Motions
That the Manager upgrades and gives a report on the Public Lighting for Moyville Estate, Ballyboden. Will the entire estate get a lighting upgrade? Work seems to have started with some new public light poles erected. On the hill entrance into the estate the lighting is very dark and needs upgrading. The old lights are of the yellow bulb type and do not provide good light.
That this area committee asks the Chief Executive for a presentation on the latest efforts to repair public lighting across RTFB and planned upgrades in 2026?
This Committee requests that the Council provide a Salt Bin in Glendoher Estate Rathfarnham.
That this Area Committee seeks the rollout of previously approved Age Friendly seating and Age Friendly parking as per my Motion to the Area Committee in September 2021. Could the Manager provide the plan and proposed installation timelines.

Motions
That this Area Committee looks at with urgency in the interest of Health and Safety the issues on Lower Dodder Road (LDR): The narrow section of LDR between houses 40-50 has become increasingly hazardous. During morning and afternoon peak periods, vehicles travelling against the prevailing flow are regularly mounting the footpath with two wheels to pass oncoming traffic. Several near-miss incidents involving children and residents have been reported. Contributing factors include: • Small and unclear Yield signage at the pinch point • Increased use of LDR by non-resident drivers and school-related traffic Could the Manager provide a time line for works at this point please.
