To ask the Manager if there has been any response from the NRA to my motion requesting that they meet with this Committee to discuss the work that remains around the Palmerstown M50 interchange as a result of the M50 upgrade and while acknowledging the work of South Dublin County Council staff in addressing the problems being experienced by residents, it has to be noted that the offer of a balustrade fence to the rear of Hollyville is not acceptable and residents deserve that the wall be continued along back gardens to reduce noise levels and to restore security and privacy?

Motion
Meeting:
Submitted by:
Councillor G. Kenny
Responsibility:
Paul Hogan, Anne Hyland

That the Manager clarify if and when the new Liffey Valley Development goes ahead does the new development have provision for labour sourced locally specifically in the North Clondalkin area in the development of Liffey Valley. Since the downturn in the construction industry, places like North Clondalkin have suffered disproportionately in terms of construction jobs lost in the community. Can the Manager or relevant bodies, articulate their opinion on direct labour.
