That this Council Committee, conscious of the growing demand for memorials in suitable locations including cemeteries for deceased loved ones, calls on the Manager to investigate the  possible installation of suitable memorials including benches,tables, trees etc in a pilot scheme for a Park or Parkland in this Committee Area.    

• Mot(4)

To request the Council in light of its 'Link 2B  active' to adopt :

1. A flexibility regarding the provision of football facilities to both Gaelic and 'Soccer' football in the Kingswood / Newlands Cemetery park and in particular the changing of closure times for the park, in consultation with other interested parties including the cemetery managment.

2. In the alternative, the provision of keys to a small number of interested parties to the main gate so as to permit parking up to 9pm on weekdays to facilitate training. 

• Mot(5)

"To ask the Manager if a committment can be given to install a right turn filter arrow on the traffic lights, situated opposite the exit from Castletymon Road, at Balrothery, to facilitate traffic turning right onto the Tallaght Road?"

• Q. 5

"To ask the Manager to investigate the parking on Springfield Drive, Templeogue. The house at the end of the cul de sac has been rented out recently and the new tenants are parking in such a manner as to cause great concern amongst the aging population in the area. Having visited the site I would share their concerns. I believe that emergency vehicles would have great difficulty getting in and out of the estate?"

• Q. 6

"To ask the Manager to arrange for further inspections to be carried out on the gulleys at Gibbons Cottages (N81),  as severe flooding is still taking place despite the extensive works carried out at this location recently, with a view to this ongoing problem being resolved for the benefit of particularly the elderly residents living there?"
