Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Review of National Planning Framework and Climate Targets: Discussion

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I will take the question about Hazelhatch. We developed a solution to the constraint there and it went to a consultation under section 38 of the Road Traffic Act 1994, as amended. I have not been in contact with South Dublin County Council for a couple of weeks and am not sure what the outcome is of that consultation. The Deputy may know the outcome. The solution seemed doable, involving a bit of extra delay for some car traffic in order to be able to push through the bus service. I will follow up on the matter and send a note to the Deputy. I am fairly sure, unless there is a local objection we are not aware of, that it is a solution with which we can proceed.
