That this Committee call on the Manager to acknowledge Robbie Keane's unique record of being the first Irish or British player to score over 50 goals in International football. In recognition of this extraordinary achievement by a citizen of the County and considering his position as a positive role model to all young people in Tallaght and beyond, this Committee suggests that consideration should be given to naming a stand in Tallaght Stadium the "Robbie Keane Stand" to acknowledge his remarkable talents and achievements.

That the Manager ensures that appropriate signage is put in place to ensure sufficient public awareness of CCTV cameras operating with the RAPID areas of Tallaght.

That this Committee in the interests of promoting soccer and healthy pro-social activities for young people in West Tallaght strongly reasserts its commitment to ensure a waiver of pitch fees for soccer teams emanating from the West Tallaght RAPID areas, and requests the Manager to address this in a sustainable way going forward as opposed to the ad hoc approach adopted to date in implementing this policy.
