"That this Council reinstates the licence to Knockyon Utd FC for a second pitch at Glenlyon Park (as long as access and egress can be done while the Ballycullen flood alleviation works are ongoing)."
"That the Ballycragh Park Playground, in its current form, is not suitable and is not being used by the age of children for which it was designed. I refer to my Area Committee Meeting Motion, from the 13th of September last, on the same subject when it was reported that the topic requires some ‘consideration and discussion’. Can the members be given an update as to where this process is? Can a plan be developed showing how this playground can be changed so that it is more age appropriate."

"Last weekend the Developer of the Ladywell Development at Corrybeg, Templeogue removed 30-year-old trees without permission. Could something be done about this? Corrybeg is not the first place for this to happen. Developers are ripping out mature trees knowing that there is no penalty from the Council. The Council’s approach in dealing with this should be reviewed. Until the Council gets serious about it, it will still be seen, by Developers, as the easy way to deal with “problem trees”."
"That this committee asks the Chief Executive to explore options to improve safety on the Fonthill Road at the turn to Ballyowen Equine Centre since there will be a big increase in traffic in and out of the facility, including traffic lights or a traffic island."
"That there is an urgent requirement in the Knocklyon Firhouse and Ballycullen areas for a playground to be built outside of the play space programme which is currently underway by SDCC. The people of Knocklyon, Firhouse and Ballycullen are forced to go to the playgrounds in Marley or Tymon parks. Given the population that we are talking about, this area merits a playground of its own. This Area Committee calls on the Council to commence the planning process for such a playground with a view to having proposals ready for Budget 2017."

"That between the Council and Tallaght Garda station, steps are taken for the installation of CCTV cameras at the seating area in the green space at the back of Our Lady of Mount Carmel church in Firhouse. This area, which is a peaceful and tranquil place for residents to enjoy during the day is causing much disturbance at night. Residents of the apartments and also the parish office have reported serious incidents at this location. While the Community Garda for the area has been excellent in attempting to deal with the on-going problem, I feel that CCTV for this area is required."

"To ask the Chief Executive to please provide an update on the plans for parking at Rosemount Shopping Centre."
That this Council resolves to actively facilitate the provision of spaces for car sharing services, with a particular emphasis on electric vehicles, so that citizens can avail of this option in major population centres such as Clondalkin, Lucan and Palmerstown (Newcastle/Rathcoole, Terenure/Rathfarnham and Tallaght having one each already, but could do with more) and immediately sets about engaging with major providers to examine where vacant sites or preferably on-street drop off/collection points could be set up and that a report regarding the imminent implementation of same be provided to the Land Use, Planning and Transportation SPC, followed by the full Council, within three months of this motion being passed.
