MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, November 25, 2025

MOTIONS NO.16

MOTIONS: Councillor L. O'Toole

That this Committee expresses concern regarding the removal of bus shelters from several locations across the Lucan area including prominent and high-usage stops and requests that the Chief Executive engage with the National Transport Authority (NTA) to seek an urgent update on when these shelters will be reinstated. While a previous response from the NTA outlined that certain shelters were removed due to planning or structural requirements it is not acceptable that many stops remain without shelters for such an extended period. The current situation impacts commuters daily and undermines efforts to promote the use of public transport. This Committee further requests that the NTA outline clear timelines for reinstatement and any measures being taken to expedite the process given that some shelters have now been missing for many months.

REPORT:

If this motion is passed, a letter in this regard will be issued to the National Transport Authority (NTA) on behalf of the Local Area Committee. The response, when received, will be circulated to the Members.
