At the December meeting of the Central Area Committee I asked Dublin City Council to provide a report on what action Dublin City Council has taken to address the problem with surface flooding in the parking area on Iona Park at the corner with Lindsey Road and at the top of Lindsey Road and the lane to the rear of Prospect Road . Dublin City Council advised me that the gullies at these locations were cleaned on 3rd December 2012. I hope this is going to improve the situation and will keep an eye to see if the it re-occurs.
