This council will write to the Minster of Environment Alan Kelly stating that a BIN waiver should be introduced for people with health issues. Over 20,000 people in Ireland suffer from bowel disease and are fitted with a stoma. These people have to use their bin to dispose of these colostomy bag through no fault of their own, and with pay by weight been introduce this will be a big cost to them. There is also many other conditions that people have medical waste that has to be put in the bin.
If this motion is passed can it be circulated to all other councils in the country.
Considering that Ireland has one of the highest childcare costs in the OECD, this council calls on the Tánaiste Joan Burton to fulfill her commitment to deliver an affordable & accessible Scandinavian Model of Childcare, which will encourage and enable women to participate in education or return to the labour market.

MINISTERIAL
Letter from Minister for Justice, Equality & Law Reform, Ms Frances Fitzgerald TD, in response to motion passed re Garda Resources. (M02/0415)
"That this area Committee calls on the 11 houses to be built on St Mark's Green agreed by the last council (despite most councillors agreeing it was not the best site) now call for these houses to be included in the proposed development on St Marks Avenue."
"To ask the Chief Executive if the lower walking track in the upper Waterfall end of the Dodder Valley Park can be inspected, this needs serious maintenance. There is soil encroachment on the pathways, the undergrowth needs serious pruning and access to the riverbank needs to be improved to all people to fish and importantly enjoy the visual amenity along this lower walking track.
The fence & trees need to be removed beside the waterfall at the bridge to restore this protected structure to its former glory as a key, visible landmark in the park. The trees were planted in the last 6 years to reduce anti social behaviour. Since then the new cycle track, new bridge and significant increase in walking clubs using this park has massively increased the positive, recreational activity & passing supervision in this park, reducing the need to block the river with this Tree barrier."

"That following the Tallaght Community Council's call for cattle grids to be placed on the roads leading up into the mountains and common grazing areas, that the Council install them on the Bohernabreena Road. This would help manage the cattle whilst upholding our rural traditions. That if this council passes the motion, we can liase with residents and the NRA to secure the best outcome."
"To ask the Chief Executive if the bridge at Bolbrook can be inspected? After recent work to insert under ground drainage pipes beside Bolbrook bridge, the pathway was left in a less than acceptable state. The pathway is still partially covered in soil & the wooden bollards were not reset evenly. The end result is a messy entrance for Glenview & Bolbrook. Can the Chief Executive arrange to have any required works carried out?"
This Committee requests that the entrance into Homelawns is upgraded & improved.
The granite name rock is not enhanced by the low concrete stub wall which closes off this area at the bottom of the Homelawn Road and the Seskinview Road.
This Committee suggests that a limestone wall be used here where the stub wall currently is. This new boundary treatment will align with the park entrance & uses native, natural materials helping to create a visually upgraded entrance to this residential area. The estate is over 40 years old and an upgrade is overdue at this stage.
