MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, September 17, 2025

MOTION NO. 18

MOTION: Councillor S. O'Hara

That this Area Committee launches a Village Enhancement Scheme for Rathcoole, with the aim of investing in the village while also addressing and alleviating ongoing traffic congestion issues.

REPORT:

A traffic analysis is currently being carried out for the Rathcoole and Newcastle areas.

It would not be appropriate for an enhancement scheme to be considered until the findings of this report are examined.

A village enhancement scheme could progress without resolving the traffic issues but it would be preferable to design the two schemes as a single project to get the optimum outcome.
