Motions
"This Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to assign the services of a dedicated Architect to assess and amend, if necessary, any drawings, plans or other applications, submitted by Community/Voluntary organisations involving works in Council facilities in the Tallaght area, that involves funding from Public bodies, in order to expediate these works?"
"Can the manager report on what he is doing to ensure that all residents of nursing homes within Tallaght who wish to vote are facilitated if measures are not in place can they be implemented?"
"This Tallaght area committee request that the driving licence centre in Tallaght to revert its cashless policy as it is a essential service which under the Road Traffic Acts for car drivers to hold a current driving licence, the NDLS is providing an essential service. The policy contravene European law on the status of euro as legal tender but it also exposes the NDLS to claims under equality legislation. Statistical evidence shows that certain sections of our society are much less likely to use card payments for online purchases including older people, the disabled and those with less economic security. (2010/191/EU) states that banknotes and coins should be accepted for their full face value to pay for debts payments in cash should be the accepted rule. In accordance with the EU recommendation public entities providing essential services to citizens cannot apply restrictions on cash payments as this would undermine the legal tender status of euro bank notes and coins?"

"To ask the manager to consider adding a dog run to the area referenced in Sean Walsh which was recently cleared out and had previously been an area of anti social behaviour. The nearest dog run in Tallaght that allows dog owners let their dogs off the leash is Tymon Park, I feel this would add to the use of the park given the large numbers of dog owners and requests I have gotten for a dog run up in this area of Tallaght Central, if passed as part of the design could tree planting be considered to ensure privacy to the housing in Cill Cais that backs onto this area?"
