"This Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to install traffic calming measures such as a high reinstated roundabout or an island on Kiltalown Road, at the cross road between Kiltalown Road/Kiltalown Cresent/Kiltalown Path as a matter of urgency as this is a hotspot for stolen cars."

Planning
Questions
"CSO 2019 figures state that there are 57.630 HAP households across the state. With Tallaght Central being in the top five Electoral Areas having the highest percentage of HAP properties. The National Planning Framework requires local authorities to deliver 50% of all new homes in infills and brown field sites & with the current statistics in mind, I am asking the Chief Executive has a detailed study been carried out on how many of these future developments within the Tallaght Area are predicted to be build to rent? How will this impact on existing communities, Transport, Economic Development, infrastructure & Transport? How this will impact on the Council's vision to create sustainable communities?"
