This council requests the Chief Executive to determine suitable locations for the construction of “Independent residential complexes” to address the needs of a maturing population and to free up housing stock more suitable to families through the subsequent downsizing.
The independent complex can be a mixture of both social housing and privately leased houses through “fair deal schemes”.
The concentration of mature people in an Independent living complex allows for more efficient provision of services and also helps to create a vibrant community reducing the effects of loneliness and isolation.

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to carry out a full inspection of the trees located in the Parkwood Estate in Old Bawn. The Committee also requests that the Chief Executive add this area to the current tree pruning programme and carry out any works as required."
"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to carry out works at the weir located at the Old Bawn Bridge to remove the overgrowth which is currently completely blocking the view of this amenity."
"To ask the Chief Executive that the area around the Ballyroan Library be considered for maintenance.
The residents of 48 to 54 Orchardstown Avenue are constantly maintaining the area to the side of the public library by cleaning and planting. Residents are hoping for 3 or 4 large planters at the side of the public library which they are happy to maintain.
Also, at the back and side of the library (Orchardstown Villas & Orchardstown Avenue) small stones have been placed to keep down weeds. There is concrete lip all along the back wall (on Orchardstown Villas) which keeps these stones in place but this lip does not continue around the side (on Orchardstown Ave). As the Orchardstown Ave residents are having constantly to brush the stones back into place, can this lip be extended around the side wall of the library."
That this County Council calls on the Government to immediately move legislation establishing a Judicial Council to oversee the provision of education, training and continuing professional development of judges in this jurisdiction.
"To ask the Chief Executive to report on progress of the provision of pavilions on the Lucan electoral area in particular the pavilion approved for Griffeen Valley Park?"
"It was formally agreed by the Council in March this year to extinguish the pedestrian right of way between Wood Dale Crescent and Parklands Road. The extinguishment was to be effected by means of railing. When can we expect these works to be carried out?"

"That the trees in Tymon Park that are overhanging the back gardens of a number of houses on Osprey Park be investigated for maintenance. As well as needing to be cut back, some of the trees are a significant risk for falling over and need to be removed."

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the on the Poddle Flood Alleviation works programme.
The Poddle needs to be cleared every year to ensure the water flows downstream in flood season. Maintenance is needed on the overgrowth in the Tymon area behind Osprey where bad flooding has occurred in the past. The overgrowth is also causing rat problems in the area and potentially will make the flooding worse.

To ask the Chief Executive whether adult children who are permanently residing at a property were their parents are the long term tenant can be added to a tenancy. I recently had a case where a request for this was denied - please outline whether this is decided by law or by our housing department.
"To ask the Chief Executive to make a report to this Area Committee regarding the extraordinary waiting times for bathroom adaptation works to be carried out in the homes of our Senior Citizen tenants. There are reports of a two year wait for the likes of a low level shower base to be fitted, despite OT reports calling for urgent intervention on behalf of an infirm and aged tenant?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to please report as to whether any assessment of tree maintenance needs has been carried out in Parkwood, Old Bawn, Tallaght. The Residents Association have raised this on numerous occasions with the Council. Can you advise as to when the estate can be assessed and included on the Tree Maintenance Programme should work be required?"
"That the Chief Executive re-caps the stone wall adjacent to 37 FLORAVILLE AVENUE."
