Amendment 3 (Finnstown) Amend the proposed SLO no 1 to delete: Development may not commence until Dart+ Southwest or the commencement of an equivalent rail service to the Dart has commenced construction or operation, as may be relevant. And replace with: That development shall not commence in advance of the delivery of additional capacity on the rail service to Adamstown and Kishoge, and that the occupation of residential units be subject to the commencement and operation of the Dart+ South West service, or the commencement of an equivalent rail service to the Dart.
Reason: The current rail infrastructure is already operating at full capacity and urgently needs to be upgraded before additional demand comes onstream. Homes must be delivered hand in hand with the necessary increased infrastructure, therefore the population along this rail corridor should not be increased until Dart+ South West is operational.

Amendment No. 2 Adamstown SDZ West . To add SLO To support the provision of community parking on lands identified under Variation No. 2 within the Adamstown area, to serve existing and future residents, visitors and community uses, and to be delivered in a co-ordinated manner as part of the overall development of these lands, and to ensure that such facilities are designed and laid out to allow for future adaptation or redevelopment, having regard to changes in transport provision and demand over time.
Reason: To support existing and future parking demand in Adamstown in a planned and co-ordinated manner, while ensuring flexibility for such lands and facilities to be repurposed over time in line with changes in public transport provision, travel patterns and wider infrastructure delivery, similar to approaches under consideration in Clonburris.
MOTION: To reject Amendment No. 21 - Stocking Avenue, Ballycullen (School Reservation), and retain the current designated school zoning.
REASON: Significant development in the area is likely to increase demand on local schools - the Dept. of Education observation note same concerns, and some current schools are already struggling to meet demand; additionally existing schools are all in excess of 1km from much of much of Stockingwood and adjacent developments, with steep topography, which seems counter intuitive to the county objective to encourage active travel.
Additional proposers: William Carey, Louise Dunne, Daniel Loftus, Niamh Whelan
Amendment No. 17 Adamstown South and West (Outer) Policy CS3: Future Strategic Long-Term Development Areas To add SLO To investigate the delivery of a regional sports stadium, associated playing pitches, and a multi-sport campus comprising indoor and outdoor facilities, on lands identified under Variation No. 2 within the Adamstown area. Reason: To support the current and future sporting needs of the Adamstown and Lucan area, including demand arising from population growth and planned development, and to investigate the provision of regional-level indoor and outdoor sports facilities capable of hosting larger games and wider community use.
To reject Amendment No. 13 Rathcoole and to retain the SSR on the lands.
REASONS Road infrastructure: While the construction of the 'Western Orbital Route' Road as part of the six-year road programme in the County Development Plan...The description of this road in the County Development Plan, Table 7.5 is that it will provide a 'link between the N7 and the N4 Leixlip Interchange with a route by-pass function around Rathcoole and Saggart and the potential for a further extension of this route from the N7 to the N81 is welcome, traffic is currently heavily congested for long periods of the morning and afternoon/evening, due, in no small part to the traffic in and out of Greenogue Business Park. The proposed removing of the SSR designation should be delayed until at least construction of the orbital route has commenced. Public transport options from Rathcoole to the city centre are limited to two infrequent bus routes (69, hourly & 126, every 40 minutes). The Luas is at capacity, and it is a 60-minute walk from Whitehouse Lane. Building homes to the west of Rathcoole with limited public transport options will force more people to rely on private vehicles, further contributing to the existing congestion problems. Education: As per COS8 SLO 1 To identify a site for the appropriate location of a new post primary school within the Neighbourhood catchment area by the Department of Education. An acknowledgement by the Department of Education of the Variation's proposal is not a commitment to build a secondary school. The proposed removing of the SSR designation should be delayed until at least construction of the school has commenced.

• To improve transport connectivity ie. to the Luas Cheeverstown, Luas Tallaght-City Ctr.
• To provide connectivity to Tallaght Hospital, IT Tallaght, Stadium, Square and other vital services.

MOTION: That this Council retains the RU zoning on the Edmondstown lands (Proposed Amendment no. 7)
REASON: Rezoning of this site from RU to RES does not meet the brief of providing "deliverable" housing under this plan, as the current owners have clearly stated their opposition to the rezoning given their lack of intention to sell or develop the site, and their desire to continue to farm their land.

Also, it should be acknowledged that the Liffey Valley LAP 2008 included civic amenities in this location which were never developed.
