Having previously hosted rugby in Tallaght Stadium and on foot of the success of the Irish Women's rugby squad, this council not only congratulates our women on their wonderful achievements, but also calls on the Chief Executive to extend an invitation to the IRFU to host upcoming international women's rugby games in Tallaght Stadium.

That the Chief Executive seeks immediate suspension of installation of water meters within the County because the supply is unsafe due to Irish Water’s failure to supply tamper-proof meters to each household.  Residents are being asked to pay for a food source which is open to contamination.  You cannot buy a jar of pasta sauce without a tamper-proof lid on it so the residents of this County deserve the same, most basis safety standard in relation to their water supply.

The problem of graffiti has reached epidemic levels over the past year or two and just seems to be getting worse as each month passes. I propose that the following takes place:

1) Surveillance Cameras be used at Graffiti "black spots" with the consent of the local residents in an attempt to catch the perpetrators. This could be implement similar to the technique used to catch illegal dumping across the county.

2) An education programme be instigated across the county in our local primary and secondary schools explaining the cost of the damage being done. The surveillance steps being taken by the Council to address this issue should also be explained to the teachers and children.

This Council in welcoming the aspirations of Putting People First and the launch of the Public Participative Network (PPN) initiative, supports the work of the Executive to date in this regard and now propose that we build on the experience gained from both the (PPN) exercise and the Villages Initiative (of 2013) to further develop (and extend the concept), by strengthening the strategy so as to engage with and involve in a meaningful way, civil society in a form of Participative Budgeting in conjunction with the Public Consultation element required in determining the Local Property Tax for the 2016 period.

That this Council calls on the Revenue Commissioners to commit to retaining the Public Office in High Street, Tallaght on a full time basis and to acknowledge that this office provides an excellent service to the citizens of South Dublin County and beyond. While acknowledging that Revenue Online Services provides a wide range of services, it does not meet the needs of citizens who need documents validated or forms, such as Social Housing Applications, which requires Revenue to stamp the application or assistance with a range of issues that need the services of a Revenue official.
