Observations

Option B - The Green Route

Dear Sir/Madam

RE  CO1921  CABLE ROUTE B OPTION

Further to meeting with EIrgrid Consultants and Grainne Duffy at the recent Open Day at St Margarets GAA Complex I outlined the reasons the Proposed CABLE ROUTE B OPTION will not work for our company which is situated on the R135 road behind the Brock Inn Public House and Restaurant.

We are a Fresh Produce company located at D11YW57 on the R135 Road Broghan Lane The Ward Co Dublin employing 75 people who mostly travel in cars to and from work.  We are  open 24 hours per day supplying Multiple supermarkets with their Fresh Fruit Vegetable and Potato deliveries.  Out customer base includes deliveries to Central Distribution Warhousing for Aldi Lidl SuperValu Centra Spar Mace Costcutters and Gala Supermarkets in addition to wholesale customers.

We have 40 to 50 movements of articulated trucks in and out of our premises on a daily bases plus rigid and van deliveries 24 hours per day with trucks leaving during the night for Cork deliveries and also at any time to match Central Distribution Depot Scheduled deliveries.

The R135 road presently is only wide enough for one artic truck to travel downwards to our premises from R121 (Old n2 Road) at the bends in the road and cars coming from the Shallon Lane or Dunsoughly direction have to reverse back to allow access for all truck vehicles coming and going from our premises.

Your agents advised that they would need to dig up significant meters to lay the cable on this proposed route at Broghan Lane which I would presume would necessitate closing this road.

Please acknowledge receipt of our submission which information was given at the Open Day to your representatives regarding the business we operate on the R135 Road. 

Many thanks,
