This committee requests that a follow-up be conducted with the HSE to secure a representative to attend one of our upcoming meetings. The current health service situation in the Lucan area is extremely challenging, with reported issues such as a shortage of GPs, long waiting lists at healthcare centres, and other concerns. We believe it would be beneficial for the HSE to provide an update and address these issues directly with the committee.

This committee requests that the Chief Executive provide an explanation as to why the council has not engaged with the relevant stakeholders, including the Department of Education and Bus Éireann, to explore the introduction of a school bus service in the Lucan area, particularly in light of motions raised in previous years.
With the continued growth in both traffic volume and the school-going population, the need for such a service has become increasingly critical. The existing public transport infrastructure in Lucan is facing significant challenges, including overcrowded buses and many students unable to secure seats, resulting in higher traffic congestion and safety concerns for schoolchildren.
Given the council's role as a Roads Authority, it is imperative to consider how a dedicated school bus service could relieve pressure on local traffic and enhance road safety. The motion calls on the Chief Executive to liaise with the appropriate national bodies and actively explore the feasibility of introducing a school bus service in Lucan to improve traffic management and provide a safe, efficient transportation option for students.
