"That this Committee calls on the Manager to inspect Trees at No's 90/91 Killinarden Estate and 95 Killinarden Estate. Residents at these locations are fearful of the stability of the Trees as a result of their size and age and the very close proximity to the houses concerned. There is also a concern that the roots are damaging the footpaths and a shore at No 90. That these trees be removed as requested by the concerned residents".

"That this Area Committee request the Manager to provide a report on efforts to secure repairs to broken kerbing and damaged grassed areas at Ballyowen Lane, in the vicinity of the Ballyowen Castle Community Centre."

"That this Committee notes that the ongoing hazardous problems with water, mud, overgrown vegetation persist on the steps and public footpath (along part of which are railings) leading from the Car Park owned by St Mary's Parish, Lucan down along Lucan Hill/Old Lucan Road to Lucan Village and the entrance to Sarsfield Park. This problem has been raised many times at Area Committee meetings, and inspections etc. carried out by Council staff. Nevertheless the problem and associated risks to pedestrians continue, so this Committee requests the Manager to have the Roads and Drainage Departments further investigate the source of the problem, and bring a report to the Committee which includes information on the intentions of the Council to remedy the problem."

That this Council calls on the Minister to introduce as a matter of priority Mandatory Oxygen Saturation screening with the use of Pulse Oximeters in every Maternity Hospital in the State as part of the general postnatal assessment of babies. These Pulse Oximeters already exist in all Maternity Hospitals for use in difficult births. Only seven of the twenty Maternity Hospitals in this State use this system, consequently over half of babies born with a heart defect are discharged without a diagnosis and relevant care. This has resulted in death and lifelong health problems which could have been improved with early diagnosis with the use of this simple and quick test.
