"That this Committee considers it most unsatisfactory that, as the law stands, a householder with a foul sewer manhole in his/her property is responsible for getting the households who “feed” into the same service to contribute to the (now very considerable) costs of having the system unblocked when sewerage backs up and perhaps overflows onto the property.  In the absence of Government action (I have had a number of motions passed writing to successive Ministers without success) this Committee now calls on Management to bring forward a report on the matter and suggestions on how the present system can be improved and updated so that it removes the burden (of collecting the maintenance costs) from individuals."

• M. 1

"That this Committee, NOTING both the recent substantial population change and the recent lack of capital investment in Lucan by the Community Services Department; FURTHER NOTING the repeated previous motions and requests submitted with respect to the need for additional community space in Lucan, in particular for indoor sports and recreational activities, REQUESTS the Manager to present a new approach to seeking provision of new indoor community space in Lucan."

"That this Committee requests the Manager to present a detailed report, for discussion, on the current ‘live’ planning applications applying to the unfinished and undeveloped between Tullyhall estate and the Adamstown link road; and to further outline what avenues are available to the council to seek to:

• Improve the residential amenity of those residents already living in the unfinished Tullyhall Mews development;

• M. 15

"That this Committee is of the view that the amenity value of Lucan Demesne can be improved and enhanced, and the use of the Demesne by residents of Lucan and visitors can be incresaed, if a relatively modest level of investment was made by the Council in the Demesne, including the provision of additional litter bins, park furniture including seats, dedicated cycling paths, and requests the Manager to ask the Parks Department to do an assessment of the possibility of a limited programme of parks enhancement works in the Demesne."

"That this Committee calls on the Manager to report on the work due to take place on what is known as the Old Lucan Road Palmerstown in 2012 and to include the upgrading of this cul de sac with its footpaths in the estimates for 2013.  The people were promised during the building of and upgrading of the M50 and M50 Bridge that this road would be restored but this has never happened to a satisfactory degree."

"That this Committee is seriously concerned about the damage to the road surface on a short piece of the roadway, on the Village Green side of the traffic signals at La Banca restaurant Lucan, the potential associated hazard for road users, and requests the Manager to arrange for immediate repair works to be carried out."
