MOTION NO. 10

MOTION: Councillor S. O'Hara

That this Area Committee calls on the relevant sections of South Dublin County Council including the Water and Drainage section to urgently review the effectiveness of the works carried out and assess the current drainage and flooding impacts on neighbouring properties at Fairgreen Saggart, and to report back with findings and recommended actions to resolve the ongoing issues.

REPORT:

Natural Water have been liaising with the developer on the private lands beside Fairgreen, Saggart.  The developer in response to the drainage issues experienced by the residents at Fairgreen, has committed to installing a drainage pipeline on the field side of the Fairgreen houses. The developer is connecting all existing land drains into the new drainage system to prevent surface water ingress to the properties.

The developer expects that the drainage system will be complete by the end of January and that the drainage issues at Fairgreen will then be resolved.
