Cathaoirleach's Business
That this Committee calls on An Post to provide an improved post office service to the residents of the Greenhills and Walkinstown area, following the closure of the Greenhills Post Office some years back and the continuing difficulties with the unsuitable Bunting Road Post Office, which should be replaced.
That this Committee, following recent cuts to the 65B bus route, calls on the management of Dublin Bus to desist from any further cuts to bus routes in the area with particular emphasis on the 150 route, as it is inflicting hardship on their customers.
That the public realm area at Rua Red be cleared of weeds, cleaned, and put on a regular maintenance programme as it has remained in a disgraceful condition for a long period and reflects poorly on our commitment to maintain high standards in the public realm.
That this Committee write to the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government to seek an update on possible local electoral area boundary reviews, and to express the view of this Committee that the name of the "Tallaght Central" local electoral area is unsuitable and should be replaced to also account for areas outside of Tallaght in the LEA.
