MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, June 09, 2025

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive if he thinks that a new condition should be introduced to all planning permissions, stating that all existing road signs and bus stops shall be reinstated after construction?

REPLY:

All necessary checks are made by the Council to ensure any existing signs and bus stops are reinstated, where appropriate, before the public realm is taken back into our charge.

Road Signs and Bus Stops are in the public realm. They are generally situated on public footpaths or public verges, and the Council will ensure that all construction details are correct before we sign off the works as satisfactorily completed and take the public realm back into the Councils charge.  The Council do not believe that it is necessary to have a new planning condition added to all planning grants for this purpose.
