That the Chief Executive reports on the use of the car park at Tallaght Stadium. Could this be opened up to use by shoppers in the area as a pay and display. Currently parking in the area is at a premium with the Arena complex. Clamping is in operation in the Arena complex when you leave the complex the security in the Arena call the clampers and get the car clamped.  Not only are they preying on vulnerable families causing distress and a large fine to remove the clamp, also the car park could be used for walkers and families that use Sean Walsh Park.

That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to arrange to have the road adjacent to the Square Luas stop and the junction on to Belgard Square West inspected. The white lines on this road have become badly faded and this is causing a danger to drivers as a result. I have raised this several times and was previously informed in a question that this would be done by October.
