"It was agreed that the tarmac path that runs from Firhouse Carmel FC changing rooms to the football pitches was to be kept clear for the duration of the new schools building works on Firhouse Green.  I have received reports that, because of the works, the path has become unusable and the children of Firhouse Carmel FC are being forced to use the footpath on Killininny Road to access the pitches for training.  It seems that the building contractor has reneged on the agreement.  That the Chief Executive have this path reinstated with immediate effect."

"That any Dodder Greenway development be cogniscant that, in the interest of safety, pedestrians and dogs be separated from cyclists in Cherryfield Park and that this could perhaps be taken into consideration at the detailed design stage, could it be set up that the cycle path is fenced off from the main park?

Also, feeding in to the plan, a bye-law could be set up so that dogs can be walked ‘off leash’ in Cherryfield Park at a reasonable set time or for the entire day, whatever is deemed appropriate.

I have also passed the above suggestions to the Chair of the Dodder Greenway Steering Group."
