To ask the Chief Executive what options are available to SDCC if private green space land identified for taking in charge as part of a developer's construction of new homes in the RTFB area has not been completed by the developer, if SDCC may demand that the developer completes the taking in charge process, as SDCC's claim over the land is recorded with the Land Registry but the taking in charge application has not been completed? The section of land and taking in charge dates back to 1980s.

That the Manager refuse the licence application No. S25426/08 for a section 254 licence for an 18 meter telco pole and ground utility cabinet at the green space between Marian road and Butterfield Close, Rathfarnham, D.14. The area is well served with new fibre served by Eir, Virgin and Vodafone networks, 3 Mobile should share the existing poles in the Rathfarnham area. Also, the area for the pole and cabinet are public spaces and not for commercial use. There would be blocking of walking routes and encourage anti-social behaviour allowing the climbing of the cabinet onto garden walls.
