That the Lucan Area Committee notes that the “Meet Your Politicians” event held in County Hall on 27th September as part of Active Citizenship Week, was well attended by representatives of community organisations and individuals from many parts of the County, especially the Clondalkin and Tallaght Central and South Electoral Areas, and that participants, including councillors, engaged in forthright and interesting exchanges on a wide range of issues and problems, about which residents look to the Council and councillors for actions and measures. The Committee notes however, that the attendance from the Lucan Electoral Area was disappointingly low: 2 residents, both from Palmerstown, 1 community worker and 3 councillors. The Committee therefore requests the Manager, in collaboration with the CPLN Partnership, to organise a similar “ Meet the Politicians/Councillors” event for a date in January 2012 to be held in the Lucan Electoral Area, e.g. in Ballyowen Castle Community Centre, and to promote appropriately amongst community organisations and the public.

That the Lucan Area Committee affirms its unanimous support for the existing total ban on HGVs (over 3 Tonne) on the stretch of the Outer Ring Road (Grangecastle Road) between the junction of the ORR with Adamstown Relief Road and the Fonthill Link Road to the Woodies Bridge over the N4. That the Committee further notes that Motion (3) on the Agenda of the October Council meeting (which fell, as the Motion was not proposed at the meeting) refers incorrectly to a proposed "Ban" on HGVs  on the Newcastle Road in the vicinity of the Superquinn Centre at Lucan, and reaffirms the support of the Lucan Area Committee for a time limited "restriction" on HGVs using a section of the Newcastle Road at certain specified time corresponding to the daily opening and closing of National and Second Level Schools in the vicinity.
