Cathaoirleach's Business

That this Area Committee commends and congratulate all the local Tidy Towns who work tirelessly to improve our areas - this includes Clondalkin Tidy Towns, Newcastle Tidy Towns, Saggart Tidy Towns, Rathcoole Tidy Towns, Brittas Tidy Towns and Cherrywood Tidy Towns.

Mot (4)
Submitted by:
Councillor W. Carey
Responsibility:
Sharon Conroy

That this Area Committee agrees that the measures taken by TII at the junction of the N7 and Booth Rd and approach to Newlands Cross are insufficient and inadequate. There has been no notable improvement to the confusion to the exiting traffic from N7. Further we reiterate that the existence of the bus lane from the junction of the R136 to this junction is the primary cause of traffic indecision here. (We further note that there are no plans for public transport buses to used here and that express busses are advised to stay in the main artery lanes over the flyover). We therefore request a meeting with TII to outline our concerns here.
