To ask the Chief Executive, in follow up from residents of Hillcrest Grove if the Council will schedule the planting of additional trees and hedging at the boundary with Adamstown SZD and Super Valu shopping centre, given that the area is something of an eyesore at present, given that additional building will be taking place over the wall and additional screening is required in any event, and especially as the Council confirmed during a motion debate last year that it will not be creating an opening at this location, in line with the wishes of residents.

This Council requests the Chief Executive to report to members on when the Kishoge railway station is due to open. To ask that the report includes the background to when and why this was built in 2009, it's purpose at that time and while it's part of the SDZ the motion seeks to open this station prior to the agreed phasing element as we are already seeing the demand and necessity for alternative transport for the area and having train station service in place opened and ready for use before new residents are housed in the developments to ensure there will be less of a need to acquire a car.
That this area committee agrees that the council erect a sign with a brief history on Irishtown Castle that is situated in the grounds of Old Tower in Quarryvale. This modest castle was constructed in 1601 by Alderman Patrick Browne. During the rebellion in 1642 the castle then defended by a garrison of 10 men found themselves conscripted into the confederate army and was lay siege to by English forces.
This committee requests the Chief Executive to revisit the layout of the lanes going west to east the L1030 junction. To examine how changes from the original SDZ16A/005 regarding the removal of the culdesac in the development would benefit the area and road users. Both the movement of the traffic along L1030 and access from L1030 to Newcastle Road needs to be further examined. The change removing the culdesac was not highlighted with local cllrs at the time of proposals from SDCC management, albeit it was noted in a report in the extensive large planning file. Considering there is a huge volume of developments current and future within the Adamstown SDZ and many granted applications submit a follow up amended application altering a number of aspects of the original plans, there needs to be an improved way of bringing these changes to the attention of local cllrs. The members ask that Chief Executive considers this proposal.

This committee has highlighted the demand for creches in the Lucan area and recently discussed the number of creches due to be opened in the Adamstown area. The projected number of creche in the Adamstown SDZ appear to be low and given the growing the demand for creches and continued growth of the population, this committee asks that the Chief Executive provides support via Community department to the local community as they prepare to carry out a survey in the area to gage what number of creche places are needed for the area.
