Question
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor J. Sheehy
Responsibility:
Gary Walsh

To ask the manager when can the community expect the footpath from Liscarne estate to Neilstown Shopping centre on the Collinstown Park Community College side expect to be repaired given the number of potential trip hazards the pose great risk to the community especially those most vulnerable who travel by wheelchair and the elderly. This particular footpath has a footfall of potentially 569 students and this does not take into account the further education students and members of the community using it to travel to local primary schools and employment. If we are to encourage greater participation in walking to school similar to cycle lanes we must provide a better standard of paths. I do trust South Dublin County Council will prioritise this area and the cutting back of grass which has overgrown and subsequentially narrowed ingress and egress of paths. The Balgaddy/Ronanstown road must be also included in this question.

Cathaoirleach's Business 

Defibrillator Expansion This committee requests that the Chief Executive explore how local outdoor defibrillators can be expanded across the wider Lucan area. There have been numerous requests from residents highlighting the vital importance of these devices, and increasing their availability would be a significant benefit to the community. Can grants be applied for to support this initiative? Additionally, can the council examine whether other local authorities provide publicly accessible outdoor defibrillators (beyond council buildings)? Could SDCC take the lead in becoming the first council to provide this essential amenity?
