"A builder working on Cypress Grove South has hacked the tops off a row trees to facilitate building works and had no authorisation to do so.
The neighbouring residents have been waiting for a number of years to get the same row of trees pruned by the council. We cannot let this go without dealing with it. It doesn't seem fair that those abiding by the rules get nothing and those who helped themselves get everything.
Does this amount to vandalism. How are the Council going to deal with it."

That this Council writes to the Tanaiste and Minister for Justice outlining its concerns regarding the continuing upper age limit of 35 years for those applying for work as a member An Garda Siochana, especially given the precedent in neighbouring jurisdictions such as Northern Ireland (PSNI limit 57 years) and many US departments (Seattle Police Department - no age limit). In order to reflect the spirit of the Equal Status Act, where discrimination on grounds of age is specifically referenced, this Council furthermore calls on the Minister and Garda Commissioner to work together to review the age limit so as to attract experienced members into the force with a variety of professional and life skills, as well as younger recruits, notwithstanding the need to pass existing competency examinations.

There is no cycle lane on the Castletymon Road, despite the fact that there are two secondary and two primary schools on the road, and Castletymon Road is also a busy link between the St Dominic’s/Old Bawn area, and Greenhills Rd/Walkinstown, can the Chief Executive please confirm if any plans exist to locate a cycle track in this area.
There is no pedestrian light between Greenhills Road and the Tymon Park entrance on Castletymon Road (a distance of approx 1 km) despite the fact that there are two schools, a scout’s den, and other community centres adjacent to this stretch of road, can the location of a pedestrian crossing at this location be looked into?
