To ask the Manager could Clondalkin be designated as a Monastic Village and signposted as such on all approach roads? With this designation could come sympathetic and conservative development of a national centre for the interpretation of Ireland's monastic past and the phenomenon of the Round Tower in particular, of which South Dublin is fortunate to have the most impressive example in Clondalkin. This designation and development would belatedly afford due recogniton to Cloigtheach Chluain Dolcáin.

Quarterly Planning Applications Report
Report on the Part 8 Public Consultation for the Extension and Enhancement of the Friarstown Allotments, Bohernabreena
That this Committee calls for repair works to be carried out immediately to the paved pedestrian area from Main Street along Popes Lane to Orchard Road as far as the Vet Clinic. The surface is very uneven with loose/missing slabs and is very dangerous for pedestrians.
2013 Arboricultural Works Programme
That this committee calls for the postponment of the current elaborate plan for the Clondalkin Round Tower Park, Museum, etc and instead pursue a more realistic plan considering the current constraints on public funding. A consultation process should begin immediately with all relevant parties including local working groups eg Round Tower Action Group, Tidy Towns, etc
As a starting point this Councillor suggests the following items could be achieved in the short term with SDCC co-operation-
1. Landscape and open up the garden area
2. Secure and maintain all relevant properties to a basic level eg roofs
3. Get the corner house moderately renovated to use as a Visitor Centre, Coffee Shop, etc
That the Manager would present a report on the feasibility of the current council plan for the lands at the Round Tower in Clondalkin with a modified and more attainable plan. This plan, which could be based on that submitted to the council some years ago by the rally round the Tower group would not include the underground car park or theatre but would instead concentrate on using the existing council owned properties at Mill Cottages and Tower Road. This approach is advocated by a newly established group which represents all sectors of the Clondalkin community and seeks to embark without delay on the work required to conserve this most precious national monument while at the same time developing it's potential as an educational resource and national and local amenity.
That the Manager outlines the bins that have been installed in Clondalkin in the past year and have all the bins proposed by the Council been installed
