MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 10, 2025

MOTION NO.3

MOTION: Councillor P. Cosgrave, Councillor D. McManus, Councillor J. Sinnott

That this ACM asks the Chief Executive to install a new seating area for social and community use, on a section of concrete outlay within public realm outside 49-51 Main Street Rathfarnham, that such work takes place in consultation with local stakeholders and this ACM recognises the value of investing in public realm on our main streets and villages? 

REPORT:

SDCC are very supportive of public realm improvements that bring life and vitality to our streets. The construction of one off measures needs to be done carefully and take due consideration of current amenities and future plans for the village. We do not want to be in a position where we are spending money on an improvement measure now that will not be in keeping with a future scheme.

A site meeting with Cllrs is proposed for later this month which will give us an opportunity to discuss works within the village in more detail.
