Could I please get some information on the qualifying criteria for being a restaraunt. Many pubs in our area are considering re-opening as restaraunts and this would be very helpful for them.

That the trees and bushes in Dodder Lineal Park be cut back to ensure a safe passage of pedestrians and cyclists in the park that allows appropriate social distancing. There are certain sections of the pathway that are very narrow as a result of overgrown hedges.

To ask the Chief Executive for a report in relation to the progress of the excellent Wellington Lane Walking and Cycling Scheme. Thank you.
Mindful that the previous three year programme was already significantly behind its schedule, it is assumed that now with Covid 19, the new Tree Maintenance and Tree Planting Programme is further delayed.
My motion is that this Committee is provided with a detailed report regarding the progress of the Tree Maintenance and Tree Planting Programme.

The current Council policy for the selection and placement of litter bins are chosen as follows:
Locations where requests for bins should receive priority for litter bin placements are:
•Town and village centres
•Vicinity of shops such as newsagents, food retailers, supermarkets
•Areas where people congregate e.g. bus stops, tram stops, post offices, public service buildings /
offices
•Main routes to schools
•Larger parks greater than 16 hectares in size e.g. in the vicinity of play grounds and dog runs
While this would appear to be a sensible selection criteria, there are parks in the Templeogue area in particular that are either inadequately served by bins or not served at all.
I am asking that this Committee support my motion for a review of the criteria for the placement of litter bins or in the alternative that the litter management plan is accelerated to cope with the increased usage of outdoors and consequently the increased littering by small numbers of the public.
To ask the Chief Executive to update the members in relation to the implementation and administration of the vacant sites levy established under the Urban Regeneration & Housing Act 2015. This levy was brought in as a site activation measure to ensure that vacant land in urban areas is brought into beneficial use and to prevent land hoarding.
To specifically ask the Chief Executive whether SDCC has assigned market valuations to any vacant lands in the Rathfarnham/Templeogue and Firhouse/Bohernabreena Local Electoral Areas, whether an active register is in place and whether levies have been collected to date. If levies have not yet been collected, or any other aspect, to ask the chief executive to make a statement on the matter.
Can I please be advised of the parks cleaning schedule, the exact nature of the works carried out, the frequency of work, the criteria for deciding the extent and frequency of works to be carried out, especially in respect of:
The parks known as: 8 acres, 5 acres, Glendown play space, Tymon Park, Orwell Green, and other large green areas in the Templeogue/Perrystown area.
Thank you.
SOCIAL DISTANCING FOR IMPROVED MOBILITY
To ask the Chief Executive to set out the types of and location of trees to be planted in this electoral area in 2020, with particular emphasis on the location of replacement trees where trees have previously had to be removed due to storm damage and/or disease or otherwise.
To ask the Chief Executive to publish the SDCC temporary mobility framework for this local electoral area.
During this time of crisis we have seen a significant increase in cycling and walking. It is essential that we encourage those who have used the quietness of roadway to become or return to cycling. In order to facilitate this I am asking for the support of this Committee to hasten the implementation of all existing plans to advance cycling and walking and to consider the implementation of a mobility plan similar to that shown by Dublin City Council in the main roads in the areas of Rathfarnham, Templeogue, Greenhills and Perrystown.

How many sites within the area covered by this Committee are managed for biodiversity?
Given the unsatisfactory and generic response by the Department of Education to the letter written on behalf of this Area Committee concerning the shortage of SNAs, that this Area Committee write to the Department asking them to engage fully with parents and schools and, in particular, to examine the specific needs of Firhouse Educate Together National School in order to ensure that badly needed supports will be available when the children do finally go back to school. And that this Committee supports the agreed review of services and ask that said review is carried out as a matter of urgency.
In light of the present application to build 496 residential units in blocks of up to 7 storeys high at the Augustinian site on Taylor's Lane, that this Area Committee write to the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government calling on the incoming government to revoke S.I. 271/2017 and bring to an end the wholly undemocratic system of Strategic Housing Developments.
"To ask the Chief Executive that as there is high level of litter in Corkagh Park can the Chief Executive Officer issue a litter picking schedule within Corkagh Park? and also a number of Clondalkin Residents are asking if South Dublin County Council collect litter in the park and if so how frequently?"
"That this committee requests in light of the Data Protection Commission report dated 26th March ref. C-20-2-660 - SDCC ref M65153 - can the CEO report on the names of businesses in Clondalkin who have received fines under the Litter Pollution Act 1997 and subsequent Amendments. We ask that this report includes the regularity of fines per business. Also is there any fines outstanding per business? As there are a number of high profile businesses regularly not adhering to their obligations this Committee requests a monthly report on named businesses to have received notices and or fines."
