"To ask the Manager could he contact An Post to ask them what new post-boxes are to be installed in the new Rathfarnham Ward which has had a large increase in population and to thank An Post  for the new post-box at Coolamber Park?"  

• Q. 1

"To ask the Manager could the footpath in the laneway at the side of 71 Idrone Park leading from Cremorne and Coolamber Park be raised and a rainwater drain be installed. This footpath area at the swinging gate is low and when there is heavy rain it is flooded making it impossible to walk through?"

"To ask the Manager could a system of designated parking outside their homes for residents of Woodview Cottages Rathfarnham or a permit system be put in place.There are only thirty or so houses at Woodview Cottages a parking solution is needed for residents with cars?"

• Q. 3

"To ask the Manager to have the Pathway in front of the Post box set into the front wall of the house "Green Royd" on Butterfield Avenue,close to junction with Fairways  relplaced with some form of hard standing as requested by Res. Assoc. This is in a very muddy state due mainly to Postal collection vans driving up on to the verge.  It is a very busy section of the road with double yellow lines starting at the Green Royd gateway  and running towards the Marian Road traffic junction, making it  difficult to pull in without driving up onto the verge.  As the vans must stop to collect post, it would help if a section of the grass verge was replaced with some form of hard standing?"
