That this Area Committee requests that South Dublin County Council write to the NRA and to Google asking that all PALMERSTOWN signage and references be corrected. Both bodies insist on indicating there is such a destination in Dublin 20 (or Dublin 22) as Palmerston. 

It is five years since the people of Palmerstown Village voted in Plebiscite to have the correct name used in all official signs, maps and documentation. 

Can you please forward a copy of the relevant documentation to both bodies and have them immediately amend their records and all public signage? The last time I enquired the NRA stated that they would do so in 2019. Can they now supply a firm date?

"To ask the Chief Executive to note that the area on Balgaddy Road where the Rosse Court development ends before Divine Mercy is an absolute disgrace. There was a gated entrance to Rosse Court that was blocked up years ago and hedging was planted in front of it. This has been used as a dumping ground ever since. Large amounts of rubbish were set on fire there about a month ago. Now the hedging and the rubbish have spilled out all over the footpath creating a hazard for the children & parents attending the school. I am particularly concerned about a child in a motorised wheelchair who has to negotiate this every day & is forced out onto the grass & muck because of the mess. Can the council do something about this please?"
