As you may have read in our latest newsletter, the Local Electoral Area Boundary Committee Report, published on May 30, has recommended changes to Dublin City Council electoral areas. A new electoral area to be known as Rathgar-Rathmines is being created with 6 council seats, and this will include all of Terenure with a western boundary along Fortfield Road and Lower Kimmage Road. Previously the boundary ran down Terenure Road North and Rathfarnham Road, splitting Terenure into two electoral areas and consequently two DCC administrative areas, which resulted in effectively two different sets of authorities dealing with all aspects of Terenure public life, from roads to waste collection, graffiti removal to public amenities. Dublin City Council will reorganise its administrative areas accordingly and this will make dealing with the council on Terenure related issues much easier.
