The Brooks timber and building supplies group has filed a lawsuit against Dublin City Council, claiming a new link road from the M50 will create a junction unsuitable for articulated trucks. The company, which operates a building supplies depot at the end of Fern Road, frequently receives 40-foot trucks. Brooks argues that the council committed to designing a junction capable of accommodating such trucks, but the proposed design falls short. The council has agreed to postpone construction work scheduled for next month until the matter is settled in court.
The Brooks timber and building supplies group has claimed before the High Court that a new link road from the M50 to one of their outlets in Dublin would create a junction unable to accommodate articulated trucksThe work will include a new junction at the intersection between what will become the cul de sac of Fern Road East and the new link road. Brooks has a building supplies depot at the end of Fern Road which routinely has 40-foot trucks entering and leaving it.
The injunction application was brought by Brooks holding company Donaghbrook, formerly Premier Forest ROI Ltd, and Brooks Timber and Building Supplies Ltd. However, he said, when the council provided drawings of what was to be done and when examined by their expert, it was found the new junction would not accommodate the 40-foot lorries, he said.
