"To ask the Chief Executive if grafitti in the Templeogue and surrounding areas is cleaned up on an ad hoc basis or if there is a systematic clean up of grafitti on a regular basis and if so at what intervals.

"That the Chief Executive bring forward to this meeting a designed plan and schedule of works for the upgrade and maintenance of St. Catherine’s Gate, commonly known as the Augustinian. For some months now it has been agreed that this area would be cleaned up, planted and maintained. In providing a design for St. Catherine’s Gate I would also ask the Chief Executive to review the overall look of the roundabout and the other two areas at the exits points on the roundabout. This roundabout is at risk of becoming the poor relation of the three roundabouts immediately next to it. I believe credit needs to be given for the exceptional look of the other two roundabouts but in particular the roundabout at Orlagh, which is outstanding and where suitable, this design ought to be used as the prototype for all roundabouts within the County."

"That the Chief Executive present to this meeting the viability or otherwise of working with Irish Water specifically when repairing footpaths following meter installations and where those same paths are already in poor condition. A collaborative approach ought to be taken between the Council and Irish Water where footpaths are agreed to be in a poor state of repair, and that Irish Water would make a payment gesture to the Council for it to repair the entire of the footpath and not just the patch worked on by Irish Water. There are obvious savings to be made in organising repair work in this way."
