To ask the Manager when will the work as set out in my motion and passed by this Committee in October 2009 be carried out? Motion reads as follows: “That this Committee is dismayed at the way in which the Council has left both the boundary between the rear gardens of Hollyville, Palmerstown and the surplus ground between the N4 and the rear of these houses as a result of the M50 upgrade and calls on the Manager responsible to provide a proper boundary wall and restore the landscape on the open ground to its original levels. Many of the rear gardens have had their boundary interfered with to the extent that they suffer from both a lack of privacy and a lack of security. It makes no sense to have stopped the new high boundary wall in the middle of a back garden and to leave the rest of the gardens exposed. Secondly, the boulders and rubble that were pushed by the road builders to the edge of residents gardens resulting the creation of an unacceptable difference in levels between the two has also resulted in destabilizing some existing garden walls that had been erected by residents leading to a situation that is totally unacceptable and completely out of line with what one expects where publicly funded works for the common good is involved”? This motion was agreed by this Committee in October 2009 to be implemented. Residents live in fear at the lack of security to the rear of their homes and this Councillor contends that a private developer would not get away with the condition that this boundary has been left following publicly funded works.
To ask the Manager for a progress report on the Council's investigation, including consultation with An Garda Síochana, to provide an alternative taxi rank/ taxi waiting arrangements in Lucan Village which eliminates the inconvenience and annoyance presently experienced by residents, and does not interfere with the existing pay parking scheme in any way which would damage the retail and other businesses in the village?

SIGNAGE AT LUCAN METHODIST CHURCH
That this Area Committee expresses its serious concern over the reports highlighted by the DSPCA, the Irish Horse Welfare Trust and by local residents of over 90 horses being left abandoned or otherwise neglected on lands at Fonthill, Balgaddy and Kishoge; and recommends that this Council exercise its powers under the Control of Horses Act 1996, in consultation with the DSPCA and in conjunction if necessary with the Gardaí, to enter the lands in question, seize those horses considered to be stray, abandoned or neglected and ensure that both appropriate veterinary services and shelter are provided.
That this Committee calls on the Manager responsible to have the traffic gantry between Kennelsfort Road, Palmerstown and the M50, which is totally out of place in a residential urban environment, and which I have brought to the attention of the Council on numerous occasions. Can it be replaced by a single pedestal type gantry as the current double pedestal gantry is both an attraction for serious anti social behaviour, and, a health and safety hazard that totally dominates the adjacent homes and residential gardens in a most unnecessary and intrusive manner.

That this Committee notes the announcement by Irish Rail not to open Kishoge Station on schedule as repeatedly advised to Lucan and Clondalkin Councillors and, requests the Manger to make a statement on whether the decision not to open the station is in conflict with any of the conditions of the Adamstown SDZ, and whether it has implications for the start of any development of the Clonburris SDZ and the Kishoge LAP, and also if he will make a statement on the adoption by Councillors of additional development levy schemes relating to rail transport services, and if the adoption of such levies is legal in view of the decision on Kishoge by Irish Rail, and further requests the Manager to write to the Executive Chairman of CIE conveying the view of Councillors who have been supportive of the Kildare Route Project, and believe that the decision will lead to persistent traffic congestion in the area.
