Allowing for the increased numbers of visitors to Tymon Park on the weekends, could the Manager arrange to have the litter bins in the Park emptied, during the day, on Saturday and Sunday. Visitors are posting photographs of overflowing bins on social media and this does not create a good image for the Council.
"To ask the Chief Executive if he has noted the coverage in the local Echo newspaper of the fact that according to the report there are no litter bins in Citwest;will he confirm that he is taking immediate action in the matter and give assurances given the poor reaction in Citywest to the matter."
"To ask the Chief Executive if he plans to open the recently developed Oldbawn Sports Pavilion , Dodder Valley Park Tallaght; will he confirm how he is promoting the availability of the facility to the public and local clubs; will he confirm actions being taken to prevent trespass and vandalism on the site and make a statement."
"To ask the Chief Executive about the possibility of extending Carrigmore Park, Citywest. As it is, the park is extremely crowded and many people visit the park every day. This problem will continue to worsen over summer as the pack will visit the park. Additionally, with the construction of the new apartments and housing properties nearby, the current size of the park and facilities available will not be able to entertain the increasingly large hordes of people gathering in the Park"
