To ask the Chief Executive, further to the motion I had previously passed regarding the provision of basketball facilities within the Adamstown Community Centre and Adamstown Community College if an update can now be provided on progress to date. While it is acknowledged that some progress has been made the project appears to have stalled and I am asking that every effort be made to help advance and finalise this long-awaited facility, given the level of community demand and the time elapsed since the initial motion was agreed.

That this Committee recognises and commends the Council staff and/or contractors responsible for carrying out the leaf-blowing and path-clearing works in Lucan Village noting the excellent standard of work being done. Further to this, to ask the Chief Executive to clarify whether the leaf clearance programme applies solely to the Village Green area or if it also includes the approach roads leading into the village in particular Courtney's Hill, where gradients are steep and the build-up of leaves can pose a safety concern for pedestrians.

That this Committee expresses concern regarding the removal of bus shelters from several locations across the Lucan area including prominent and high-usage stops and requests that the Chief Executive engage with the National Transport Authority (NTA) to seek an urgent update on when these shelters will be reinstated. While a previous response from the NTA outlined that certain shelters were removed due to planning or structural requirements it is not acceptable that many stops remain without shelters for such an extended period. The current situation impacts commuters daily and undermines efforts to promote the use of public transport. This Committee further requests that the NTA outline clear timelines for reinstatement and any measures being taken to expedite the process given that some shelters have now been missing for many months.
That this Committee writes to Uisce Éireann as it notes the increasing number of water outages and flooding incidents in the Lucan area and asks if Uisce Éireann are aware of these ongoing outages and can report on the number that have occurred over the past 6-12 months, including how many were due to accidental damage or pipe breakages?
This motion also seeks to highlight the ongoing issue with the Uisce Éireann text alert system whereby many residents report receiving notifications after the outage time has already commenced making the service ineffective in providing timely information.
I request that Uisce Éireann provide this area committee with a detailed report on:
1. The number and causes of recent water outages in the Lucan area
2. Any correlation between these outages and ongoing underground works and
3. The steps being taken to improve communication and reliability of service to residents.
