"To ask the Chief Executive that the entrance pier in Ellensborough estate be prepared as soon as possible. It was agreed some months back that this be done with residents complaining that it will take the injury to a child before the pier is fixed?"

"That this Committee calls on the Council to work with local community groups in organising pro-social, family-friendly events in the Hallowe'en period in the area under its remit."
"That the Chief Executive comment on the poor state of Rathfarnham village, especially around the car park at the junction of Grange Road and Nutgrove Avenue, I believe a small investment in the form of man hours could radically change the immediate look and feel of the area. The bicycle canopy is discoloured and destroyed by solvents used to remove graffiti and ought to be removed, the most offensive shade of green was painted on to the bollards last year and offers little appeal. The weeds are overgrown. Up until now this area was kept by the Tidy Towns & Traders committees but not so any longer.
Is it possible to have the Rehab recycling moved to a more discreet location, even within this site? If not there, can the Rehab recycling be located in a less prominent place? The area is constantly littered despite the threat posed by CCTV.
Of all of the villages in the County, Rathfarnham despite having the most fanatical backdrop in the form of the Castle and hosting iconic buildings such as the St. Mary’s Parish Church & The Yellow House, the area is let down by the poor condition of the car parking area. I believe that the village programme ought to incorporate this area, the area would benefit from having the car park resurfaced, raised flower bed put in position between the path and the car park, our village deserves better."
"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to provide a report on the landbanks available to the Council for potential social housing development in the Templeogue-Terenure LEA."
"That the Chief Executive provides a detailed update in relation to the Playspace programme, with as yet no playspace delivered in the Rathfarnham ward. It is over a year ago since I fed back to the Chief Executive that during the course of canvassing in the local elections in May 2014, a number of residents in Glendoher expressed an interest in their green area having a playspace. I understand that residents have still not been called to a public meeting to discuss. Please can you update with regard to both matters.
Furthermore, at the most recent Boden Park Residents Association AGM, residents at that meeting asked that I take back to the Chief Executive that they too would like to open discussions on a playspace in their estate. (Come back to me for specific contact details)."

"That the Chief Executive re-examines safety at the Spawell Roundabout as the pedestrian lights at the approach from the Templeogue direction, heading towards Tallaght is causing enormous confusion, especially for tourists visiting the County as they believe they have right of way at the roundabout and drive straight through. I was involved in a RTA there in late June and could not believe the number of constituents who contacted me to say the exact same thing had happened to them on the Spawell Roundabout."
"That the Chief Executive prepares a report on the state of the footpaths within the Rathfarnham area, outlining which areas need immediate attention, how long works will take and the cost of such works. The uneven and unsafe state of a lot of the footpaths in the older estates within the Rathfarnham area is dangerous, especially for older residents who fear falling while out walking."
