"To ask the Manager to confirm the events and resources planned by SDCC Libraries in the area under the remit of this Committee for World Book Day, March 1st 2012?"
To ask the Manager if he can report on the number of tenants' houses/flats which have had replacement windows/doors fitted under the Windows Replacement Programme in 2011 and 2010 in the Lucan Electoral Area?

To ask the Manager for an update on the taking-in-charge of Mount Bellew Estate and in particular to further advise if accurate CCTV and as-constructed drawings have been resubmitted?
To ask the Manager if there has been any discussions with An Post regarding the provision of a Post Office/Sub-Post Office to serve those areas of Lucan around Ballyowen Castle/ Eurospar Shopping Centre, and if not to request that the Manager write to An Post seeking an up-to-date report on its intentions/plans regarding the provision of such an office?
"To ask the Manager, in the light of various reports of sewerage difficulties in the Cromwellsfort Road area over recent months and years, to confirm the status of the public sewer system in the area and to clarify if it is in need of repair or replacement?"
To ask the Manager for a progress report on the heritage project, utilising the TúS Scheme, being carried out in the Mill Lane area of Palmerston, and if the Manager will make a statement on the matter?
To ask the Manager for an updated report on the deployment of street cleaning staff in the Palmerston area of this Committee and in particular in the Village and Lucan Road area, Manor Road, The Silver Granite/Service area, The Community School, the Oval and Primary School areas, the footpath along the N4 between the Oval and Kennelsfort Road and the areas round the Kennelsfort Road/N4 junction?
To ask the Manager to address concerns expressed by residents of Sarsfield Park regarding litter, dumping and vermin in green areas, in particular in the tree belt and shrubbery east of the steps opposite Topaz?
To ask the Manager to outline the options open to the Council to correct the anomaly whereby Lucan Road, Palmerston, has come to be referred to as “Old Lucan Road” whereas in fact this is quite inaccurate. The “new” road that replaces the Lucan Road (referred to variously as the “Chapelizod By Pass” or the “Palmerston Bye Pass” surely only working titles) does not have a name and should be given an official name reflective perhaps of the heritage of the area. In addition, the N4/M50 exit 7 intersection often referred to as the “Lucan Exit” should be more properly named as the “Palmerston Exit” after the historic place in which it is located. I now propose that these anomalies and inaccuracies be corrected.
To ask the Manager if he can advise the Committee of the current ability of the Council to respond to requests from Residents Associations/individual residents in the Lucan EA to have dog fouling/litter signs erected on open spaces and greens in their estates, if he can advise further what options are open to residents, with assistance from the Council to provide such signs, if he will outline the sanctions implemented by the Council to counteract the nuisance and health risks of dog litter in public places?
To ask the Manager for a report on Waterstown Park to include opening and closing times, incidents of anti-social behaviour, level of usage, the state of the peripheral fence/boundary and if any feedback has been received from the public or users?
To ask the Manager for an update regarding the cleaning of the path on Old Lucan Road adjacent to Brookvale Estate and the Topaz Garage?
In the context of the additional safety features recently introduced at the N4/M50 roundabout, that the Manager responsible discusses if he is satisfied that the signage on the N4 as one approaches the M50 intersection from the West, that it is accurate and that traffic gets sufficient and accurate information as to which lane they should enter to assess the M50 North, M50 South and Centre City/Palmerston? The present situation, which I have highlighted previously, is very misleading and often results in vehicles travelling from the West having either to change lanes very late at a danger to themselves and other vehicles and/or continue on to make a U turn at Kennelsfort Road at VERY considerable risk to both themselves and other vehicles coming off Kennelsfort Road upper travelling west. It has been pointed out that the signage for the Airport/M50 North on the overhead gantry closest to the N4/M50 intersection could be moved to the left so as clearly indicate the correct lane.
"To ask the Manager to consider zebra crossings at the following locations: Whitehall Rd West near Millgate Drive and Rockfield Avenue and the Laurels Public House; Limekiln Road near St Peter's BNS and the entrance to Tymon Park; Greenhills Road near the Lidl supermarket and the town-bound bus stop opposite Greenpark; Airton Road?"
To ask the Manager for an update in response to my previous request for additional tree planting along the N4, to the rear of houses at Hillcrest Road immediately west of the Newcastle Road interchange; and to advise on any correspondence with the NRA on this matter?
