Performance & Change Management
Questions
"To ask the Chief Executive why, given the final paragraph (see below) in the Tree Review report from a site survey on the 25th September 2018 that informed the Master Plan for Rathcoole, the decision was to proceed and plan for the destruction of these trees. The ecological aspect of the natural regeneration that has occurred on the land in the years since farming discontinued may be of educational interest to local schools and colleges if they were alerted to the potential of the site, and could be a source of subject material for research projects etc.?"
"To ask the Chief Executive for a full ecological and habitat study to be carried out before any plans are finalised for the Woodlands in Rathcool?"

"That this Area Committee calls on Management to reconsider the naming of the new public housing project on the Old Nangor Road opposite Colaiste Chilliain, Richmond Way. I have previously suggested via Members Reps. ID: 1575468 that the Estate should be named after Raheen House and Lodge that stood on the same site upon till recently. Despite the reservations Management have expressed regarding Raheen given that there are other incidences of Raheen, the name Richmond also occurs in other location e.g. former Richmond Hospital, Richmond Tower in Kilmainham, Richmond Park and South Richmond Street in Dublin. If Raheen is not acceptable, I would suggest a name related to the natural environment e.g. the Camac or heritage e.g. St Chrónáin. Clondalkin Historical Society would have some useful suggestions."
"That this Area Committee request that the Chief Executive issues a detailed report for discussion into Kilmahuddrick Church to include what the council can do to ensure its preserved and that the council actively pursue grants to make the ruin more presentable and useable as a tourist and local amenity. That its added to a regular clean up and maintenance schedule, also to ask that a sign is erected to explain the significance of the building. This is an important building in Clondalkin Heritage and this Committee requests it be preserved for future generations. We also request this it be put on the Agenda for the High level Task Force meetings."

"Knockmeenagh Lane in Clondalkin runs from Monastery Road beside the IBIS roundabout to St Brigid´s Cottages along the south side of the SIAC quarry. The lane has existed for hundreds of years and is shown on maps from the 18th century. Vehicles drove on the lane up until the 1960's and it currently has the potential to be a Greenway given it is away from a main road, and has nice views of both the mountains and into the quarry itself. This Committee calls upon Management to take whatever measures and consultations are necessary to take the lane in charge as suggested in the response to Members Reps. ID: 1560807."

It would be advisable to look at access across the Bawnogue area as it’s an older area.''
