See New Metro Dart Plan at Lucan Festival
On behalf of Lucan Planning Council and ACRA the main promotors of the alternative Metro Dart Plan would like to show this simple idea to the people of Lucan to ensure the users in Lucan and most of Ireland don't lose out. This is a great opportunity to finally get public transport right, if missed it may take several more decades to get a solution or if ever.
This with the ever-increasing numbers of cars from the massive extra housing that will be built over the next few decades. This new proposal allows users to be taken direct to all destinations essential for work not only the city centre as many activities are now located outside the city centre and increasing.
This new rail plan maximises rail use by up to five-fold by both way usage. The present rail network is mainly one-way; rail line is full inwards at morning peak with little usage outwards at the same time. We will have a pull up banner near Lucan Village bridge to help explain this plan. We would like to hear your views and inputs welcome.

Lucan Weir: I'm pleased to see the works completed and access to the River Liffey restored ahead of the Lucan Festival this week and the Liffey Descent on Saturday 19th September.
Flooding Finnstown: I continue to raise flooding at this location. Jetting and cleaning works took place on 20th August which identified sections of the drainage network blocked by silt. However, further work was hampered by sealed manholes and the drain running across the Newcastle Road. Crews are at work all this week to resolve these issues.
Cooldrinagh Water Leak: Leak was found and fixed last week.
Airlie Park Free Community Movie Day: Movie from 3:00pm to 4:30pm
Lucan Festival: Well done to the committee for putting together another great week of activities for all to enjoy. I look forward to seeing you there.

Promenade Open at Long Last: Following two urgent reports to me recently about possible delays at Promenade (Weir), I made a high-level call within SDCC. Delighted to see the promenade opened a couple of days later, in time for Lucan Festival 2026. Great timing also for 65th annual Liffey Descent, 19 September, from K-Club, Kildare to TCD Boat Club in Islandbridge.
SDCC Free Mattress Amnesty & Waste Electric Recycling: The popular electric recycling and mattress amnesty returns to AGP0 car park (Lucan Harriers), Newcastle Road, from 10.00am to 1.00pm 9th September.
Adamstown GP Service Delay: Despite HSE assurances that a GP service would operate from the Adamstown Primary Care Centre by June 2026, delays now mean an alternative service may not be in place until 2027. I will follow up.
