Motion: Councillor D. Smith

“That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to work in the planning
process to provide for a temporary car park beside Swords Educate
Together and Gaelscoil Bhrian Boroimhe in order to provide a safe
alighting area for parents delivering children to school during the works to
upgrade the Rathbeale Road, and will work with relevant landowners to
provide this facility.”

Report:
Following discussions with representatives of the Swords Educate
Together and Gaelscoil Bhrian Bóroimhe National Schools, the Council has
been in discussion with the developer with a view to the provision of a
temporary short term car parking facilitating, adjacent to the school
campus, during school drop off/ pick up times during the proposed
Rathbeale road closure. The detail of the operation of the short term
parking facilities, which may require the co-operation of the school
boards, has not yet been finalised. From discussions to date the Council
are confident of the Developers co-operation in this matter.
