The main elements of the proposed Greenway are as follows: • The Greenway route is approximately 14km in length and passes along the Dodder Valley from Orwell / Terenure through the outer suburbs of Tallaght to rural and upland Dublin to the entrance to the Bohernabreena reservoirs at Glenasmole. • It will provide for improved connectivity to communities, facilities and local business along the Dodder Valley corridor with a dedicated signage strategy. • Where commuting currently exists and demand is anticipated to continue, the scheme either ensures it is facilitated in a pedestrian priority environment with additional capacity for safe use at junctions or provide an alternative route for commuting cyclists where required. • The Greenway will generally consist of a shared 3-4m wide bound surface on the off road sections, tying into suitable bound surfacing for the on road sections. It is proposed to utilise enhanced variations to reflect local context. • Works will include widening and upgrade to existing paths, construction of new paths, the construction of a number of new bridges, upgrade of existing bridges and underpasses, junction upgrades, etc. • The upgrade and creation of new entrances to the Greenway. • Improved landscape treatment to provide a coherent and legible Greenway along the proposed Greenway. • Ecological enhancements including species rich grassland management, the planting of native trees and the provision of bat boxes. • Bat friendly public lighting will be provided both in new areas and in upgrading sections of existing lighting. • CCTV will be provided at a number of locations including each of the bridges. • Drainage measures including swales, signage, markings and ancillary works.

- DU022-010 Castle - tower house
Description
The E end of Templeogue House incorporates a late tower house with a vaulted basement. This took place in the 18th century when Sir Compton Domville (d. 1721) took over the property from the Talbot Family and built a red brick mansion on the site (Handcock 1877, 105; Ball 1905, 3, 23-8). The exterior is pebble-dashed making it difficult to identify early architectural features. However a tower survives in the NE angle rising to three storeys. The N wall is inset for a distance (L 15m) W of this tower indicating the probable extent of the main chamber of the tower house. Interior is not accessible at the time of inspection (Healy 1975, 1-19). Archaeological testing in the undercroft of the building in 1996 revealed a primary layer of cobbling and drainage channels associated with imported stoneware and gravel-tempered wares dated to the late sixteenth-early 17th century(Swan 1997, 39-40).

Description
A stone built weir, built to resist floods was erected at the head of the watercourse at Balrothery near the gravel pits. The Dodder River was diverted at this stone weir and an artificial channel was constructed which carried the required water eastward to join the river Poddle. This was removed during road construction (Keeley unpub).
