"This Area Committee calls on the Manager to prioritise the inclusion of Montpelier Estate in the list of potential sites for CCTV deployment in response to persistent illegal dumping, as previously raised through the (TAC). Given the ongoing environmental and public health concerns, and in light of the Council's acknowledgment that this location is under consideration, this Committee requests a timeline for when Montpelier Estate's Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) will be completed, when the site will be reviewed by the CCTV Oversight Board, and when a final decision can be expected.

"This Area Committee fully supports Jobstown Boxing Club, its members and emerging boxers, and calls on Management to recognise the vital role the club plays in the local community in promoting fitness, inclusion, and positive engagement for young people. The club is currently operating at full capacity and unable to meet growing demand from both the local population and new arrivals. Given its long waiting list, daily engagement with over 130 local members, and clear evidence of unmet community need, the Committee urges Management to provide financial support for the club's planned expansion project. This includes assisting with the financial requirements for infrastructure improvements and essential environmental measures. The Committee further calls on Management to identify and engage with relevant funding streams and support the club in progressing this development, and to report back on practical steps and timelines?"

Questions
"Can the Manager report on the amount of people on the Transfer list in the Tallaght area and how long it takes for the average transfer?"
"Can the Manager report on Hazel Hill site and report on how many bays are in use and report on the long term plan?"
"Can I get an outline to how many SDCC housing and private housing in Tallaght, are currently waiting on housing adaption grants and to what stage of the process these are at?"
