present and viable.  If no viable source is identified a new supply will have to be brought from the main road/footpath and this will require approval and facilitation by Uisce Éireann.
