Questions
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the remediation works in Ballyowen Park to prevent flooding in parts of the park and improve drainage, which were called for at the February ACM (Motion 5, Item 69350).
Recently some pruning / clean up works were undertaken at the junction of Adamstown Avenue and Station Road next to the pylon - To now ask the manager what further enhancement work, if any, is planned at this location, and can this include suitable hedging, plants and wildflower on this main approach road into Adamstown and en route to both schools and the train station.
To ask the chief executive to consider installation of dog waste litter bins. Its been acknowledged many times that our litter bins take all rubbish including dog litter. The policy in our council is NOT introduce dog litter bins. A lot of the discussions around provision of bins/dog litter bins is based on those that DONT make the effort to dispose of their litter in a civic minded manner and not enough emphasis on introducing dog litter bins to make it easier for the REST of the members of the public, this is unfortunate as those that act within the byelaws, go beyond their responsibilities at times. should be main focus on debates around our continuous requests to bring in dog litter bins. its been said by so many people in particular via social media forums that they go outside their county only to see dog litter bins in place everywhere. Therefore is it unreasonable to ask that the Chief Executive gives serious consideration to bringing in these dog litter bins which would be welcomed by those that would gladly use them.
To ask the Chief Executive if maps /locations of proposed removal of trees in an estate /area could be included in future reports. This would allow adequate prior notices to be given to residents when it's planned to removed trees.
To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the trees that have been ear marked for pruning in Beech Park, Beech Park and Esker Lawns, including the ones at the open space of Beech Park

Deputations for Noting
Motions
In recognising the invaluable and essential pre-school and afterschool service provided by Naoínra Mháirín, whilst building and promoting the Irish language for the past 10, this Committee agrees to assert its commitment to working with the Naíonra and the new management to secure its tenancy in the Lucan Leisure Centre or failing this, within a suitably located premises in proximity to the two existing Gaelscoileanna.
Motion Ice Rink Community This committee requests that the Chief Executive considers the following proposal made by residents of lucan to bring an ice rink to the area. This would be an asset to the county, all the information below provides additional reasons for this proposal. I'm new to the Adamstown area and have purchased my first home here. I wanted to reach out to you about one topic that is close to my heart and that's ice skating, or specifically an Ice Rink. I notice there are no permanent ice rinks at all in the Republic of Ireland, with the last one closing in Dundalk in 2011. There were plans as recently as 2016 to construct an ice arena as part of Phase 2 of the Liffey Valley development but this was removed from the plan due to the concerns raised by the council on car parking. Are there plans, or would there be a willingness by the council to entertain such a development in the region? I can see the IIHA (Irish Ice Hockey Association) are raising seed capital and have interest from German investors to construct such a facility but are having issues securing a site. I think an ice arena to the South Dublin area would be a massive development opportunity. For the area to have the only ice rink in the Republic of Ireland would really highlight the livability and opportunity in the region and only increase the attractiveness of the area to newcomers like myself. If you know anything on this matter on the council level I would love to hear about it or indeed if there was an opportunity to bring it up at a council meeting in the future I would be most appreciative.
