That this Councils asks the Chief Executive to write to Department of Communications To request the Minister to make representation to Eir and other broadband providers to install Fibre broadband capability to the estates in County.

It is not acceptable that in major built up areas we are not able to have high speed broadband that businesses rely on. Many of the residents work from home & are struggling to do so with the poor internet speeds currently available.

Question
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor B. Bonner
Responsibility:
Brian Keaney, Director of Land Use Planning & Transportation

Could the Chief Executive investigate the possibility of the city bikes scheme being extended to locations in the county?  The Luas stops, particularly the terminus at the Square and the Red Cow stop would be particularly suitable for city bike locations, as would various areas on the Grand Canal greenway.  In order to promote tourism in the County, having bike stands at Hotels County wide would also be a good idea. So too would stands at strategic locations on the Dublin mountain way as access to the start points of the walk is difficult if one does not have a car.  Obviously the civic offices in Tallaght and Clondalkin would also be good locations.  The possibilities are endless if the scheme can be extended.

Has any progress been made in relation to the commitment made to undertake a public education campaign on the correct use of zebra crossings?  With the trend towards the increased installation of such zebra crossings County wide, there is a real safety issue, and it appears that both drivers and pedestrians do not know the proper protocol.  Also, could the issue be raised at the policing forum so that Gardai Countywide might be encouraged to enforce the law in relation to zebra crossings.
