- What the current average and maximum waiting period is

"To ask the Manager if he has given any consideration to the opening of the car park at the Hell Fire Club during the summer months to prevent cars from parking on the main road creating major safety concerns and if he would make a statement on the matter?"
To ask the Manager to agree to provide adequate and secure protective fencing at the open space on Hayden's Lane, Lucan, opposite the entrance to the housing development at Hayden's Lane Place given the safety risks for children from the locality, including Hayden's Lane Place, who from time-to-time may access these lands, particularly as there is ponding/flooding on these lands and often times in winter these waters are frozen as did happen recently? In such circumstances there is a serious health and safety issue for the local residential community, particularly young children. This Committee requests the Manager to introduce appropriate fencing at this open space.
To ask the Manager that given the pending closure of the car road link from Tandy's Lane onto the N4 west of Lucan Village as part of the N4 Road Widening Works, that this Committee requests the Manager to examine and report back to this Committee on what possibilities there are to allow limited and restricted car access onto the N4 at this location, specifically residents from Ardeevin and Ardeen? This request is a specific objective from the Ardeevin Residents Association as reiterated at the Ardeevin Residents Annual General Meeting of 3rd March 2009.

That the Manager would provide an up-to-date report for discussion on the Council's efforts to have the Liffey Valley lands, including at St. Edmundsbury, Woodville and Fonthill, preserved against housing development. Following the passing of my Motions, including at the June 2008 Planning Department Meeting: "That this Committee requests the Manager to write to the Minister for the Environment and Local Government requesting the Minister to make a Ministerial Order, under Section 202 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, to make further Special Amenity Area Order(s) to preserve the Liffey Valley Lands in South Dublin, including at St. Edmundsbury and Woodville, particularly in view of the unanimous decision of South Dublin County Council expressed in the Motion passed in South Dublin County Council on 10th March 2008, including “it is wholly undesirable that any future housing developments take place in the Liffey Valley, including at St. Edmundsbury and Woodville, that would undoubtedly further damage the Liffey Valley Park as did, for example, the earlier housing developments at Laraghcon”, in the interest of the preservation of these lands, and that this Committee also requests the Manager to specifically emphasise in this letter to the Minister the urgency of this request and specify in the request that this Ministerial Order for further Special Amenity Area Order(s) to preserve the Liffey Valley Lands, including at St. Edmundsbury and Woodville, is made prior to the commencement of the Review of the next County Development Plan, scheduled to commence in November 2008". This Council has since been requested by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government by correspondence dated 10th September 2008, to carry out an evaluation of the lands between Palmerstown and Lucan Bridge in order to access the suitability of these lands for designation under the Special Amenity Area Order - would the Manager report on progress on this matter given the urgency as outlined in my repeated representations? On completion of the evaluation this Committee requests that in addition to forwarding the evaluation to the Minister, that the Manager contacts the Minister requesting that he exercise his powers and issue the appropriate order as a matter of urgency to preserve the Liffey Valley lands given the urgency of this matter, particularly as the review process of the current County Development Plan has already commenced, and particularly given the concerns of the local community that proposals could be made during this process to rezone these precious lands?
That the Manager reports what progress has been made in examining options for a segregated junction at Kennelsfort Road/N4 intersection and to include the reasons (as understood by the Council and deducted from the CCTV System) why Kennelsfort Road suffers from persistent traffic congestion in both directions, to the extent that residents of the various Estates who depend solely on this distributor road find it impossible to plan their motorised journeys and live in fear of emergencies, and what role the traffic arrangements at the Kennelsfort Road/Cold Cut, Cold Cut/Cloverhill Road, Cold Cut/Liffey Valley Centre and Fonthill Road/N4 junctions have on the situation and what plans the Council has to alleviate this intolerable situation which I have raised now on numerous occasions.
This Committee recommends that South Dublin County Council examines the footpaths in Oakwood Grove and repairs all those in need of repair.
