"That the Manager provide an overview as to the historical reasons behind the Council’s decision not to permit traffic entry along the Green Route Ballyboden GAA gate during morning and afternoon drop-off times. 

That the Manager provide reasons why this Green Route could not be used as a permanent egress and regress to and from the various schools and teaching institutions within the area.  If this were to be permitted it would elevate traffic congestion in Templeroan, Ballyroan Crescent and Ballyroan Road during peak school times and for the Manager’s views on how this earlier decision to restrict access could now be reversed by the Council and/or Members. 

Assuming an affirmative response to the suggestion to ask that the Manager write a letter to the appropriate person in Ballyboden St. Enda’s GAA  permitting the use of the of the Green Route Ballyboden GAA gate for vehicle use into and out of Sancta Maria at morning and afternoon drop-off times during construction works. 

That the Manager provide his views on whether or not a left turn in and left turn out signage would maintain free-flowing traffic on this route."
