This Committee notes with concern the continuing anti social and safety problems at the former Augustinian seminary at Taylor's Lane, Ballyboden. This Committee further notes the impact this has had on emergency services with multiple call outs to the Gardai and Fire Services as well as the impact on local residents. To address this issue this Committee calls on South Dublin County Council to bring enforcement proceedings against the owner of the site to force them to completely secure this derelict site so that it cannot be entered by trespassers.

This Committee notes the single road estate of Grange Downs, Rathfarnham which sits right at the border with DLRCC. The estate is in SDCC but the only road out of the estate is through DLRCC. DLRCC currently cut the grass verges on this access road. Despite the best efforts of residents it is not possible to persuade the DLRCC ground maintenance staff to cut a grass verge inside the estate as this is outside their jurisdiction. SDCC cut the large green areas with a tractor to the right of the estate and they cut the edges of the grass in the cycleway on the other side of the estate. However this leads to the very unusual situation of having a small strip of land inside the estate that is managed by neither council. The strip of grass in question is in front of the houses at the bottom of the U shaped road. The gardens of these houses are very small or paved and residents do not have suitable equipment to cut this grass. Anyone with an electric lawnmower would need to trail 2/3 extension leads across the footpaths and road to access this strip of grass. This is neither safe for members of the public walking on the footpath nor practical. To address this issue this Committee proposes SDCC adds this strip of grass to the grass cutting schedule of the small mower currently cutting the cycle way.- approximately 20 meters from where they are currently cutting grass.
