MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE - Tuesday, October 24, 2017 - QUESTION 5: Councillor L. O'Toole
"For a long number of years antisocial behaviour and criminal activity has taken place at the divide (embankment) between two estates Moy glas and Castle Riada, Lucan. Recently the area in Moy glas has experienced continuous anti-social behaviour. Residents have reported these incidents to Lucan Garda which is been examined and monitored. Could the Chief Executive report on any findings that have been reported to Council and confirm if Cluid Housing have been made aware of the situation? Following these reports could an on-site meeting be arranged with a view to examining possible solutions to this ongoing problem?"
REPLY:
The area of land in question lies between 2 private estates and as such the Housing Department Estate Management Section have not received complaints in relation to ASB. An approved housing body do have 14 units in Moy Glas Estate to which the Council nominated tenants recently. No issues have been raised in relation to these units.

"This Area Committee calls upon South Dublin County Council to amend the current parking bye laws to allow a person who having paid for a parking ticket and that ticket having expired, to pay the amount due, at the prevailing rate for parking in a designated zone, where that person has returned to their vehicle within 10 minutes of expiry of their ticket."
"To ask the Chief Executive for a report as to why the Christmas lights in Lucan village cannot be connected in to the public lighting system in the Village next year. A large amount of money was spent to install the system, why can it not be connected again to this system."
"That this committee requests that the Chief Executive contact the owners to Liffey Valley Shopping to get them to bring their signs for “Palmerstown” into line with the correct spelling of the name and secondly write to the NRA and ask that they bring their signs on the M50 and N4 into line with the correct spelling of “Palmerstown”. There is much local concern that four years after the plebiscite to restore the correct place name and spelling, publically funded bodies continue to ignore the wishes of the people or indeed display good practice."
"That this Committee requests the Chief Executive to consider placing a traffic warden at the mini roundabout along Esker Drive (opposite Finians estate) (see map).
