Sen. C. Keane
Responsibility:
Emer O'Gorman

"That this Committee once again endeavour’s to have the old shopping centre site (McHugh’s) Greenhills which was once a great facility and asset in this neighbourhood has now for the past number of years constituted an eyesore and a nuisance for the people of Greenhills. That the Manager come forward in this report with a proposal(s) to have this site utilized as a facility/shopping /residential ? for the neighbourhood. Taking into consideration that an answer I had to a motion on this subject two years ago agreed that a CPO could be instigated on said site. SDCC cannot allow such sites to remain ‘eyesores/nusiance’ in the community. This site must not continuously be used as a ‘storage’ facility and this storage operation currently on site should require change of use in planning."

Mot (14)
Submitted by:
Sen. C. Keane
Responsibility:
Tony O Grady

"That this committee discusses (with the aid of a report on my many many previous request(s) to have Templeogue Village footpath area fully paved/upgraded – the footpaths there are dangerous and the whole village has been allowed to deteriorate – (due to the ownership of the footpaths by Traders who are ‘officially’ responsible for the upkeep & repair). Surely SDCC and the Traders have a duty of care to the people who use the village/shops daily to ensure they do so safely – a lady tripped there again recently. This neglect cannot be allowed to continue.  SDCC have surmounted the taking in charge issue in other areas of this county. I am recommending that the taking in charge issue no longer hold the village to ransom and that Templeogue village be afforded the same care and attention afforded to other villages in the SDCC area- and to state in this report what action will be taken."
