That this Committee agrees as per the reply below, the necessary work is carried out at 54A St Mark's Avenue in the immediate."
'Maintenance Section was out and reported that the 100mm block wall which is wet dashed on number 54A’s side is badly cracked diagonally with cracks over 8mm wide. Approximately 3 meters of this wall is affected back from the front driveway gates and public footpath.

Community
Questions
"Could the council please support members of Bawnogue Men's group who wish to organise a tournament based around the card game DON in Corkagh Park during the Summer months? They would like to host members of other Men's Groups in the area. It seems like a very worthwhile initiative, which could use to the parks being used more by older people for games such as cards, chess, Boules, etc. The installation of exercise equipment was an excellent start which could be complemented by the facilitation of games which older people and others might enjoy and a card tournament could be the first part of this."
