"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to examine the proposal by Woodview Heights residents for the incremental removal of the solid, masonry boundary wall between Dodsboro Road and the open space either side of the entrance to their estate and the replacement of the wall with railings so as to enhance visibility and passive surveillance of this open space and to eliminate the secluded areas currently created between the wall and adjoining trees given that there areas are regularly used for anti-social activity; with a view to commencing some initial works in 2017."
"That this Area Committee notes the ongoing and persistent problem of illegal and unsafe parking on double yellow lines at and around the junction of Tandy’s Lane and Woodview estate; and requests the Chief Executive to examine options for physical works such as built-out of the kerb, installation of bollards or a raised traffic calming cushion that could be implemented at this location in an effort to improve safety for all road users."

"That this Area Committee:
WELCOMES the focus of the South Dublin Tourism Strategy in proposing a Liffey Valley Blueway and NOTES the progress underway, as outlined in response to my motion at the June Council meeting, including the joint work underway by the tourism functions in Fingal and South Dublin;
CALLS for an increased focus on provision of public access to the River Liffey Valley and the incremental development of a River Liffey Valley Greenway (including along indicative routes provided for in the newly adopted Development Plan) and therefore particularly calls for the following:
1.Building on the recent meeting between officials of this Council and the Luttrelstown Group, the PREPARATION of detailed proposals for a permissive greenway along the River Liffey from Lucan Village to a point west of Hermitage Golf Course with a further greenway linking back to Lucan Road/N4 from this point – to be fully fenced off from adjoining working agricultural land – with Luttrelstown Group to be indemnified by SDCC;
2. PREPARATION of detailed proposals to develop and provide public access to SDCC-owned public open space north of Hermitage Clinic adjoining the Wren’s Nest Weir with a view to providing further incremental greenway linkages across the River and eastbound to connect with Waterstown Park;
3. EXAMINATION of the possibility of acquiring the parcel of open space, within the Lucan House/Italian Embassy grounds, but east of the Griffeen River, for provision of riverside parkland accessed-directly from Lucan Village Main Street while preserving the security of the main Lucan House/Italian Embassy grounds;
And further CALLS for provision to be made, as appropriate, in the next Rolling Capital Programme for funding for these projects, including seeking funding from Fáilte Ireland given that the development of a River Liffey Valley Greenway would strongly support their ‘Breath of Fresh Air’ promotional campaign for Dublin."
"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive to provide an update on the status of all Phase 2 & 3 requirements in terms of infrastructure, services, facilities and amenities, including a detailed update in relation to the required Newcastle Road (R120) study; and further calls on the Chief Executive to examine how funding may be made available by the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government to facilitate expedient and sustainable housing supply at Adamstown SDZ through the implementation of any outstanding Phase 2 & 3 requirements, including provision of:
- An All Weather Pitch;
- Loop Road #1.
- Loop Road #2;
- Tandy’s Lane Park;
- Improvement works to the Newcastle Road (R120) between Adamstown and the N4 arising from the Newcastle Road Study;
As well as bringing forward further road developments such as the much-needed link from Adamstown SDZ to Celbridge Road which would in turn open-up development land in the west of the SDZ."
"Could the chief executive present a report on the planned housing development at Mayfield. What is the time frame for this development?
Could the issue of anti social behaviour caused by scrambler and sulkie drivers breaching the perimeter boundaries of the estate be addressed in the context of the new development. Has the perimeter boundary been secured and has that solved the problem?"
"This committee supports the establishment of a heritage project to explore St Cuthbert's Church in Kilmahuddrick and calls on the Chief Executive to put interdepartmental supports in place to enable this project to begin to stabilise and protect his important heritage site."
