"That the Chief Executive moves immediately to erect metal palisade fence at the entrance off St Colmcilles Way and that additional fencing be placed along the entire wall so as to deny access from the M50 off ramp at Knocklyon. The area runs parallel to Orlagh Park, and is located behind the timber fencing and between the Orlagh Park/ Beverly Estate Wall. The area can be easily accessed from St Colmcilles Way or if you walk down the M50 off ramp at the south bound exit this area can be similarly accessed. A hut had been constructed in the area and is ideally suited for anyone who wishes to engage in any criminal behaviour and Gardai have found evidence of drug use in the area. This also needs to be removed as a matter of urgency."

PART 8 REPORT - DEVELOPMENT OF TWO TEMPORARY 4 CLASSROOM PRIMARY SCHOOLS ON SITE AT KILININNY ROAD, BALLYCULLEN DRIVE, FIRHOUSE, DUBLIN 24
(circulated herewith)
PALMERSTON PLEBISCITE
(circulated herewith)
"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for an inspection of the paths and trees in Boden Park. Please cross reference with the current Abrocultural Programme 2014 and confirm which trees ought to be pruned or removed and a likely date for such works to be completed by.
A lot of the trees are over-grown now in the Estate and are in serious need of pruning. The trees are blocking light at night time and they are also obstructing pathways and are damaging cars with sap falling onto cars parked underneath.
Residents were assured that ALL trees in the Estate would be pruned earlier in 2014, however this never happened. Please at the same time inspect the paths throughout the estate and provide a time frame for including all such works on the Paths Programme.
"To ask the Chief Executive to please arrange for an inspection of the paths in WoodstownVillage, noting in particular the path outside No. 2 Woodstown Walk (a full list of problem paths will follow which will highlight the worst paths in the estate). Once it is confirmed that these paths need repairing please confirm when residents can expect this work to be undertaken and completed?"
"Japanese Knotweed - I know of one property affected by this insidious plant and once it gets into drains or under walls, it can damage foundations & drainage systems and cost thousands to rectify.
Can we identify areas where this waterside plant is prevalent and initiate a strategy for the elimination of it?
It has been proven to decrease property values and could result in costs for SDCC.
The case I reported off the Whitechurch Road was ineffectively dealt with by SDCC - spreading weedkiller half heartedly does nothing?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for Leaf clearing on the Whitechurch Road. The footpaths are swamped with leaves, please advise when these will be cleared?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to inspect the Lighting on the Whitechurch Road. The Street lighting is sparse and the darker nights leave the road dark, spooky and deserted.
Is there any scope for adding extra street lighting - especially in the areas where the footpath veers away from the road and is hidden in behind bushes?"
"This Area Committee reaffirms previous calls for provision of a new multi-functional community centre in the Lucan-Adamstown area at the earliest possible opportunity."
"That the Chief Executive explore the idea of funding a school bike scheme, not unlike the National bike to work scheme which has been a huge success for both citizens and bike shop proprietors. The proprietors of such shops tend to be small businesses operating in the villages throughout our county. In recognition of the part played by these small businesses, who in turn make up a large share of the commercial rate payers, is it possible to set up a schools “bike to school” scheme throughout the County. Such an incentive would follow on from the Council’s “Safe Cycle Programme” and would serve to elevate some of the traffic congestion around our schools. If an affirmative response is provided at this meeting I will take a separate motion to the next Council meeting."
"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the provision of schools in the Firhouse area, providing details on meetings which have taken place, contacts made and any work which has been carried out since the beginning of September, and to make a statement on the matter?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for a programme of appropriate pruning and removal of any trees, bushes or other plants adjacent to the River Poddle between Tymon Park and the boundary with the City Council area which may contribute to flooding in terms of blockages and other impacts on the river flow and drainage?"
"To ask the Chief Executive when the next phase of the tree programme on St Joseph's Rd, Greenhills agreed and mandated by the predecessor to this Committee will take place; what the plans are for removal, pruning and replanting on this road, and to make a statement on the matter?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the following projects; (1) the Walkinstown Roundabout Study, (2) the Whitehall-Wellington cycle scheme including surfacing and other works at Perrystown, (3) the Tallaght-Ballyboden cycle scheme?"
