"To ask the Chief Executive to please request the Public Realms Department to remove all graffiti that has been sprayed on the Charlie O'Toole bridge?"
That this Council calls on the Restaurant Association of Ireland to impose a boycott on all Israeli goods such as but not exclusively vegetables and herbs which are widely used in the Industry until at least such time that the Israeli imposed blockade on Gaza is lifted. We have all witnessed the horror of the Israeli war machine recently and the continued blockade on Gaza continues to have hugely negative impact on the quality of lives of Civilians there living in a virtual prison. This Council calls on this boycott to be introduced without delay.

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on when he expects works to be completed at 77A Avonbeg Drive so as this house can be allocated?"
"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange inspection of the pathway leading from The Park Millbrook Lawns to the Seskinview Road. Residents have complained that the pathway which leads from the bottom of Park through to the Seskin View Road has become overgrown and during the winter months is totally impassable due to flooding (Many people use this to access the 77A bus and also parents with prams going to and from the shops). I attended a meeting at the site with residents and this is clearly the case. They have also complained that the walls surrounding the grass area have become dangerous as there are holes in them and they could come down on a child if they climbed up on them. Can you arrange to have this area inspected and let me local residents know what works will be completed to improve the pathway and make the walls safe?"
"To ask the Chief Executive if he will arrange to have the trees located along the Tallaght By-pass and Glenview (on the village side of the Road) inspected and arrange that they are pruned or if required removed as they are at a very dangerous height, and I have received numerous requests from residents. Also to ask that the public realm team carry out the removal of weeds and nettles and spray for vermin around the base of these trees.
"To ask the Chief Executive to arrange for litter picking to take place at the earliest opportunity in the area leading from St Dominic's Shops and the entrance into Homelawns as it is badly littered at the moment. To request that regular litter picking takes place in this area going forward?"
That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to install traffic calming measures in The Wood, Millbrook Lawns, as many residents have complained that cars are travelling at speed through this area putting young children playing at risk.
This Council supports the valuable work undertaken by the National Collective of Community Based Women’s Networks. We also support the important work carried out by the Community Women’s Networks in Clondalkin and Tallaght. We oppose the decision by the former Minister for Environment Phil Hogan to cease funding these groups through their National Network and call on the new Minister for Environment Alan Kelly to restore this funding for 2015 pending a full review of the projects and their funding, as the new Minister has done with a number of disability advocacy organisations.
This Council acting on behalf of its hard pressed taxpayers and concerned for the future funding of the services and facilities it provides, calls on the Taoiseach, Minister for Finance and the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government to repeal or amend the current legislation setting up the Local Property Tax, which is neither a wealth tax or a feasible means of funding Local Government and replace it with a sustainable local service charge that is based on the funding of named local services, is linked on ability to pay and to general taxation in such a manner that it excludes double taxation is fair, equitable and transparent. And that the Chief Executive Officer so write to the Taoiseach and named Ministers conveying the decision of this Council and copying the County Councils.
