That the Manager present a report on the possibility of organising for the green way canal path to be made accessible for wheel chair users and tandems on one day during National Accessibility week in December.  This would entail having the gates opened along the way for a specified period.  Could this be done on a limited but regular basis in order to allow wheelchair users and others with mobility issues the opportunity to enjoy the fantastic facility that the green route provides

Tá muintir Chluain Dolcáin ag lorg stádéis gaeltachta  don sráidbhaile.  An féidir leis an Chomhairle Contae cabhrú leo le fógraí i nGaeilge a chur suas ar fud an shráidbhaile.  D'fhéadfadh leo tosú le fógra nua An Ceathrú Ghaeilge a chur suas ar an balla in aice leis an gcloigtheach, mar tá an cloigtheach i gcroílár an sráidbhaile. 

An féidir tacaíocht a thabhairt do gnónna agus do siopaí a theastaíonn uathú a fógra a athrú go gaeilge?

The community in Clondalkin is seeking Gaeltacht status for the village.  Can the manager present a report on what the council can do to assist them.  One request is that Irish Language signage could be put up in the village area, starting with a sign on the wall at the round tower An Ceathrú Ghaeilge as this area around the tower is the cultural centre of the village.

Also could some support and financial incentive be given to businesses and shops who wish to replace their signs with traditional shop signs in the Irish language,.
