That this Committee calls on the Minister for Education and her Departmental officials to urgently and proactively meet the growing needs for school places in Adamstown and the rest of Lucan, and in particular: - Fast-tracks the tender process for the new 32-classroom school already granted planning permission off Tandy's Lane in Adamstown; - Opens and staffs a temporary junior infants class for this school at a suitable location in September 2024 given the clear rising demand, including from newer estates such as Tandy's Lane, Hallwell, Gandon and Aderrig; given the need for places to accommodate junior infant children from the emergency homeless accommodation at Finnstown Castle Hotel; as well as the imminent demand for places for children who will arrive at the Ukrainian emergency modular accommodation at Backweston in April; - Plans in advance for an additional second level school for Lucan given the large cohort forced to send children to schools in Leixlip, Luttrelstown and beyond; and - Agrees to facilitate a meeting early in the New Year between members of this Committee and Departmental officials to outline future demographic pinch points and provide for an exchange of views and information.

That this Committee writes to the NTA and Irish Rail highlighting the need for an additional service to be put in alongside the current commuter service stopping at Adamstown station at 7.23, 7.42, 8.22 and 8.40, as well as providing additional carriages, in advance of the Kishoge station opening scheduled for next April - especially the 7.42 service - given the overcrowding that already occurs and the additional demand that will be created then, alongside the already increasing demand from the growing Adamstown area.
That the laneways between Palmerstown Drive / Culmore Road and Wheatfield Road & Oakcourt Estate be surveyed and dangerous surfaces repaired as soon as possible.
That the Chief Executive, further to this issue being raised in the past, puts in additional measures to reinstate or replicate the protective tree and hedging barrier between residents of Weston Crescent and McCoy Motors, taken down during the installation of a new street light, given that the minimal replanting has not done anything to block the necessary security lighting at this premises, resulting in unacceptable levels of bright light going into some of the homes opposite (photos attached); and if a statement can be made on the matter.
That this Area Committee ask the CEO to examine the feasibility of creating a "sports hub" in Griffeen Valley Park at the area known locally as "AGP 0" which is the area to the rear of Lucan Community College and the complex occupied by Lucan Harriers & Weston Hockey Club bounded on either side by Esker Drive, Esker Cottages and the L1011. Such undertaking would take account of the demand for year round accessible sport & leisure facilities in the greater Lucan area and examine, in consultation with those organisations who currently use the existing facility on an ongoing basis and the many local schools located within walking distance of the amenity who find it difficult to locate suitable pitches and other facilities for daytime use upgrading the current footprint to provide for greater usage by amongst other things;- -bringing the entire footprint to the same or similar level, -the installation of a 4G or such similar all-weather facility as is deemed appropriate, -provision of appropriate space for such minority sports as can be provided for, -lighting to maximise the usage of the facility, -such other contingencies which the CEO may deem appropriate but may not have been accounted for in this motion. This committee asks the CEO to include a cost/benefit analysis in the study and to outline what measures would be required to be taken in the event the full Council acceded to a request to create the sports hub and to return the study to the Lucan, Palmerstown, North Clondalkin Area Committee or such other committee as may be constituted covering those areas, for further discussion
