CMB/170/11 CLONSILLA STATION IMPROVEMENT SCHEME QUESTION: Councillor K. Dennison “To ask the Manager how much money has been granted by the National Transport Authority (NTA) to Fingal County Council, for the Clonsilla Station Improvement Scheme, to outline the extent of the works, whether it will involve pay and display parking in Porters Gate or just works to the Hansfield and Clonsilla Roads and to estimate when it will go to tender and when works will commence?” REPLY: Approval was received in February 2011 from the NTA for the construction of the Traffic Management Scheme at Hansfield Road, Clonsilla.. and the associated Portersgate Estate Parking Management Scheme. The Hansfield Road scheme provides for the provision of parking places along both sides of the road, the signalization of the Hansfield road/Clonsilla Road Junction and associated footpath and cycle track work. The Portersgate Scheme provides for the introduction of short term Pay and Display Parking within the Estate. The approval was in the sum of €950,000. Tenders were received 04/04/2011 and work is planned to commence in June 2011 with the works being well scheduled to be completed in December 2011

The footbridge referred to above is to be installed on the station platform itself and is the subject of Iarnrod Eireann's own station improvement works including the provision of a bay platform for M3 off-peak services to use as a turnback facility.

Irish rail gets 100s of millions of euros of subsidies from the public purse yet is transparant as mud about what is planned/ other figures on spending. For the amount of public cash they process and digest you would think that such projects like a bridge possibly(/ probably) costing bonkers money - maybe 5million + including lifts and other stuff that makes public contracts so exorbitantly expensive - that information like that would be freely available to the public to inspect. EDIT: work at the station is indeed separate and under the following planning decision: http://planning.fingalcoco.ie/swiftlg/apas/run/WPHAPPDETAIL.DisplayUrl?theApnID=FW11A/0058&theTabNo=9&#tabdetails The possible future turnback platform is also visible on the various diagrams.
