MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM / TEMPLEOGUE / FIRHOUSE / BOHERNABREENA AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 14, 2026

MOTION NO.8

MOTION: Councillor Y. Collins

That this Council provides for the regular inspection and adjustment, as necessary, of the volume of the audible signal on all parts of the pedestrian crossing from the Yellow House to the Church of the Annunciation, Rathfarnham and the crossing to Rathfarnham Castle Park, as residents report it can be very difficult "identify the walk signal" if there is even slight ambient noise, and this is a hazard for the visually impaired.

REPORT:

 The audible signals have been adjusted several times in the recent past at this location.  The maintenance contractor will be requested to replace the push button pedestrian signal box and set it at the highest sound level possible. It is hoped this solves the issue raised in this question.
