That this Committee congratulates all concerned with the 'Halloween Spooky Walk' in Corkagh Park which proved to be hugely popular with young and old and also to ask that the possibility of something similar with a Christmas/Santa theme could be investigated.
That the Manager updates this Committee on SDCC'S proposals to secure Omer Lock House which is supposedly a protected structure as requested in May 2010.
That the Manager would consider allocating a small section of Griffeen Valley Regional Park as a "Dog Park" whereby residents can allow their dogs exercise without dog leads, and that this initiative be introduced as a pilot project, and that this pilot project would incorporate the usual dog litter regulations. As previously stated such a facility has been requested by quite a number of residents who would be very supportive of such a new initiative in South Dublin County Council.
To ensure that the Council builds on the success of this year's Open Day in Ballymount Civic Amenity and to allow more customers in the Tallaght area to avail of the free service, that the Manager will consider extending the scheme in 2011 to at least three weekends before Halloween.
