Correspondence
Motions
"To ask the Chief Executive to commence a feasibility study, in consultation with residents of surrounding Estates, for reducing the number of access points in the small upper section of Sean Walsh park from Firhouse Rd West to Carraigmore View, in the interests of public safety and to consider the return of the previous system of closing the Park to pedestrians, after dark. School access could still be through a gate, that could be opened and closed to facilitate parents and children accessing the school and closed after school hours."
"That this Area Committee calls on Management to initiate a Public Consultation to ascertain what support exists for a Dog Run in Aylesbury/ Kiltipper/ Cushlawn/ Marlfield section of Sean Walsh Park. This would be similar to the popular facility currently provided in Tymon Park. This is a popular section of park providing a key piece of infrastructure for the named estates. I have provided an image of one potential location for such a facility."

Transportation
Questions
"In a recent reply to a customer from SDCC Customer Contact System, it indicated that a roadway would be built, to facilitate Bus Connects, through the small open space at Birchview Avenue and behind the bungalows at Parkview, Kilnamanagh and that this "proposed" road is contained in the County Development Plan for the past twenty five years. Would the Chief executive indicate if this "proposed" road is a "standalone road" for Bus Connects or is it part of the realignment of the Greenhills Road, and does it take into account that there are now bungalows built along this open green space, pedestrian pathways recently installed and that the Kilnamanagh Family Recreation Centre also located in this area where the "proposed" road is supposed to be built and would he also indicate what discussions have taken place between SDCC and the NTA, regarding the current Bus Connects proposals?"
