To request an update from the Chief Executive on the plans for the car park extension at Griffeen Park, Hayden’s Lane. As part of these plans, it was agreed that the existing storage unit, once removed, would be reinstalled as part of the extension project.
That the Area Committee requests South Dublin County Council to consider plans for the installation of red-light cameras, similar to those being introduced by Dublin City Council this year. There are ongoing concerns regarding vehicles consistently running red lights at this junction from the N4 side, regardless of the time of day. A red-light camera system would improve enforcement and enhance safety for all road users.
Cathaoirleach’s Business
That the Area Committee requests South Dublin County Council to install a communication board at Lucan Demesne as part of the ongoing upgrade plans. This addition would align with similar boards installed in other parks, enhancing accessibility and inclusivity for all visitors.
Can the Council confirm when the damaged ramp at St. Finian's, which has been reported multiple times, is scheduled for repair? While this ramp is not located on a major or busy road, its current state is severely damaged and poses a hazard, requiring urgent attention.
Cathaoirleach's Business
That the Area Committee request South Dublin County Council to explore how best to communicate with residents regarding the issue of discoloured water, ensuring they are fully informed of the causes and appropriate steps to take when experiencing this problem. While SDCC no longer has a direct role in the management of water services, and Irish Water (Uisce Éireann) is in full control, the Council still has a responsibility to advise residents on such issues. Our offices should also serve as a channel to relay these concerns back to Irish Water to ensure prompt investigation and resolution. Additionally, the committee requests that Irish Water confirm what specific actions they are taking to prevent the illegal use of public hydrants by third parties, which has been identified as the cause of recent water discoloration in Finnstown Abbey, Lucan. Given that this issue has been ongoing for some time, it is of serious concern that such unauthorised actions continue to affect residents' water supply.
To ask the manager whether a best practice communications process, guideline, or checklist exists for developers to promote effective communication with residents during construction phases? If not, whether this would be considered and developed from lessons learned via developments across the county.
