QUESTION NO.19

QUESTION: Councillor M. Johansson

To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on any traffic investigations that have been carried out at sites where cyclists have been injured or died on roads in the ACM area?

REPLY:

A cyclist fatality occurred on the 11 June 2025 on the R136 at the Griffeen / Ballygaddy junction.  A LA16 accident report has been carried out by the Council and this report has been passed to the Road Management Office.  This report will be part of the evidence used to complete a thorough investigation of the incident.

Information on other cyclist accidents, if reported to an Garda Síochána, would be on the Garda "Pulse" system.  The release of this information would be subject to strict GDPR protocols. 

If the reason for an accident was thought to be roads related, the Gardai would get in touch to inform South Dublin of any roads item that needed attention.  No incidents of this nature have been received from the Gardai in recent times.

In general, South Dublin County Council collates customer and elected member complaints in relation to road safety matters, and we act diligently to address any safety concerns on our road, footpath and cycle lane networks.
