Insert a new SLO:

“Actively seek the provision of a Community Centre in St. Cuthbert’s Park to serve the local needs of the community in Deansrath area”.

Insert the following policy within the Environmental Services or Protected Area section of the plan or as appropriate:

Policy - Management of land for unauthorised and/or uncontrolled horses

It will be the policy of the Council to engage with landowners in the jurisdiction, particularly on land zoned for development, but currently not being developed; which is being utilised for horses; in order to restrict the un-authorised use of their land for horses, and to remove them. This being in the interests of managing the County’s spiralling population of uncontrolled and inappropriately managed horses;  in the interests of public health and safety and animal welfare.

To amend the County Development Plan under 3.3.23 Country Villages

In the second paragraph, amend as follows “The prime villages of the County include Rathcoole, Newcastle-Lyons, Saggart and Palmerstown”

4.3.9.xvi  That this council intends to commission a survey of trees in the county, with a view to identifying trees, woodlands, or copses of exceptional interest, and to give them protection.

The state airports at Dublin, Cork and Shannon operate the highest levels of security. The security measures imposed at Baldonnell should be the same as imposed at these state airports. This would remove the unnecessary restrictions that are imposed on privately owned land in the vicinity of Casement Aerodrome.

At 0.4.6 Enforcement
