This motion requests that management provide a report on any plans to upgrade the footbridge over the Adamstown Link Road.

This motion requests that the Department of Education examine the introduction of a specialised school in the Lucan area, similar to St. Rose's in Tallaght, as part of the new schools being developed in Adamstown or Clonburris. Given the projected population growth in Lucan and the challenges parents face in accessing schools on the other side of the county, such a facility would serve the needs of local children with literacy difficulties. The growing population in South Dublin County Council would warrant this consideration.

This motion seeks the management's attention regarding ongoing issues at the bottle recycling banks located at Castle Riada and Moyglass. There is a persistent problem of illegal dumping, including mattresses and other large items, which requires action from waste management authorities.

An update is requested on the monitoring of these issues, including information on how much illegally dumped waste has been removed since changes were implemented.
