"The residents of Daletree Close have a persistent problem of rocks being thrown into their back gardens from the back of the community centre in Daletree Place. I attach a picture of the stones and rocks that are regularly being lobbed over the wall. The issue was investigated by the Council last year with a view to increasing the height of the wall, but it was decided that the wall was not sturdy enough. As this is happening on Council property that the Chief Executive re-investigate the issue with a view to erecting a free-standing fence?"

Motions
"That the Council carry out/oversee an inspection of current utility poles in the area. Many metal poles are rusty (not all are public lighting columns) and advise on a program of painting work to make good these poles. Please note that some of these poles are dated 1912 and many more are more recent but are in need of paintwork."
"That the Chief Executive advise when the potholes on the Cunard Road Upper in Glenasmole will be repaired as it is a danger to all road users – the huge potholes have damaged tyres, pedestrians and cyclists are at risk as cars are required to weave around the potholes."
"€70,000 was budgeted this year for fixes to the Firhouse Road between Ballycullen Road and the Spawell Link Road. If €70,000 is being spent on the upkeep of this road, could parking bays like those on Tolka Valley Road (pictured) be considered. Given the number of children that train on the Ballyboden St. Enda’s pitches in Dodder Valley Park and given the trouble the neighbouring estates have with inconsiderate and illegal parking, could the Chief Executive consider similar parking bays as part of the planned fixes for the Firhouse Road."
Planning
Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive as a number of residents have asked a question in relation to the lands off St. Comcille's way behind Knocklyon Utd. clubhouse. It seems to be the collective wisdom that when planning was granted by An Bord Pleanala for a planning application - possibly Woodstown Village, it was on the basis of the land behind Knocklyon Utd. clubhouse was to be kept as Class A public open space for the area. Could the Council confirm if there was any ABP decision which identified this land as public open space?"

Is it proposed to change this zoning and if this is the intention could the Chief Executive outline the procedures and to give a report on the matter."
