COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor W. Carey

That this Area Committee agrees that SDCC should construct a bridge/ford over the low footpath crossing where the Camac regularly overflows (as per design) onto Clondalkin Common. The objective here is provide for continuous use when flooding occurs across the path here.

REPORT:

Natural Water acknowledge that the Camac overtops at the footpath in Clondalkin Commons into the nearby ditch during flooding events.

There is an alternative footpath and bridge nearby which is accessible during flooding events.

Therefore, the construction of a new bridge over this footpath is currently not being considered.
