DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS SCHEME
That the Manager would agree to carry our review surveys of major road widening projects in our county, which when completed, often following decisions made by An Bord Pleanála, leave homes in many areas in our communities at serious disadvantages owing to increased noise levels and loss of visual amenities, which clearly demonstrates that examination of such matters at the early planning stages can be inadequate or even flawed.

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 this county 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 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.

To ask the Manager for a report on the number of applications and approvals for house improvement grants, including Grants for Older People, Mobility Grants and Disability Grants, made in 2008 and in 2009 to date and to advise on whether current funding from the Department of Environment & Local Government is sufficient to deal with the estimated uptake for the remainder of 2009 and 2010?

That this Council asks the Manager to introduce a minimum of 4 grass cuttings in every graveyard in the County during the grass growing season. The current situation of one cutting per year has resulted in graveyards being inaccessible, particularly to senior citizens, and is causing emotional distress to families who have loved ones buried in these graveyards.
Noting the government’s intention to establish the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA), this council calls on the Minister for Finance to reconsider the proposal. We believe that the establishment of NAMA will lead to ordinary taxpayers bailing out irresponsible bankers and developers, and to a high level of government borrowing which future generations will have to repay while billions of euros are being used to bail out the banks basic services, resulting in reduced funding to local councils for essential services.
As this council is gravely concerned that the resources used to bail out the banks will derive local councils of necessary funding to develop and run local services we hereby call on the Minister for Finance not to proceed with the proposed establishment of NAMA and urge the public to support the Dublin demonstration scheduled for 19th September 2009.
