"That this committee write to the Greater Dublin Transport Authority inviting them to meet to discuss ongoing transport needs of the Ballycullen/Firhouse/Ballyboden communities given the projected increase of road users and existing traffic problems, which are exacerbated by a dearth of public transport solutions."

"Last weekend the Developer of the Ladywell Development at Corrybeg, Templeogue removed 30-year-old trees without permission. Could something be done about this? Corrybeg is not the first place for this to happen. Developers are ripping out mature trees knowing that there is no penalty from the Council. The Council’s approach in dealing with this should be reviewed. Until the Council gets serious about it, it will still be seen, by Developers, as the easy way to deal with “problem trees”."
"That the Heritage Officer inspect the ruins of the Sarah Curran House in Hermitage Estate and query whether there are sufficient funds to install a plaque outlining the ruins history."

"That between the Council and Tallaght Garda station, steps are taken for the installation of CCTV cameras at the seating area in the green space at the back of Our Lady of Mount Carmel church in Firhouse. This area, which is a peaceful and tranquil place for residents to enjoy during the day is causing much disturbance at night. Residents of the apartments and also the parish office have reported serious incidents at this location. While the Community Garda for the area has been excellent in attempting to deal with the on-going problem, I feel that CCTV for this area is required."
"That there is an urgent requirement in the Knocklyon Firhouse and Ballycullen areas for a playground to be built outside of the play space programme which is currently underway by SDCC. The people of Knocklyon, Firhouse and Ballycullen are forced to go to the playgrounds in Marley or Tymon parks. Given the population that we are talking about, this area merits a playground of its own. This Area Committee calls on the Council to commence the planning process for such a playground with a view to having proposals ready for Budget 2017."
"That the Ballycragh Park Playground, in its current form, is not suitable and is not being used by the age of children for which it was designed. I refer to my Area Committee Meeting Motion, from the 13th of September last, on the same subject when it was reported that the topic requires some ‘consideration and discussion’. Can the members be given an update as to where this process is? Can a plan be developed showing how this playground can be changed so that it is more age appropriate."
Environment
Questions
"To ask the Chief Exeecutive as a lot of dog waste is visible in the green area at Carriglea/Firhouse including on grass & walkways. There is currently only one bin available and it is located, not at the green area, but at the bus stop near it. Can we please organise dog poo bins and signage with fine information in the area as soon as possible?"
"To ask the Chief Executive, following on from my recent Area Committee question and further representation from users, to provide a report on the dog run in Tymon Park; to ask if he can arrange for better drainage of the site, given its state as of the end of January (despite a drier month than usual); if he will consider the installation of benches at the site; when the expected new signage should be delivered; and to make a statement on the matter?"

"That the Chief Executive gives a report on Knocklyon United's pitch allocation in light of the Ballycullen Flood Alleviation Scheme. Assurances were given at previous meetings that they would not lose any pitches as a result of the works, however this does not seem to be the case."
