"That the Chief Executive provides members with the full grass cutting schedule for the RTT Area as and when it becomes available."
"That the Chief Executive obtains a commitment from Parks Dept to plant trees in Prospect Manor estate. In 2012 / 2013 they came to an arrangement with Parks to pay for 12 trees each year which they ordered and the parks would plant. They met a SDCC Manager in February 2014 who advised them that they would be organised in 2015. Since then they have dealt with several other SDCC officials, but they still have no trees."
"That the Chief Executive provides a detailed update in relation to the Playspace programme, with as yet no playspace delivered in the Rathfarnham ward. It is over a year ago since I fed back to the Chief Executive that during the course of canvassing in the local elections in May 2014, a number of residents in Glendoher expressed an interest in their green area having a playspace. I understand that residents have still not been called to a public meeting to discuss. Please can you update with regard to both matters.
Furthermore, at the most recent Boden Park Residents Association AGM, residents at that meeting asked that I take back to the Chief Executive that they too would like to open discussions on a playspace in their estate. (Come back to me for specific contact details)."
"That the Chief Executive report that as we approach the final stages of the 2015 tree removal / pruning programme it would appear that some of the more difficult tasks may have been left to the end of the year. Can details be given on how this council co-ordinates with the ESB when their involvement is required for the pruning or removal of a tree? Could specific reference be made to the two cases below where there is a requirement for the ESB's involvement before tree removals take place? **Details provided."
"That the Chief Executive arrange for the wall in Whitehall Park be rendered following resident requests to finish off what they consider to be outstanding works."

"That the Chief Executive comment on the poor state of Rathfarnham village, especially around the car park at the junction of Grange Road and Nutgrove Avenue, I believe a small investment in the form of man hours could radically change the immediate look and feel of the area. The bicycle canopy is discoloured and destroyed by solvents used to remove graffiti and ought to be removed, the most offensive shade of green was painted on to the bollards last year and offers little appeal. The weeds are overgrown. Up until now this area was kept by the Tidy Towns & Traders committees but not so any longer.
Is it possible to have the Rehab recycling moved to a more discreet location, even within this site? If not there, can the Rehab recycling be located in a less prominent place? The area is constantly littered despite the threat posed by CCTV.
Of all of the villages in the County, Rathfarnham despite having the most fanatical backdrop in the form of the Castle and hosting iconic buildings such as the St. Mary’s Parish Church & The Yellow House, the area is let down by the poor condition of the car parking area. I believe that the village programme ought to incorporate this area, the area would benefit from having the car park resurfaced, raised flower bed put in position between the path and the car park, our village deserves better."
"That the Chief Executive increase the frequency of Winter Graveyard Maintenance in particular for the Graveyards in Templeogue and in Whitechurch".
