"That the Chief Executive review the car parking facilities at Cherryfield Park, Firhouse Road.
This is a very well used car park at all times throughout the day. At peak times, motorists are forced to park on the grass verges outside the entrance to the park.
If this parking area was made 15 feet wider it would double the car parking capacity. Can this car park be reviewed with a view to finding the necessary funds to extend it."

"We, the Templeogue-Terenure / Rathfarnham Councillors, would like to echo the unanimous request from the traders of Templeogue Village that the Village Initiative Plan for Templeogue Village include the lands known as the “pig farm” and the current public car park. We would like to see the Village Initiative Plan amended, if necessary, so that any Part 8 put out for public discussion includes these lands and reflects these views."
"That the Chief Executive installs street lighting on Cruagh Road, Rockbrook. The road is pitch dark by early evening/night. Locals regularly cycle this road along with hundreds of other casual cyclists and it is extremely dangerous for both pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. There are lots of young children living on the road and most are afraid to even attempt to walk on the road after dusk (even during daylight hours it is dangerous)."
"Following publication of the Templeogue Village Enhancement Program at the January Rathfarnham/Templeogue - Terenure Committee Meeting, this committee calls on the Chief Executive to proceed with the time frame as laid out in the plan and that issues that may arise (that are related but not currently included in the program of works) be addressed within that timeframe or separately so as not to delay the program timelines."
"To ask the Chief Executive to please provide a traffic plan for the area for the day of the Gaelforce Dublin event on February 18th. Can the plan include details of road closures, access routes and duration so that residents can be duly informed?"
"That this committee, being anxious to encourage traditional farming while also facilitating cyclists and others who wish to exercise in the wonderful and publically owned amenity of the Glenasmole/Bohernabreena Uplands , calls on the Chief Executive responsible to present a full report to the March Council Meeting on the most suitable type of Cattle Grids, the safety implications ensuing and how these can be addressed, and, the costs and time scale associated with installing them; and that the locations and installation be done in consultation with representatives of the local community."
"To ask the Chief Executive if he will install additional street lighting on the walkway between Glendown and Wellington Road. This walkway is used extensively by locals as a short cut from the nearby bus stop and as a pleasant area to walk their dogs etc. At the moment there is one street light at the Glendown end and one on the Wellington end. It would also help if these could be adjusted to shine into the walkway area if possible."
