That the Committee be updated in relation to replacement of speed pillows in the Clondalkin area. What proportion of these have had to be replaced. I have noticed the use of a preformed speed pillow in Galway and some other local authority areas. These appear to be brought to the site ready made and screwed into the road. Has their use been considered in this area.
That this Committee be updated with a realistic report regarding the ongoing problem of 1a St. Patricks Road, Clondalkin. This fine house in now unused for 5 years and what is required is the transfer to this Council of the overlooked land strip which was included in the garden. This matter has to be solved, it is ludicrous that the Council cannot bring this problem to an end.

ESTATE MANAGEMENT & COMMUNITY FORA UPDATE
(circulated herewith)
"To ask the Manager to confirm a meeting of the Rathfarnham village traders on the 27th February 2012. It is understood that after a walk through of the village many issues from overgrowth of weeds on footpaths and flower beds, the Smart Telecom phone box, the notion of making the refuse bins more accessible, plus quite a number of other items were discussed. Could you confirm what if any progress has been made in the seven weeks since that meeting to improve the area and tackle the items identified during that walk about? I’m calling for the Council to provide a written programme to be put in place to resolve these matters and for that programme to be made available to the village traders?"
