MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, December 15, 2025

QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor N. Whelan

To ask the manager if he has any update on the verbal commitment that was made in Nov 2024 TAC meeting to follow up with the National Monuments Service in relation to the maintenance of "The Fosse" in High Street, Tallaght?

REPLY: 

South Dublin County Council has no remit in this matter and so has no responsibility to engage with the owners regarding concerns raised over the years in relation to the maintenance of the archaeological feature that is the rampart around the edge of the land. 

This Area Committee has been advised previously that the site is in private ownership and service provision is a matter for the National Monuments Service.

Anyone with concerns regarding archaeological features should direct their queries and concerns to this national body.
