"That this Committee asks South Dublin County Council to repair and fix the issue in Knockmitten Community Centre changing room that has a leak. The Centre got it checked and we are told it is not the underfloor heating as Council stated previously, the changing rooms cannot be used fully and pose a health and safety issue as many football players rely on this facility so this is an urgent matter."
Transportation
Questions
"I’ve enquired before about speed bumps as cars go much, much too fast on the road. Speed cushions were eventually put in just past Texaco, but vehicles speed up as soon as they have gone over them.
People walk the Main Street at all times of the day and night. Someone walking past could have been killed, or one of us had we happened to be in the driveway.
Any help you could provide with addressing safety on the Main Street would be appreciated
