“That the North Central Area Committee agrees that the portion of the Part 8 Fairview to Amien’s Street Cycleway between Clontarf Railway Bridge and Annesley Bridge which was approved at October’s City Council is not in the interests of our area and we call on the CEO DCC to work with us on exploring all options and resolving this issue as a matter of urgency”.

The motion was not heard pending legal advice on the matter and will be discussed at the November NCAC.
