That this Council notes the paragraph on page 45 of the National Climate Change Strategy 2007-2012 : " As part of a comprehensive policy position on climate change, the Government is committed to developing a national adaptation strategy over the next two years. This strategy will provide a framework for the integration of adaptation issues into decision making at national and local levels." The Council requests the Manager to write to the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government urging the early publication of the "national adaptation strategy", so that individual Councils can develop locally relevant adaptation strategies and implementation plans, and in particular so that SDCC can, as the National Climate Change Strategy states " provide in the County Development Plan "that areas at risk of flooding may be regulated, restricted and controlled."

That this Council calls on John Curran TD, Minister of State with special responsibility for the National Drugs Strategy and Community Affairs, to ensure that the Community Drugs Projects that are delivering services in Treatment, Rehabilitation and Prevention, be exempt from any further cuts in their funding in 2010. Evidence has shown that investment in Community Drug Projects leads to very positive outcomes for people using those services.
- Drug Treatment saves lives and restores health. Drug Treatment reduces crime and makes Communities safer.
- Drug Rehabilitation Services offer a better life for drugs users, their families and their children.
- Drug Prevention Programmes offer the hope of a better future for our young people.
The Drugs trade in Ireland is estimated to be worth at least 650 million Euros per year, any further cuts in Community Drug Projects funding will only serve to tie the hands of the Community and allow those who are causing over 400 drug related deaths per year to increase their vile trade and further ensnare more young people in their greedy clutches.
