Can the Chief Executive provide an update on the status of the Old Master Schoolhouse project in Lucan Village noting that it remains within the planning process and advise whether engagement can now take place with the recently identified contact who may be able to support progress on this matter?

Can the Chief Executive provide an update on the review of the proposed car park extension at Griffeen Park (Hayden's Lane), which was to be carried out following the multiple motions agreed on this issue and advise on the outcome of that review? In particular, can details be provided on whether the extension and the provision of adequate replacement storage facilities were examined noting that it had been agreed that once the old storage was removed a new facility of sufficient size would be provided to accommodate the needs of local clubs including junior parkrun and Griffeen parkrun. I would also appreciate clarification on whether the proposed goalpost storage cages are being treated as a standalone solution as these would not be adequate for the other club requirements identified.

That South Dublin County Council write to Irish Rail and the National Transport Authority to request the introduction of extended-hour and ultimately 24-hour rail services at Adamstown and Kishoge Railway Stations in recognition of the rapidly growing population increased shift-work patterns and repeated requests raised with elected members, particularly from healthcare and other essential workers who require early-morning and late-night travel options. Noting that a 24-hour bus service already operates from Adamstown Railway Station there is clear evidence of night-time travel demand and an established user base and extended rail services at both Adamstown and Kishoge would further support sustainable, safe and reliable public transport for residents across Lucan and surrounding areas. Furthermore, that the Council request an expansion of train capacity through the provision of additional carriages on existing services serving Adamstown and Kishoge, in response to concerns regarding overcrowding and to ensure both stations can accommodate present and future commuter numbers.
