That the manager organises a team to attend at the lake at Rathfarnham Castle Park and clear the debris which has accumulated there, due to the accumulation of dead wood and other rubbish.
In light of recent dog attacks on sheep on farmland adjacent to Kiltipper Park, that this Area Committee calls for immediate action to tackle this issue, including reinforcing boundaries and repairing fences and communicating the importance of dogs being on leashes through signage and social media.
To ask the manager to please inspect and carry out appropriate works in relation to the trees in Boden Park as soon as possible, as the roots have caused the footpaths and roadway to lift and break in some areas, and some of the trees are of such a height, that the residents are concerned that if they come down that they will cause severe damage, as has happened previously.

Proposed Declaration of Roads to be Public Roads - NO BUSINESS
Motions
That this committee asks for work to be carried out on the Greenhills Road entrance to the Lidl site to make this a safer entrance/exit for all road users. The road markings are very faint or have completely faded away. The road is very narrow and the cycle track is not segregated nor even provided with a distinctive colour to the rest of the road. There is a lot of traffic turning into the Lidl area to access the grocery shop and other businesses and therefore an urgent assessment is required and work carried out at the earliest opportunity.
That the Chief Executive examines the possibility of installing a Zebra Crossing at the T-Junction of Rossmore Road and Wellington Lane. It is a busy junction and can be lethal trying to cross as motorists and cyclists come from every angle. While effort has been made for improved cyclist safety surely there is also need for increased Pedestrian safety.
That the Manager installs bollards at the junction of Scholarstown Road with the Knocklyon Road, opposite the entrance to Knocklyon Shopping Centre as a safety measure for young children using the Shared Surface footpath.
That this Council installs rubber wheel stops at nose-in parking spaces in Rathfarnham Village and throughout this local area, to prevent vehicles overhanging the footpath and to protect the use of the footpath for pedestrians, particularly those with additional mobility needs.
That this area committee requests that the car parking spaces in Village Court Rathfarnham are re-marked.
