"To ask the Manager to inspect the drains at or near the entrance to Crannagh Road from Rathfarnham Road **Address supplied with a resident of Crannagh Park reporting that he has to physically get out a number of times a year to clear this drain?"
"To ask the Manager to arrange to have the litter warden inspect the green space off Marian Grove, there are reports of illegal dumping in the trees within this space. Could the Manager arrange for this space to be cleaned up and also if no dog fouling signings could be erected in a number of prominent places in this area?"
"To ask the Manager to assess Ballyboden Road as a suitable location for the inclusion of ramps with residents complaining about the high number of cars travelling at speed along this road. Is it possible also to put pedestrian lights between the tuning fork junction and Ballyroan/Glendoher junction to facilitate children cutting across from Fonthill through Willbowbank. This could be part funded through the pilot schools programme recently presented to Councillors?"

"That the Manager discuss having caused an inspection of the trees **address supplied, the trees in question are extremely high with Residents concerned that this particular specie of beech tree does not have very deep roots and that there is a concern that these trees might be susceptible to falling down during episodes of high winds. The Residents say that because of the height of the trees it would be prohibitive from a cost perspective for the Residents to take on this task of pruning. The Residents also specifically ask that the trees be pruned and not removed altogether and if there could be an overall assessment by the Manager of all other trees in the estate to ensure that same are safe. The Residents say that the estate is close on 20 years old and has never had the benefit of such an assessment by the Council."

That this Committee agrees to have the pathway resurfaced at the Eircom exchange between Old / New Nangor Road as water is lodging in the centre as it dips.
"That the Manager assess the walls on Willbrook Road near the tuning fork (Whitechurch Road) junction his attention is brought to the bad uneven condition of the walls along Willbrook road, Ballyboden road, with a sizeable crack at or near the pedestrian entrance. This area of Rathfarnham is part of the Rathfarnham Walking Tour - Tourism and Local Heritage. This can be found in google and the route sets out Whitechurch road without mentioning Ballyboden Road. Yeats lived for years in Riversdale beside Boden Wood on Ballyboden; there are 19th wrought iron railings, pillars, at crossings over the little bridges along Ballyboden road (which starts at The Tuning Fork).
There is a preservation order on the entrance to Rosebank (across from Fonthill). So the Tourist could walk up Ballyboden road, cross into Fonthill, continue through Willbrook, go onto Sarah Curran road to Enda's Park; OR on coming out of Willbrook turn left down Whitechurch road back to The Tuning Fork. A complete walking tour loop has been done with streams beside the walk all the way around the loop.
I think the wall along the route takes from the significance of the walk, or put another way if there was a stone wall along the route would enhance the area and the walker's experience of the area. I want to know if this wall could be rebuilt with back to back funding from the Build Heritage Jobs Leverage Scheme 2014. It may be necessary for the Manager to join forces with the Tourism and Local Heritage people for the area so as to progress this. If such funding cannot be availed of can the Manager report back on the state and condition of the wall (with particular emphases on the crack) and provide a realistic proposal as to when replacement walls could be completed."
"That this Committee discuss with the aid of a report the layout of the cycle track at the entrance to Grange Manor road."
To ask the Manager to make a report regarding the levels of rents paid by this Council to landlords under the RAS scheme and would he indicate if recognition is given to the increased level of rents in the private rental sector and detail how the Council is responding to these increases?
