Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive that a resident of Brookvale Downs witnessed SDCC trees being cut down to the west of Brookvale Downs. She very courageously followed the perpetrator, while liaising with the Garda at the same time. A SDCC official visited the site in question to record the damage. What type of action can be taken by SDCC when this practice happens to compensate those who loose their amenity?"
"To ask the Chief Executive that a members query has been lodged looking for the installation of a public pathway on grassy area between Wood Dale Green & Wood Dale View. Can an answer be provided?"
"To ask the Chief Executive whether a gate can be installed on the entry way between Glenmore Court and Whitechurch Walk. It is the only entry without gates and can be a hotspot for illegal dumping and anti social behaviour?"
"To ask the Chief Executive for a timeline for the refurbishment of the area at the roundabout at Ballyboden next to St Augustine's/Augustinians which is in the Council's ownership and for which a budget amount was set aside?"
"To ask the Chief Executive how many trees are intended to be planted by the Council in the area under the remit of this Committee during 2015, and to make a statement on tree planting in this area in general?"
"To ask the Chief Executive when the gate and fence on the dog run in Tymon Park will be repaired and to make a statement on the operation of this facility and recent incidents in general."
"To ask the Chief Executive how many tree pruning and tree removal requests have SDCC received from the RTT area within the past six months?"

Motions
"That the Chief Executive install fencing around the border of the pitches area at Whitechurch. Quads and motorbikes are destroying this valuable community asset. An Garda have stated previously during the JPC that they are impossible to police, as giving chase endangers the driver of the quad or motorbike, plus all nearby traffic. Children play in this area too - we need to cut off vehicular access to the pitches and green area."
"That the Chief Executive arranges for stone signs to be put in place at both ends of the Marian Road, Rathfarnham, as previously requested by the Butterfield and District Residents Association."

Planning
Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive that Members had previously asked that this council liaise with Dun Laoghaire -Rathdown regarding the Marlay Park concerts. Specifically, we asked that DLR provide a financial kickback to the residents on this side of the county divide, as residents of DLR enjoy some benefits from the income the concerts provide, whereas residents on this side do not.
Please outline to this council what the outcome of this was?"
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the provision of accommodation for Firhouse ETNS and Gaelscoil na Giúise, and to make a statement on the matter?"

Motions
"That the Chief Executive liaise with Dublin Bus to ensure that there is enough public transport available to take concert goers both into town and over to Dundrum. Part of the problem that residents, including myself, encounter is the crowds wandering around trying to exit the area. Dublin Bus do provide extra no.16s but the lack of transport is a problem every year."
"That this committee recommends that the house known as St. Roch's on Taylor's Lane, Rathfarnham, be entered on the list of preserved/conservation structures of the county."
"That the Chief Executive clarifies the situation regarding access to the proposed development at rear of Pearse Brothers Park - planning ref: SD14A/0280.
Residents have received conflicting information regarding the safety of the existing Taylor's Lane/Whitechurch Road junction and the right traffic turning movements into Pearse Bros Park.
Given that there are bus lanes and cycle lanes in place, traffic from Ballyboden has to enter the bus lane to avoid right turning traffic.
They would welcome clarification on this issue."
Transportation
Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive that the road to Templeogue FC is in need of immediate repair. It has deteriorated so badly it has become dangerous.
As this section of road is in the ownership of the Parks dept. can something be done urgently?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to remove the large unsightly sign at the junction of Ballyroan Road and Ballyboden Road advertising the Ballyboden Bus Corridor which was completed ten years ago?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to have signs erected at both ends of Ballyroan (similar to the 'Ballyboden' directional signs, indicating 'Ballyroan'?"
"To ask the Chief Executive when repairs will be carried out to all traffic calming ramps in Manor Estate, Dublin 12, as reported several times to the Council, and to make a statement on the matter?"

"That the Chief Executive reinstates the double yellow lines on Beechdale Road near the entrance to Lidl in Ballycullen. At the point where the new SLOW sign has been put in place, and where the double yellow lines have been removed, cars are parking there, forcing cars turning off the Old Court Road onto the far side of the road, right into the path of traffic exiting the Lidl store. Residents are very concerned that the situation is an accident waiting to happen."
"That this Committee be presented with the full range of options considered in the Walkinstown Roundabout Study, and that this Committee refuses to support or endorse any changes at this junction in the absence of a full briefing with all Councillors representing the area in SDCC and Dublin City Council, and in the absence of consultation with local stakeholders."
