SPC Introduction
That this Area Committee writes to the Department of Education and requests a reason why a stepping stone forest of 600 trees was destroyed at Coláiste Cillian without any discussion and request that these are replaced.
That this Area Committee, following the unnecessary clear felling of a newly planted forest on the grounds of Coláiste Chillian, Nangor Road, Clondalkin, by the builder contracted to construct a new primary school there, agrees that SDCC will take this into consideration when awarding any new contracts to for the construction of social housing, given that the builder, (Name Supplied), is also one of the main builder of social housing for SDCC in the area.
To ask the Chief Executive to describe any bicycle lane across the Clondalkin LEA that was been mechanically cleaned during the month of November?
To ask the Chief Executive in relation to the Sally Park Mills Apartment complex (SD18A/027 and SD22A/0038), when the new pathway along the Camac River at the apartment block will it be linked to Clondalkin Park/Leisure Centre for public use?
To ask the Chief Executive when the Eircom Site Social Housing on Old Nangor Road, Clondalkin will be allocated?
To ask the Chief Executive if there are any plans for permeability routes that would link Kilcarberry with the New Nangor Road to allow ease of access to bus stops for those that live in the part of Kilcarberry adjacent to the R136?
To ask the Chief Executive when the street trees along St John's Lawn in Clondalkin were last trimmed and when they might next be trimmed?
This Committee calls on the council to urgently investigate the traffic situation that is occurring on the Fonthill road and Neilstown road which is causing massive delays.
To ask the manager to provide a report on the number of public bins and bin sites available for use to the public in the LEA with a breakdown of locations.
This Committee calls on the council to the lowering of footpath at Collinstown Grove, Clondalkin, A resident of Collinstown Grove is wheelchair user and suffers with scoliosis. and is in need of path in front of the home to be dished.
That this Area Committee calls on SDCC to support the Lá Féile Bríde festival committee in its efforts to bring it's hugely successful festival to an even higher plane in 2026. It hopes to put on a festival of light on the eve of Saint Brigid's day such as that seen at this year's Púca festival which was strongly funded by Meath County Council. Such a spectacle would cost at least €20,000 but it is most appropriate that SDCC would support this venture considering the strong links to Brigid in the County, with wells at Clondalkin and Rathcoole and a history of the celebration of the coming of the light at Imbolg now firmly established. Brigid, our national saint and goddess, should be celebrated in our county in a manner comparable to the way she is celebrated in Kildare and Louth. We also ask that this motion is brought to the full Council.
That this Area Committee calls on SDCC to get Public Realm to address the issues around Sally Lane that include dumping, broken and damaged wall, broken fence etc. We also ask SDCC to meet Tidy Towns to ensure all issues are addressed.
