Scafall nó Mórchlár Fógraíochta a Thógáil

Step 1: Contact Dublin City Council Roadworks Control Unit

We will arrange for a Roadworks Control Inspector to meet you at the place where you want to set up the hoarding or scaffolding. The Inspector will examine the location and decide whether or not to grant permission.

Step 2: Return a scaffold/hoarding application form to us

If permission is granted, the Inspector will give you an application form which should be completed and returned to Dublin City Council.

Note: You must submit this form every time you want to erect a scaffold or hoarding (there are no automatic renewals).

Enclose the appropriate fee by cheque or money order, made payable to ‘Dublin City Council’. You can also pay using credit card or debit card.

Do not send cash in the post. If you wish to pay in cash, please visit our public customer care office.

For hoarding or scaffolding erected on a footpath only (to a maximum width of 30 metres) the charge is €207 per month.

Further charges may apply if:

• The scaffolding or hoarding interferes with a public road
