That the Manager Reports on the planning application submitted opposite the newly constructed Gaelscoil Knocklyon, specifically on the open green space used as parking for those construction workers. The understanding was that this open green space was under the charge and ownership of South Dublin County Council.
Transportation
Questions
To ask the manager has all/or any of Hunterswood estate Ballycullen be taking in charge by the council.
Regarding footpaths in the Orlagh Grove and Scholarstown Road area, to ask the manager to describe the cleaning schedule for these paths in relation to the current building works along the Scholarstown Road, as residents are concerned about the mud/ degradation of surfaces.
To ask the Chief Executive why there is no green filter arrow light for right-turning vehicles from Templeogue Road turning onto Cypress Grove Road, why such green filter lights are in place on similar busy junctions, if the Chief Executive recognises the absence of such a green filter can leave drivers confused, if this junction at present is therefore a risk for pedestrians and if a statement is available?
To ask the Chief Executive to arrange remarking of faded double yellow lines on the entrance to Washington Park in Rathfarnham and Beaufort Downs in Rathfarnham, and if a timeline is available?
That the manager reports on how residents can apply to have speed ramps installed in their estates.

Proposed Declaration of Roads to be made public
Initial Notice - Taking in Charge of Cloragh Mill Rathfarnham
Initial Notice - Taking in Charge of Abbots Grove Rathfarnham
Motions
To ask that Stocking Lane be assessed and added to the list of works to repair newly developed potholes along the road, particularly between the entrance of Prospect Manor and Stocking Wood.
Further to my motion at TMM, that this Area Committee calls for urgent action to rectify the unsafe junction at Woodfield and that an urgent inspection is carried out to examine (a) the amount of turning space and (b) the location of the mini-islands from a road safety point of view, notwithstanding the terms of the Two Oaks planning.
That this Area Committee calls on the Minister for Transport, Environment, Climate and Communications, to amend the Railway Order to authorise building Metrolink to Saint Stephens Green only and, whilst these works are ongoing, to direct that an independent monitoring group be constituted to carry out feasibility studies to determine the optimum onward route for the Metro, noting that continuing the Metro to Charlemont as opposed to having the terminus at Saint Stephen's Green would leave relatively limited potential to extend Metrolink to Dublin South West including Rathfarnham, Templeogue, Knocklyon, Ballyboden and Firhouse, where it is badly needed.
That this committee calls on the manager to inspect the footpath between number 2/3 Rathfarnham Castle Estate where there is a deep dip in the footpath adjacent to a small ESB box in the wall. It is particularly difficult to see at night and potentially dangerous.
To ask that a provision for safe crossings be assessed and prioritised, at the junction of Hunters Road and Old Court Road, due to increased traffic and teen pedestrian/cyclists since the opening of Firhouse Educate Together Secondary School.
That this Council repairs the broken bumpy access tiles on either side of the new cycle track, beside the new bus stop island, at the hoarding on the corner of the Grange Road and Nutgrove Avenue as these tiles are important in detecting hazards for the blind or the visually impaired

Tree Maintenance Programme 2023 - 2025
Motions
In light of a number of complaints from parents of young children about dog fouling on or around the Carrigwood playground, that this area committee requests the installation of signage as previously proposed as well as consideration of other practicable measures such as fencing and increased dog warden visits.
to ask the manager to investigate the possibility of replacing the trees that were removed from St Brigid's Drive and St Columba's Road in Greenhills. I am aware that there are some issues in relation to overhead wires and underground utilities however, I believe that there is scope for some planting.
To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on the maintenance of Bohernabreena Cemetery including detail on grass cutting, upgrading and maintenance works that have been conducted at the cemetery.
That the wildflower area along the Grange Greenway linking Grange Road and Grange Downs be cleared, weeded, and planted with wildflowers. At the moment there are no wildflowers here, the grass is covered in weeds and the area has become very unsightly
That this area committee asks the Chief Executive for an update on the availability of public toilets in Tymon Park at the Wellington Lane entrance, as they appear to have been closed in recent weeks?
This committee calls for appropriate remedial maintenance free works to existing paths in Cypress and also that the executive consider inclusion of additional enhancement works as outlined in the attached report for the Public Realm Improvement Works Programme 2023
That the Council considers retaining the area adjacent to the Spawell Bridge which is being used as a compound for the contractors working on the Dodder Greenway, with a view to utilising it as an overflow car park for users of the pitches and facilities at Cherryfield - as the Council is aware, significant on-road parking occurs on Firhouse Road in the vicinity of Ballyboden St. Enda's Club during very popular match days, leading to serious spill over into adjacent estates. Retaining the compound would make a lot of practical sense.
