"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."
