"To ask the Manager to revisit the lane-way between Templeogue wood and Cypress Grove Sth which was the subject of a recent clean up. I would suggest that it would be a good idea to treat the weeds etc. with an appropriate weed killer rather then just cutting them. I believe that in the long run this would be a more cost effective method?"

That this Committee calls on the Manager to provide a report with respect to the placing on Council property such as estate boundary walls/fences of advertising banners/boards indicating for sale/to let information by estate agents, to indicate in the report if this practice is legal and if not what the Manager proposes to do in relation to this problem in the Tallaght area.
That this Council calls for the reintroduction of the annual/biennial junk collection in order to reduce the level of fly-tipping in the county.
To ask the Manager to report on any current proposals, or feasibility studies conducted, on the possible purchase by the council of the currently-for-sale parcel of land between the old Lucan-Newlands Road and Vesey Park (opposite Cherbury Park Estate)? Purchase of this land would allow for future extension of Esker Cemetery as well as allowing for creation of a ‘green-route’ linking Griffeen Valley Park to Vesey Park (the Hollow) and onto Lucan Village.
To ask the Manager, further to my motion at the June meeting, to update on efforts to progress the taking-in-charge (and interim grass-cutting) of Griffeen Glen Courtyard and Boulevard, in particular noting the position of the developer that they do not have capacity to prepare the required legal or as-built drawings; and to also advise firstly on the progress of any discussions on this matter with the original planning applicant and secondly on the possibility of accepting the offer made by a leading civil engineering firm (via a local resident) to prepare the necessary drawings?
To thank the Manager and staff for the work done on cutting the grass verges on the Cloverhill Road and the grass verge at the footpath between the Maxol Station and the Oval, and to ask what, if any, has been the outcome of the meeting with the NRA on securing additional funds for the maintenance of national routes? The median along the very small stretch of the N4 between the County Boundary at Chapelizod and the Kennelsfort Road junction at Palmerstown in a National disgrace. Recently there was some work done on both the median and the grass verges along the N4 between the Kennelsfort Road junction and the M50/N4 interchange (we think by the M50 construction crew). This work was observed being carried out safely with the minimum of “protection”. This Committee calls on the Manager responsible to maintain the median and verges of the N4 to a standard that reflects the fact that it passes through a residential area Palmerstown. (The median west of the M50/N4 interchange has a concrete barrier and no grass).
