"This Area Committee acknowledges the ongoing issues on Knockmeenagh Lane with regard to (i) vehicles breaking the speed limit, (ii) vehicles travelling the wrong way down on a one-way road, and (iii) private developers seeking access to use the lane, and how these three issues have led to calls from residents in the area for the lane to be pedestrianised. To this end, this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to begin the process of public consultation under Section 38 of the Road Traffic Act (or other relevant legislation) on the issue of pedestrianisation of Knockmeenagh Lane between Consolidated Pumps/Newlands Grove and St. Brigid's Cottages."

• M 1

"This Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to write to Irish Rail thanking them for the comprehensive presentation given to the LEA in November on the electrification and provision of light rail on the railtrack between Heuston and Hazelhatch."

• M 2

"This Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to inquire with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) as to how seating may be installed at two bus stops in Clondalkin Village which could do with at the very least seats/benches if not a shelter as well. They are bus stops #4664 and #2160 located on Watery Lane at the Clondalkin Town Centre and on Convent Road outside Tesco respectively."

• M 3

"Numbers 1, 2, 3, 8, 13, 15 and 16 Saint Brigid´s Cottages in Clondalkin are vacant and have been for some time. The response to Members Rep 1584683 states that SDCC does not consider these sites a priority for inclusion on the Vacant Sites Register. Thus, to ask the Chief Executive, what recourse there is to having the houses reoccupied or the sites developed?"

• Q 4

"To ask the Chief Executive what measures have been undertaken to ensure the structural protection and integrity of Structure #313 in the RPS ( 313 Rectory/Glebe House, Main Street, Rathcoole House) which happens to be the former Mary Mercer School Orphanage Building? The motivation for the question is that to the passer-by, the structure appears to be in a very poor state of repair?"

• Q 5

"This Area Committee acknowledges the recent flooding in Corkagh Park and in light of the unease with which this has caused for residents of Cherrywood Crescent, calls on the Chief Executive to provide a brief update on the Camac Flood Allieviation Scheme with a focus on the parts of Clondalkin that are in the Camac flood basin."

• M 11

"To ask the Chief Executive to repair a very small job on the Stone Bridge built in 2015 at Corkage Park. Unfortunately a stone capping was knocked off the bridge about four months ago by a JCB or some other heavy machine. I believe this would only encourage anti social behaviour to do more damage to this Bridge. The Bridge is build over the River Camac at the Cherrywood end of the Park?"

"To ask the Chief Executive what measures are being put in place to avoid a repeat of the situation in the summer of 2020 where refuse facilities in parks in the Clondalkin LEA were not sufficient to cope with demand and were frequently overflowing."

• Q 9

"To ask the Chief Executive if the schedules listed on the online cleaning schedule ( http://www.southdublin.ie/schedulerpublicviewer/mapviewer.html ) are changed or adjusted seasonally or are they the same all year round? The question arises due to concern from some citizens that there is insufficient litter picking carried out by South Dublin County Council?"
