"That the Manager include in the works of the Grange Road Permeability project the removal of the railings at the green area at the side of house 1 Grange Downs out to the Barton Road Extn. be replaced with a stone wall as requested by the Grange Downs Residents Association. A stone wall will be built as part of the works of the Grange Road Permeability project at this green area and should include the replacement of the railings with a stone wall."
"That the Manager explain what is involved in changing the by-laws so as to prevent deliveries to the front of Tesco outside of normal delivery times. This complaint comes from a resident living in Fairways and so far I believe that the Management of Tesco is merely providing lip-service to this resident in the hope that they will wear him down. It is time now that this Council take a reactive step and given that there has been no positive shift by Tesco in the delivery routine since this complaint was placed on the agenda for this meeting, it now falls to us as Councillors to amend/vary the by-laws to ensure that rights of residents to a good night sleep is respected, represent the interest of this constituent, and to demand and enforce change."

"This Committee has agreed that the two playgrounds allocated for the Rathfarnham ward area will be Whitechurch estate and Knocklyon Park. When will the local consultation with community and local organisations begin to agree to begin construction of these play areas?"
"That this Committee calls on the Manager following on from my motion asking for all green spaces to be identified as suitable for sporting/recreational spaces, to consider the large green space at Anne Devlin Road (off Ballyroan Road) as a space that could be made better use of. The Manager is to be commended for his playground initiate for the County; I am asking the Manager to consider widening his initiative to including exercise equipment similar to that installed by this Council off Templeville Road, in the green space at/near Cyprus Downs/Glendown. The age demographic in this area are predominantly older/retired people would benefit from such exercise equipment."
"The residents of Whitechurch estate have concerns that the new proposed Playground will attract anti-social behaviour. Could the Manager explain the process of community engagement with this project that will allay concerns to residents?"
"That the Manager give an update on the discussions with the receivers of the lands next to Stocking Well, that is proposed for a public park and when will these lands be handed over to the Council."

"That the Manager explain why it is, despite requests by Residents from Ballyroan Crescent through Fixmystreet and by me through Membersnet, that the litter bins in the Ballyroan area are still not collected. These bins have not been emptied since November and the situation is a health hazard. The bins stretching from Ballyroan Crescent down to the shops at Rosemount are in the direct path of the schools and are essential for the proper upkeep of the area. The fact that these bins are not being emptied puts additional pressure on the voluntary contribution given by the Residents Association, a contribution that is generally well received by this Council and essential if the area is to be maintained to a high level. The area is now at risk of becoming a litter black spot through no fault of resident but through the neglect of this Council. I phoned a senior member of the team last Thursday and was lead to believe that the matter would be sorted but nothing has been done in the intervening time. Why have multiple requests gone without action? Could there be an IR issue that members are not being informed about?"
Water & Drainage
Questions
"To ask the Manager to repair the sewer at the corner of 1 The Green Boden Park. It has flooded on a couple of occasions?"
