Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on the trees that are adjacent to and overhang 2A Dodder Park Road, Rathfarnham? During recent storms a large branch fell from one of these trees and damaged the guttering of no. 2A. The resident, who has serious safety concerns, has been informed that the trees were inspected but, despite repeated requests, has never been provided with results of the inspection. Could these results be supplied?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for the repair of existing paths, the finishing of the installation of new paths, and an overall cleanup of Greenhills Park, given the amount of litter and debris lying on the ground, and to make a statement on the matter?"
"I have received representation from Rathfarnham Athletics Club in relation to additional fixed lighting and storage space in the grounds of Rathfarnham Castle. They have been using these grounds since the 1980’s . They approached the council in 2012, with a request for additional fixed lighting and storage space. In order to give them more lighting to train the athletes in a safe and enjoyable manner, our juvenile coaches have to carry over rechargeable tripod lights, as well as cones, hurdles, flags etc., from the clubhouse in the village. Our juvenile membership now stands at almost 300 members.
They have had numerous contacts with the council over the last few years but feel they have hit a stalemate with regard to their discussions.
To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update with where the lighting and storage solution is currently at and what kind of timeframe it will take for the above to be undertaken?"
To ask the Chief Executive to provide a list of projects under the proposed Public Realm Improvement Works Scheme for the Rathfarnham, Templeogue and Terenure area for 2019?
"To as the Chief Executive to please provide this area committee with a list of Christmas tree recycling stations across the County?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to have the edges on the Firhouse road along the main road at the Monalea wood/Woodlawn park section cut back as they are hanging out through the railings and blocking a section of the footpath causing an obstruction?"

Motions

"That this Area Committee notes that over the past number of years there has been a rise in Christmas tree collections in aid of charities, clubs and good causes. I am requesting that SDCC put in place appropriate procedures to deal with the levels of trees arriving at the SDCC tree recycling plants and can they outline what these procedures are."
"That this Area Committee requests that the recently redeveloped plaza at the castellated entrance to the old Graveyard on Rathfarnham Road is maintained regularly. Residents are disappointed to see weeds taking over the raised beds. It would be a poor waste of resources if this area is not maintained to a high standard."
"To ask the Chief Executive to start the process of taking the walkway along the Owendoher on Edmonstown Road into the charge of SDCC. This little strip of greenery and forest is beautiful, but in a bad state of disrepair. As a piece of public land in this county, there is an onus on us to keep it in good condition for public benefit."

Public Consultation - Traffic Calming 2019/2020
Motions
Cathaoirleachs Business
"That this Area Committee notes the works at Scholarstown Road and at the Orlagh roundabout have become farcical at this point in time. The works are creating significant traffic issues even at off peak times. I am requesting that this area committee is provided with the drone footage which was taken by the Council, that SDCC urgently reassess the situation and a full report be given to this area committee."
"That this Area Committee calls on the manager to install as a matter of urgency a wheel chair ramp at the entrance from the walkway beside St Michaels house in Templeogue."
"Earlier this year I carried out a traffic survey that I forwarded to the Roads section of SDCC. In this survey, the Orlagh roundabout area of Scholarstown Road was identified as one of the more serious traffic bottlenecks in the Ballycullen/Knocklyon area. This area was already suffering from traffic congestion and the new road layout has plainly exacerbated this. The reason given for the narrowing of the road was to improve safety, but it has, in fact, done the opposite.
As far as this Area Committee is concerned, traffic congestion in this area is the primary issue for residents. It impacts on quality of life and adds to daily stress.
When I raised this before I was assured that traffic flow would improve once the roadworks was completed.
This is an area where the population is expanding, potential development on the adjacent lands at the former home of Liam Cosgrave would be disastrous for the area if this roundabout stays as it is. Surely a design that accommodates the flow of traffic but does not compromise safety is achievable.
The redesign of Scholarstown Road and the Orlagh roundabout has clearly not worked. This requires immediate action."
"That this Area Committee supports the residents of Butterfield district residents association and the traders of Rosemount shopping centre in their calls for a plan to be implemented to resolve ongoing parking issues at the centre and calls that provision be made in the budget for a low cost traffic solution in order to alleviate issues that are affecting trade and shoppers in the area."
