To ask the Manager for a report on the water pressure in the Palmerstown Area and to indicate why some areas such as Heather Grove and Culmore Road, Palmerstown should have experienced low water pressure in recent times and to indicate when the matter can be rectified?

To ask the Manager for an up to date report on the cleansing of gullies (and the installation of additional ones or flood defences) in the Palmerstown and Lucan areas of this County and if he is satisfied that those areas that have experiences repeated flooding in recent years (e.g. some homes in Glenmaroon Road) will not suffer the same fate if we have a downpour this summer as has been a feature over the past two years?

To ask the Manager for a report on the action, if any, that arose form my recent motion that “this committee calls on the Council to fully exercise its powers and responsibilities under the Control of Horses Act 1996 and specifically to meet on a regional basis with the other Dublin Local Authorities and adjoining Local Authorities, to explore and discuss the interpretation and implementation of the Act, particularly with regard to the continual supply of horses and then to initiate joint action with the involvement of the Gardaí and the DSPCA so that the irresponsible ownership and associated maltreatment of horses currently reaching epidemic proportions can be eliminated” and to please indicate in his answer how the sale of horses is to be regulated so that the intentions of the above act can be effective.
That the possibility of installing a cost effective CCTV system, such as Net Surveillance, covering the areas “between The Covert and Kennelsfort Road”, “Glenaulin Park” and "approaches to/and Waterstown Park" be examined and a report brought to this Committee for consideration and possible action by means of a pilot project. These areas are used as a hangout for anti-social behavior including drinking parties and are perpetually strewn with empty beer cans, broken bottles, remnants of fires and general litter. Despite the best efforts of dedicated workers from this Council the areas concerned continue to be focal points for anti-social gatherings, are very difficult to adequately monitor and are anything but pleasant places to have to pass through or to live beside.
