"To ask the Manager to address the encroachment of Council lands opposite Killinarden Heights by scrambler motorbikes/quads by:
1. Urging the Gardai to patrol the area more consistently in order to apprehend people engaging in illegal driving activity
2. Using CCTV to identify and prosecute offenders in this respect
3. Ensuring signage outlining a disclaimer statement should an accident occur ."
"That this committee concerned at the rumours circulating in relation to the land at the rear of the Council houses backing on to the new proposed LUAS extension calls on the manager to draw up a report outlining to residents what is being proposed and actually being put in place (footpath walls etc) in the immediate area."
Area concerned: Fettercairn - Kilmartin, Brookview.
"That the Manager gives a status report with respect to the condition of Council owned shops in the West Tallaght area - outlining if the review promised over a year ago has ever commenced, what specific steps have been taken to address the issues raised by me in a previous motion - if no steps have been taken which it would appear to be the case indicate how this will be addressed urgently."
Roads
Questions
"With regards the Pedestrian Underpass at the Esso Garage/Spawell side of the M50 Tallaght Junction at Tallaght/Templeogue; What is is the current situation regarding the works that have blocked off this pedestrian walkway, (necessitating people having to cross the busy N81 to access the underpass from the other side), and can he give a projected completion date, which will thus mean pedestrians can begin to use the walkway again?".
“To ask the Manager in respect of the three cul de sacs in the Carrigwood Estate in Firhouse, i.e. that part of Carrigwood close to the entrance to Woodlawn, if the Roads Department would consider resurfacing the roads in question as they are in a poor condition, and while some preliminary work was completed some years ago on the road surface in question, if he would recognise the general public dissatisfaction about this work and the need for proper resurfacing project to be undertaken, and if he will make a statement on the matter?”
"To ask the Manager if he has given any consideration to the opening of the car park at the Hell Fire Club during the summer months to prevent cars from parking on the main road creating major safety concerns and if he would make a statement on the matter?"
“To ask the Manager what is the latest position on the re-configuring of the Greenhills Road, if works are due to start on that section of the new road closest to Birchview Avenue in Kilnamanagh in 2009, and if he will make a statement on the matter?”
