That this Committee requests the Manager to seek a detailed and comprehensive report from the Gardaí as to what enforcement measures are being introduced to improve driving standards on our roads, specifically to control the use of hand-held mobile telephones by drivers while driving. The practice of drivers using hand-held mobile telephones while driving is now at epidemic level, and is of great concern to many, including parents of children attending local schools, where many drivers of cars, vans and trucks are not complying with the road regulation prohibiting the use of hand-held mobile telephones by drivers while driving on our roads.

To ask the Manager to report in detail on the road and footpath drainage works carried out on Chapel Hill, Lucan, below the steps from St. Mary's Church Car Park. Despite these works, local residents, including many senior citizens, are still reporting that the footpath at this location remains the cause of safety concerns and inconvenience owing to regular muddy water on this footpath.
To ask the Manager to examine the recently erected (Gantry) signposts on the M50 and N4 and to state if they give adequate indications to motorists as to which lane to enter if they are to safely transfer from one road to another? I have received a lot of complaints that the signage is misleading. I have personally witnessed a significant number of motorists doing a U turn at Kennelsfort Road having found themselves in the wrong lane and thence on the wrong road. I have also seen cars switch lanes in a most dangerous manner in an effort to get onto the correct slip road at the Palmerstown intersection.
