This committee calls on the Chief Executive to provide a list of any protected structures identified within the Adamstown area and to outline any plans in place to highlight these historical features. With the influx of new residents into the area, implementing a historical trail would be a significant benefit, fostering a sense of community, educating residents about local heritage, and enhancing Adamstown's cultural and historical appeal. This initiative would serve to celebrate the area's rich history while integrating it into the fabric of a rapidly developing urban environment.

This committee calls on the Chief Executive to liaise with the Economic SPC to examine the feasibility of piloting a mobile app designed to support local businesses in Lucan Village and surrounding areas, functioning similarly to a loyalty points card. The app would aim to encourage residents to shop locally, particularly during festive seasons like Christmas, by rewarding purchases at small businesses within the community. This initiative complements the council's ongoing efforts to promote local shopping through social media campaigns and other outreach programs. By exploring this app as a modern, user-friendly tool, the council can provide meaningful support to small businesses, drive local economic activity, and enhance community engagement. If the concept is developed and assessed in early 2025, it could be operational in time for Christmas 2025.
This committee requests the Chief Executive to formally write to An Garda Síochána to ask why a defibrillator has not been placed in Lucan Garda Station, considering it operates 24 hours a day. Given the importance of defibrillators as life-saving equipment, we would like to know if it is possible for this essential service to be provided at the Lucan station. We believe that having a defibrillator at this location would greatly benefit both Garda personnel and the local community in the event of an emergency. We ask the Chief Executive to seek clarification from An Garda Síochána on whether this can be achieved.
This committee requests the Chief Executive if the department responsible for social media could collaborate with the Adamstown Big Tree Committee to help promote events happening in the area. By linking in with the committee, the department can ensure that local events are highlighted on the council's various social media platforms, showcasing the active community involvement in Adamstown. We believe this would provide great visibility for the vibrant activities in the area and strengthen community engagement.

That the Chief Executive agrees to examine the footpath around Finnstown Abbey green, there's evidence of the tarmac surface uplifting with the roots of the trees, if a plan could be examined to replace the footpath around the green via the next round of capital programme.
This committee calls upon the Chief Executive to engage with the Society for Old Lucan to conduct a feasibility study into the provision of creating a memorial stone set within a small landscaped or natural setting to offer locals a meaningful and tranquil space for reflection on Lucan’s shared past and heritage, including the most notable, Patrick Sarsfield. The possible inclusion of a bench would facilitate universal accessibility for all age groups.
This committee calls on the council to consider installing bins in the Quarryale & Irishtown park area due to lack of public bins facilities in the area.
This committee calls on the Chief Executive to include Lucan Village as part of the pilot program for solar bins acknowledging the recent success of Lucan Tidy Towns in the national Tidy Towns competition and their exceptional contributions to maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of Lucan Village. As the county's designated tourist destination village, Lucan attracts a high footfall, creating a greater need for effective waste management solutions. The introduction of a solar bin in the village would provide significant support to the ongoing efforts of the Lucan Tidy Towns committee by improving waste management, reducing litter, and promoting sustainability in the community. Testing this innovative solution in such an active and committed area would further enhance the village's status as a leader in environmental excellence. This motion highlights the importance of supporting initiatives that align with community goals and ensuring Lucan Village remains a clean, attractive, and sustainable environment for both residents and visitors.
This committee requests that the Chief Executive (CE) provide an update on the previously agreed examination of the footpath along Tandy's Lane into Woodview. This examination was passed in an earlier motion, and we seek information on the progress made to date, including any findings, timelines, or proposed actions that will address accessibility and safety for residents in this area.
