COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, June 27, 2023
MOTION NO. 3
MOTION: Councillor L. O’Toole
This committee seeks a further update in regards to the plans around the site for proposed GCC. I’m regularly contacted by locals highlighting the traffic congestion along the Griffeen Avenue and asks if examination of the new plans for the new school site (Griffeen Community College) can be revisited. See one example of emails revived regarding traffic challenges in the area.
REPORT:
Griffeen Avenue has several frequent Bus Services including the C1, C2, and the L53.
A new service has started on the 26/06/2023 which is called the W4 route which goes from the Tallaght to Liffey Valley Shopping centre via the R136 road. The proposed timetable is attached to this Motion.
Moreover, the Kishogue Railway Station is at preliminary design stage and there is a commitment to have this open as soon as possible.
Also, the Southern link road is under construction and when complete the NTA is prepared to roll out additional Bus services along this road which will also add to the service connections in this area.
There are preliminary plans to use the Thomas Omer Way as another Bus route to connect to Dart Stations and Liffey Valley Shopping centres.
All these interventions are providing good alternative travel modes in this area and will encourage less car usage and more public transport use.
