Motions
That the Manager reports on the roll out of the 5G programme in the RTFB area and the planning process involved for the intallation of phone masts.
To ask the Chief Executive to immediately retract the derogation allowed to the developers of the lands formerly known as the Cosgrave site on Scholarstown Road to extend their working hours and not to accede to any further requests in this regard, as the working hours provided for within the original planning permission have already caused and are continuing to cause, undue suffering to nearby residents in terms of noise and fumes, and extending them is unduly oppressive and has caused further unnecessary hardship for the residents. The development will be built soon enough.
Transportation
Questions
Would the manager please consider widening the footpath at Whitehall Road between the Pines pub and the commercial units to facilitate pedestrian access, particularly for those with buggies or for those who may have mobility issues.
To ask the Manager to install pedestrians safety barriers at rear entrance of Firhouse Community College on opposite side of road of gates as many students cross the road at that point.
Could the Chief Executive please supply an update on the rollout of LED upgrade of public lighting in the Firhouse Bohernabreena LEA and could the Chief Executive also advise this Committee on the progress if any regarding the areas with older electrical infrastructure?
To ask for an update on cycle lane repairs and drainage works on Ballyroan Road Rathfarnham?
To ask the Manager to address, as a matter of urgency, the provision of footpaths in the Glenasmole/Bohernabreena area, with particular reference to the approach to the school.

Motions
That this ACM requests that the streetlighting in Manor Estate, in particular around Mountdown, that have had LED bulb replacements be assessed to ascertain whether the lighting is fit for purpose. Residents complain that since the changeover, the lighting is worse and the area no longer feels safe to walk through after dark. I would ask that the lighting be assessed including looking atthe the length of the poles to assess if they are adequate for the new bulbs and not too tall and for action to be taken to ensure better lighting for this community.
That the Manager engages with the relevant authority to erect a suitable barrier on the southside bridge of the M50 Juntion 12. There have been numerous suicide attempts here, as well as young children playing chicken and walking across it.
That this committee call on the manager to install two bollards at the mid-point of the laneway to the rear of 96 St Peters road. This is to prevent cars driving through at speed and fly tipping.

Motions
To ask the Manager to carry out works immediately to safely remove Japanese knotweed at or near the "Capri" site on Whitechurch Road in Rathfarnham. I attach photos which show how the knotweed has spread in recent years and the residents are greatly concerned at the potential threat to adjoining properties.
That the Chief Executive includes the 8 acres green space in Perrystown Dublin 12 to the grass cutting maintenance schedule.
In light of the increasing litter problem in our parks, that this Area Committee requests that the installation of bins in Dodder Valley Park be expedited and a timeframe given.
That this area committee requests the manager to consider measures to restrict access to the Boden Park estate through an archway entrance at the junction of Edmonstown Road and Scholarstown Road - to minimise anti social behaviour.
To ask the Council to liaise with the ESB with a view to carrying out effective pruning of trees near overhead lines without pruning in a "V" shape as this has caused significant damage to certain types of trees.
This Committee requests the installation of a wall between Grangebrook Vale and the Glinbury estate to provide privacy and protect against dumping and ASB while the trees planted to replace those felled mature.
That the Manager ensures no public green space is given over to provide parking for large developers in the RTFB area.
To ask the manager to organise a thorough and badly needed clearing and tidy up of the cemetery at Bohernabreena, in particular the area known as the “lawn cemetery”.

Motions
That this ACM requests an investigation into the drain issue in the laneway of Hillsbrook Grove, Perrystown, Dublin 12. Irish Water have refused to look into this any further and residents advised that the laneway collapsed a number of years ago and feel that this is the cause of the current issues. A number of residents that the drain serves are older people who are not in a financial position to afford the repairs. Others are out of work. Given the history of this particular laneway, we request that a full investigation be done and that the residents be assisted as this has become a public health issue at this stage.
