“MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole
Cathaoirleach's Business "Following the successful campaign of the “Save the Silver Bridge” a comprehensive discussion followed the presentation ceremony. The discussions included the Members telling many stories of their experiences with the Silver Bridge. It was identified that these stories have significant historical facts attached and it would be interesting to explore how these stories could be preserved, therefore this Committee requests the Chief Executive to examine a joint venture between the Library Historian Department and the residents similar to the historical recording sessions conducted for the Round Towers Clondalkin."
REPORT: "Libraries Department will look into the possibility of organising an historical story recording session about The Silver Bridge, the bridge over the Liffey, built by the Guinness Family, connecting Palmerstown with the Farmleigh Estate. Some information on this bridge can be found in Local History section in The County Library and also at the following link: http://www.bridgesofdublin.ie/bridges/farmleigh-bridge".
"Following reports of increase sightings of rats in the vicinity of the Finnstown estates and also noting the planned works to be carried out at the development of Somerton, this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive report on the measures that can be put into place to reduce the existing problem and mediate against any possible dislodgement of rodents during the proposed construction works."

"That this Area Committee requests that the Chief Executive provide a report on the recent findings of poor quality water along the river Liffey which was recently published by the Department of Environment, and to advise what effects this could have on future plans for the Liffey Blue Way project for this area."
"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to reject the application made by Gas Network Ireland to install a District Regulator Installation (DRI) in Sarsfield Park which is a residential area within Lucan village."
