That this Committee, acknowledging the excellent role that this Council has played in both funding terms and facilitator terms, calls on the Manager responsible to write to County Dublin VEC expressing our dismay at the recent decision to replace the Manager at Palmerstown Community Sports Facility with a part-time Manager shared with Collinstown Park Community College and requesting that the VEC restore the full time services of a Manager to the facility to the benefit of both the school and the local community.

Recognising the significant inconvenience caused by recent disruptions to bin collections (mainly bank holiday services) for residents in the LEA, that this Committee calls for a solution that ensures that particular areas are not burdened with an unfair share of the disruption.
That the Manager would present a detailed report for discussion on the matter that all grey bins are not being returned to footpaths when emptied, rather they are being left on the roads, as in case in many estates.

That this Committee requests the Manager to examine the feasibility of establishing voluntary committees, with appropriate community group structures, whose function would be to assist the council in the maintenance and future improvement of each of the council’s burial grounds. In examining the feasibility of this proposal, this committee further suggests that council should initiate a pilot project based at Esker Cemetery, Lucan.

That the Manager will present a detailed report for discussion, and following earlier representations, on what new facilities are been sourced by this Council that would provide the residents of the Lucan area with additional outdoor recreational and sporting opportunities that are also less conducive to anti-social behaviour and vandalism? There are newer and more innovative such fittings for parks and open spaces that could be explored on a pilot basis, as previously stipulated in our new park between Mount Andrew’s estate and Ballyowen Lane, and that may prove to be successful and beneficial to all our people, and that are required now more than ever, and that will play a part in ensuring we have a healthier community and that will also assist in combating anti-social behaviour.
