Motions
"That the Chief Executive write to Dublin Bus to insist they apply to the NRA to extend the bus routes as far as the Old Court Road from Ballycullen. Despite thousands of new houses planned for the area, Dublin Bus have failed to apply for the extension of the existing bus routes in the Ballycullen area or funding to implement same leaving residents without an adequate bus service in the area."
"That, in the wake of the NTA / Bus Connects announcement on a proposed bus network review, this Committee calls on the NTA and other associated bodies to meet with this Committee as soon as possible in order for us to best represent our constituents."
"That the Chief Executive write to the OPW seeking permission for a survey to be carried out on Rathfarnham Garda Station so that we can see what works are necessary and possible to maximise the potential of this protected structure which is such a valuable resource in our community.

"As a step towards improving facilities in Dodder Valley Park, could public litter bins be considered at all the car parks and pedestrian entrances to the park"
"Following the trial of Dog Poo Bag Dispensers in Rathfarnham Castle , these might also be rolled out to Dodder Valley Park.
More urgently and importantly can the Council put in Standard Litter Bins at all the Car Parks and Pedestrian entrances to Dodder Valley Park as another step towards improving the Park."
"That the Chief Executive gives an update on the works to be carried out on the toilets in Tymon Park which have been out of commission for several weeks now."
"To ask the Chief Executive to list the large, voluminous tree outside 5 and 7 Allenton Crescent for pruning or removal. Neighbours all along this side of the street have complained about it for years."
"The stone at the entrance to Whitechurch Estate gives the placename for the Estate in English and also as Gaeilge. According to the South Dublin County Council Placenames and Streetnames Document the correct placename for Whitechurch Estate as Gaeilge should be Eastát an Teampaill Ghil - the stone at the entrance to the Estate has the translation as Eastát an tSeipeal Bhán.
Would the Council please consider amending the engraving on the stonework to reflect the correct translation."
"That this Committee calls on our Public Realm team to maximise resources to ensure Rathfarnham Village and the approach to both it and Rathfarnham Castle are looking at their best in preparation for June 25th International Food Festival and Launch of Rathfarnham Festival."

"That the Chief Executive make a statement in relation to the latest An Bord Pleanla decision on short term lettings and how it affects the problem of multiple residency units being developed within housing estates within the Rathfarnham/Templeogue/Terenure area."
"That a report be provided with regard to the status of Willbrook Park laneway, residents believe that their request for the walkway/laneway in Council ownership to be subdivided and taken into their back gardens has been ignored and 'parked' by the Chief Executive. The report ought to include a full summary of planning enforcement complaints, the number of complaints received, action taken and result achieved pertaining to a house that abuts this laneway area with residents believing that the matter was not thoroughly investigated and that their observations and those of elected public representatives were ignored and that the planning investigation fell short of proper governance and due process. Please also comment on the ascertain by some residents that another resident has annexed a portion of this laneway without any license/permission from South Dublin County Council and the Chief Executive has failed to take the appropriate actions to protect Council assets. The remaining portion of laneway is not even being maintained by Public Realm with any regularity, on any works schedule. Can the Chief Executive make a statement on the current position, explain the decisions that were taken heretofore and what plans he has for the area going into the future"
