To thank the Road's Department, further to my repeated motions and representations, for their support in securing completion of the footpath at the junction of Willsbrook Road and Mount Bellew Way, Lucan and to request details of the timeframe for installation of the pedestrian crossing at this location as committed to in responses to my previous motions and representations?

• Q. 6

To ask the Manager when will the footpath between Palmerstown Court and Palmerstown Shopping Centre be repaired and restored to a safe and satisfactory standard (as per my recent motion) as it has been let deteriorate to a totally unacceptable level?

• Q. 7

To ask the Manager if he will explore the possibility of a programme of measures/events to promote amongst residents, families and schools, the wonderful amenities available to them in the Council's Parks throughout the Lucan and Clondalkin Electoral Areas, and to encourage their use of these facilities (perhaps by including the Parks, along with Community Centres, Grange Castle Golf Club, Sports and Leisure Centres in the Think Local 2010 Initiative).

• Q. 22

To ask the Manager when it is intended to have the footpaths in Palmerstown Village repaired to a safe standard as requested by me on several occasions over the last few years, as they are now even more dangerous since the recent very bad spell of weather?

• Q. 8

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?

To ask the Manager to report on the repairs to the surface and footpaths on the Old Lucan Road (from Palmerstown House to the No 18 Bus terminus) carried out?  This road and footpaths have suffered a lot from the traffic associated with both the building of the second Liffey Bridge and the more recent M50 upgrade and needs to be restored to an acceptable standard as was promised when both these works were being carried out.

• Q. 12

To ask the Manager if he will report on any progress made to provide appropriate arrangements for taxi ranks, locations for taxis to queue, in Lucan in and around Lucan Village?

• Q. 13

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.

• Recommendations in response to the findings of this traffic analysis aimed at improving traffic flow in the study area, such as redesign of Outer Ring Road junctions so as to increase their capacity and the reopening of the N4-Esker Lane slip-road,  possibly as a left-out only exit onto a segregated service lane;
