Proposed Declaration of Roads to be Public Roads (No Business)
"That the Manager explain why it is, despite requests by Residents from Ballyroan Crescent through Fixmystreet and by me through Membersnet, that the litter bins in the Ballyroan area are still not collected. These bins have not been emptied since November and the situation is a health hazard. The bins stretching from Ballyroan Crescent down to the shops at Rosemount are in the direct path of the schools and are essential for the proper upkeep of the area. The fact that these bins are not being emptied puts additional pressure on the voluntary contribution given by the Residents Association, a contribution that is generally well received by this Council and essential if the area is to be maintained to a high level. The area is now at risk of becoming a litter black spot through no fault of resident but through the neglect of this Council. I phoned a senior member of the team last Thursday and was lead to believe that the matter would be sorted but nothing has been done in the intervening time. Why have multiple requests gone without action? Could there be an IR issue that members are not being informed about?"
"That the Manager explain what is involved in changing the by-laws so as to prevent deliveries to the front of Tesco outside of normal delivery times. This complaint comes from a resident living in Fairways and so far I believe that the Management of Tesco is merely providing lip-service to this resident in the hope that they will wear him down. It is time now that this Council take a reactive step and given that there has been no positive shift by Tesco in the delivery routine since this complaint was placed on the agenda for this meeting, it now falls to us as Councillors to amend/vary the by-laws to ensure that rights of residents to a good night sleep is respected, represent the interest of this constituent, and to demand and enforce change."
"The residents of Whitechurch estate have concerns that the new proposed Playground will attract anti-social behaviour. Could the Manager explain the process of community engagement with this project that will allay concerns to residents?"

That this Council welcomes the move towards the creation of natural play areas and the budget allocated for play grounds and play areas across the County and asks the Manager for a report on projected timelines, budgets and proposals.
That this Council welcomes the publication of the Heads of Bill which will allow for the future establishment of Technological Universities and the mergers of Institutes of Technology, and notes that the DIT, ITT Tallaght and IT Blanchardstown have expressed interest in becoming a technological university. This Council notes Head 53 of the Heads of Bill dealing with membership of the Governing Bodies of the proposed Technological Universities, and is concerned that the Sections under this Head makes little or no explicit provision for representation on Governing Bodies, of persons representative of local authorities, eg SDCC, or the communities in which the Institute of Technology Tallaght is situated, in the case of the potential Dublin Technological University, and requests the Manager to write to the Minister for Education conveying this concern of the Council to him.
