That the Manager present to this Council a report as to how this Council intends to deal with the escalating problem of Japanese knotweed, a perennial invasive species which threatens native plants, hard surfaces, damages flood defences and reduces river capacity.
When Japanese knotweed dies back in winter it can cause river erosion and the deposits compromise and damage fish spawning. Please provide an action plan on how the Council intends dealing with this problem, along with what measures it intends adopting to prevent the further spread of this weed. One simple request is that a survey be commissioned, through an ad and on-line campaign seek the support of the public to identify places especially along rivers or in our parks/public spaces where this weed is in existence.
Another such priority area ought to be locations where this invasive species is encroaching onto private property causing damage from land under the control of this Council, thereby exposing this Council to legal action for damages.

To ask the Chief Executive if he will seek funding from the NTA for the purposes of establishing a pilot supervised school bus service, noting in particular the finding of the NTA Greater Dublin Transport Strategy 2016 – 2035 that “the school run has become an increasingly important element in traffic congestion across the region, particularly in the morning peak”?
"Can the Chief Executive give us an update for the plans Housing Department have for the triangular site opposite the Old Mill Pub on the junction of Firhouse Road and Killininny Road."
In the light of recent prosecutions for illegal flyering and bill posting advertising cash in exchange for various products, it is our contention that the County Council is now in a position to tackle this behaviour which amounts to vandalism for profit. Accordingly, we propose that this Council now requests that the Environment Dept of SDCC make a concerted effort to remove the existing illegal bill postings of this nature in the 2016 calendar year.
Can the Council explain how allocations to housing are decided and under what priority are they given. A case in point is the new build in Suncroft. Is it time on the waiting list, overcrowding or medical priority. On what basis where they awarded.
