"This area committee requests that a permanent play space is added to the green area beside 2 Bawn Avenue, to replace the one recently removed due to safety concerns?"
"To ask the manager if they are aware of the ongoing anti social behaviour and increase in litter in Sean Walsh Park in the wooded area which backs onto Cill Cais Estate and what plans are in place to further tackle this?"
Environment
Questions
"To ask the Council whether the Council would consider giving access to, or loaning, a small portion of land in Killinarden Park to Sacred Heart Senior School in Killinarden to facilitate the placement of a modular unit for a special class? There is a desperate need for a special class in the Senior School. There is agreement from the Department of Education to provide a permanent build for two special classes, however it is unlikely that these would be built before September 2027. In the meantime, a modular unit would provide spaces for an additional 6 children from September. The Department is seeking to provide such a unit. However, there are a number of obstacles to this from the point of view of the Board of Management. The biggest of these problems is the absence of appropriate space in the current grounds. I attach a potential location in the park. An opening could be created in the fence and the fencing continued on the other side of the modular unit to ensure that the school and park remain appropriately fenced. If this is a possibility, what would be the next steps for the Council to pursue it?"
"Can the Manager report on fly tipping in the Tallaght area and report on any fines handed out?"
"Can the Manager make a report for residents who want to do clean-ups in estates around Tallaght and what assistance the council supply?"
"To ask the Manager how many times in the past 12 months had the pavilion in Dodder Valley Park been booked?"
