Dublin City Council: Sandymount public realm and traffic-calming scheme to move to tender after Part 8 approval
The council is progressing a public realm and traffic-calming scheme through Part 8, with approval sought at the October meeting. If approved, detailed design and tender are expected by the end of this year, with construction targeted for summer 2027.
Dublin City Council · Ireland · 14 September 2026
Verified against the transcript — proposed, not yet agreed
The transcript says they are still “progressing well through the Part 8 process” and hope to “get approval for the part 8 in that October meeting” before “progress[ing] quickly with the detailed design and tender,” so the tender is only planned, not live.
