To ask the Manager to report in detail following my earlier representation on the same issue, what plans are there for the lands reserved for the link road from Castle View at Gaelscoil Naomh Padraig, to Esker Park, Lucan, particularly given that the slip road from Esker Park to the N4 is scheduled to be closed as part of the N4 Road Widening Works?
To ask the Manager to set out the time-scale and details of works to be carried out at the slip road from Esker Park onto the N4 as part of the N4 Road Widening Works? In addition would the Manager confirm the times of works - i.e. a.m. starting times and p.m. finishing times each day for the work force, and what contingency plans are there for the storage of equipment, machinery etc. during these road works? Following earlier representations would the Manager also re-confirm that residents will still be able to access the bus stop on the N4 from Esker Park, and what is intended for the use of any additional vacant lands once these works are concluded?

That this Committee request the Manager to contact the Gardaí as a matter of great urgency and set out in detail the serious concerns expressed by this Committee on behalf of the Residents of Lucan, Palmerstown, Clondalkin and Newcastle, owing to the continued and widespread use of hand-held mobile telephones by drivers while driving. This is now an alarming problem, and is taking place on a daily basis in the vicinity of our schools, on our main roads and in our estates. As a result many representative organisations, school parents committees etc. are expressing serious concerns at the perceived lack of enforcement of the regulation preventing the use of hand-held mobile telephones by drivers while driving.

That the public open space at Ballycullen Road/Firhouse Road junction be placed under regular cutting and maintenance, as it is overgrown and, consequently, subject to dumping and anti-social activity.
To ask the Manager for a report on the M50 upgrade, specifically:
1. The results of all noise monitoring from the start of the work to end of March 2008.
2. If the solid barrier on the median was factored in at the design phase, given that the EU Regulation only came in about the same time, and if the Manager can verify that this low barrier does not deflect noise across the other carriageway over the boundary barrier and onto receptors i.e. homes.
3. Why are wooden barriers now used so extensively along the M50 when the City Council recently banned wood as a form of cladding and is the Manager aware that the fire brigade had to be called twice recently to deal with fires close to the wooden barriers?
4. Who is responsible for removing graffiti from the barriers along the M50 and why has the graffiti been allowed to remain so long on this new surface?
To ask the Manager to give an update on the Council's role in relation to the Greater Dublin Strategic Study, any review of the study and if there are plans to review this study at Council level?
