"This committee commends the tree pruning programme and the progress made in various parts of Clondalkin to date.  However, it recognises the concerns of some residents who decry the felling of some beautiful, mature trees.  Could a report be presented on the council's approach to tree maintenance, emphasising it's mainly conservative ethos which generally dictates that trees are not removed without very good reason and that trees once removed are generally replaced with a tree that is suited to the location."

TV stations available on the thread mills, cross trainers, music was piped through a system, there was always staff available in the gym area if you needed help, the gym area was kept clean, antibacterial hand gel was replenished, there was rarely any problems with water pressure and temperature. At the moment the radio is often not switched on, last week I have a suppressed immune system and last week I had to ask twice for antibacterial hand gel and there is rarely any staff around.

Can I ask how much has SDCC taken in from Clondalkin Leisure Centre in 2016 & 2017 please."

"This committee supports the Clondalkin Men's Shed in its search for a premises.  It acknowledges the excellent work done by the group for the community and the extent to which participation in Men's Shed groups is good for the community and for the Men's Shed members themselves. 

This committee asks for an update on the status of the Apartment which was set aside for community use at Orchard Lodge, Orchard Road.  

This committee has also supported the idea of the Men's Shed using this space as long as other groups are accommodated.

Also, what is the update on the porta cabin at Mayfield. 

Lastly could the community department investigate the possibility of the Men's Shed being accommodated in the Old Technical School on Monastery Road.  It currently houses Youth Reach but I feel that it is under utilised.   

I feel that the Men's Shed would be a good match for Youth Reach in any case."
