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.

Correspondence, dated 3rd February 2010, from Limerick County Council requesting support for their motion regarding establishment of a Shannon River Basin Authority
"To ask the Manager to report on the impact of recent cutbacks imposed by the Fianna Fáil/Green Party Government on all sporting programmes and schemes run by or with the involvement of South Dublin County Council, and to make a statement on the matter?"
To ask the Manager to write to Dublin Bus to request the installation of a bus shelter on the Newcastle Road at Finnstown Estate at the 151/25X bus stop? This is a very busy bus stop in the mornings and commuters have no protection against the elements. The precise location is the first bus stop on the Newcastle Road after exiting Adamstown and heading in the direction of Superquinn. There is adequate space adjacent to the footpath for the provision of a passenger bus shelter and there are a variety of designs in use around the network depending on space available, so the shelter can be drawn from an existing product range thus keeping the cost to a minimum.
