"To ask the Manager to liaise with the residents of 155 Moyville in relation to trees in the vicinity of their homes pruned back. The residents of this house have been maintaining the area for a number of years and are in need of assistance from the Parks Department?"

To ask the Manager if he will hold discussions with the Department of Justice and other interested bodies to pursue the potential of the Tallaght Garda Station Site and in reporting will he appreciate the need to improve those facilities and to allow an increase of Garda manpower at Tallaght and will he also publish the latest update on the development of the Project.
To compliment the Council staff and especially the Litter Warden for their ongoing efforts to eliminate or reduce the graffiti across the territory of this area committee and to ask that the litter bins I requested (and were to be installed) in the Palmerstown area be put in place as quickly as possible? It is unreasonable to expect local residents to have to pick up litter strewn outside their premises when there are no litter bins within a reasonable walking distance where people can deposit their litter.
To ask the Manager to give a firm date for completion of the car park, entrance and other works at Waterstown Park that will help make this wonderful amenity available to the people of Palmerstown and the wider community? It is now over thirty years since this park came into public ownership and it has lagged behind other parts in terms of availability to the community and consequently has been taken over mostly by individuals who engage in anti-social type of activity.
To ask the Manager if he can provide a schedule for the roll out of the new chip system to the remaining areas and estates in Lucan and Palmerstown?
To ask the Manager for an updated report on the allocation of social housing units in Adamstown?

That this Committee expresses in the strongest possible terms its outrage with this Government for reneging on its promise to provide funding for the Lucan Swimming Pool, incorporated in the new Lucan Sports and Leisure Centre. This is a facility that I and the Lucan community have identified many years ago, as required to enhance the quality of life of the people of Lucan and their families.

That the Manager would present a detailed report for discussion on his proposals to introduce public lighting in our parks, particularly parks used by residents for pedestrian access, especially at night time. I specifically refer to Hermitage Park, Lucan, adjacent to Hermitage Park Estate and Ballyowen Park Estate, where a resident from the general area specifically identified the lack of public lighting as presenting a difficulty for him when he was confronted and badly beaten by his attackers very recently while on his way home from work, between the bus stop and his home before 6.30pm one evening.
"To ask the Manager to replant/upgrade the area at the entrance to Woodfield Estate - and also the green area on right hand side adjacent to nos. 1-9 Woodfield?"
That this Committee appreciates the programme of works being carried out by the Parks Department in Waterstown Park, Palmerstown and requests the Manager to provide an updated report on the works, including information on when it is anticipated the works will be completed and the arrangements being made for the patrolling of the Park by Park Rangers.
