MOTION NO.4

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Cathaoirleach's Business 

That this Area Committee Meeting requests the Chief Executive to write to an Garda Síochána to provide a detailed report on recent Garda enforcement activities regarding Heavy Good Vehicles (HGV’s) on the Newcastle Road where there is a current school time HGV ban. Given the consistent concerns raised about the increased volume of HGV traffic on this road and previous motions calling for a full HGV ban this Committee welcomes information on Garda checks in the area. The report should include details of the frequency, scope and outcomes of these Garda operations specifically in relation to the stretch of the Newcastle Road where the school time ban is in place to inform and support the case for progressing a full HGV ban on this route.

REPORT:

 If the motion is passed, its terms will be brought to the attention of An Garda Síochána and a response requested.
