QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive how Motion 7 from the October 2024 Clondalkin ACM has been followed up in terms of the water and drainage concerns raised?

REPLY:

 SDCC met with the Property Owner in October 2025 to obtain access to the site. The SDCC Engineer also met with Residents at this time.  SDCC carried out a follow up inspection and a preliminary survey of the site,  which identified potential issues with the level of fill on the raised land.

The Property Owner installed a small land drain to the rear of the residents affected, but it has not appeared to fully address the issues.

A further meeting was held with the Property Owner on the 15th April 2025, where they provided confirmation to SDCC that they have engaged both an environmental consultant and a design consultant to address the issues associated with their lands and have committed to liaise with SDCC during the design process.

SDCC will continue to engage with the Property Owner and Residents.
