"That the Chief Executive update this meeting as to the progress to date with regard to the playspace initiative for the Ward. It is fair to say that the initiative across the County and most notably within the Rathfarnham Ward has not been well received by residents. Two suggested locations that from my instructions would welcome a playspace might be around Stocking Avenue and indeed this suggestion has been made by me and accepted by the Manager at earlier RAC meetings, a second suggestion would be in Glendoher Park, there is unlikely to be the same level of opposition from residents as Glendoher Park is sufficiently away from individual houses as not to draw concerns that the space might be a magnet for anti-social gatherings."

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor C. King
Responsibility:
Leo Magee

"That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to arrange for a crackdown on illegal dumping at Kiltalown Park (the park itself - not the Road) as rats have become a massive issue for residents in the vicinity. This Committee further calls on the Chief Executive to report on what measures have been taken in relation to my request for an overall crackdown on this anti social activity in the Kiltalown area which was subject to a motion in my name last May 2014 and can the Manager make a statement on the matter".

That the Manager further agrees to have this area placed on a regular cleansing schedule”.

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor A-M. Dermody
Responsibility:
Michael McAdam

That this Council support the Motion calling for the removal of fluoride in the public water supply. It is accepted that in the case of Ryan –v- The Attorney General in 1965 that the use of fluoride in public water supply was seen to serve the common good. However almost 50 years later and given the scientific evidence against the benefits of fluoride in water it is unconceivable that this practice be continued.

Ireland is the only Country in Europe and one of two in the world to permit the use of fluoride in the public water supply.

Furthermore given the views of experts as to the side effects of fluoride in our public water supply that could be damaging to the green image” Ireland portrays abroad.

I would also ask that in supporting this Motion that the saving of €4,000,000 by not imposing fluoride in the public water supply be used as part of a public awareness campaign around dental hygiene. I would contend that in the 50 years since the Ryan case that the common good has now shifted away from the use of fluoride in water and now the common good is best served by removing fluoride from the public water supply.
