MOTION NO.7

MOTION: Councillor V. Casserly

To call on the manager to conduct an access audit of Lucan, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin with residents with lived experience through engagement with the Disability and Equality officer to further develop and enhance access in our towns and villages

REPORT:

The Equality Officer is currently preparing a regional tender for a comprehensive programme of accessibility audits across towns, villages, and key facilities throughout South Dublin County. This programme is scheduled to commence by the end of Q4 2025.

A central component of the access audit process will be meaningful engagement with residents who have lived experience of disability. This will be facilitated through collaboration with the reconvened SDCC Disability Advisory and Consultative Panel and engaging with local residents with lived experience, ensuring that the audit recommendations are informed and impactful.

Lucan, Palmerstown, and North Clondalkin will be included in the scope of these audits, with the aim of identifying and addressing barriers to access and enhancing inclusion in these communities.
