"That the Manager agrees to the provision of a namestone identifying the Parish of Ballyroan and that such a namestone be located at or near the junction of Ballyroan Road, turning on to Marian Road.   (This project has already been costed at €600).  The parish is inadequately identified as evidenced by the recent death of the late Jim Stynes who hails from the Ballyroan Parish with media reports of the media not being able to locate the parish and reference across the media to the mass having taken place in Knocklyon instead of Ballyroan.  Finally, to obtain a likely time within which this project could be done."

"To ask the Manager to confirm a meeting of the Rathfarnham village traders on the 27th February 2012.  It is understood that after a walk through of the village many issues from overgrowth of weeds on footpaths and flower beds, the Smart Telecom phone box, the notion of making the refuse bins more accessible, plus quite a number of other items were discussed.  Could you confirm what if any progress has been made in the seven weeks since that meeting to improve the area and tackle the items identified during that walk about?   I’m calling for the Council to provide a written programme to be put in place to resolve these matters and for that programme to be made available to the village traders?"
