That the Manager present a report on the condition of the entrance to Clondalkin Sports and Leisure Centre.  Could the following issues be addressed please.  The entrance itself is too narrow to allow access for buses bringing groups to swimming etc.  There are briars and overgrown bushes acting as traps for litter.  The area around the bottle banks is always untidy.  The derelict small brick building on the right as you come in reduces visibility for drivers  and causes a real hazard.  The whole area presents as unkempt and not fitted to the flagship Leisure Centre that we have in Clondalkin.  What can be done?
