Cathaoirleach's Business
I propose that South Dublin County Council (SDCC) and the Chief Executive (CE) consider the implementation of an apiary in the Lucan area. Specifically, I suggest examining the feasibility of establishing an apiary on the rooftop of the 23rd Lucan Scout Group building in Lucan Village.
The potential benefits of an apiary include: Utilisation of Rooftop Space: The rooftop of the scout building presents a suitable and secure location for an apiary, making effective use of available space while keeping the apiary safe from public interference. Community Engagement: The apiary can be managed by local groups, including the scout group, fostering community involvement and ensuring the apiary is well-maintained. The scouts' committee is aware of this proposal and has expressed interest in learning more about its feasibility. Educational Opportunities: Linking the apiary with local educational institutions can provide students with hands-on learning experiences about beekeeping, ecology, and sustainability.
I request that SDCC and the CE evaluate the potential for this project and consider its integration into the community. An apiary would not only contribute to local biodiversity but also serve as a valuable educational and community resource.
I propose that the Chief Executive (CE) provide a statement on the current distribution of depots within South Dublin County Council (SDCC) and address the notable absence of a depot in the Lucan area.
According to a recent report on depot locations (see attached), there are several depots distributed across the county to serve various regions. However, it is observed that Lucan, which has experienced substantial population growth and the development of new parks and amenities, does not currently have a dedicated depot. Given the increasing demands on local services, it is crucial to address this shortfall. Establishing a depot in Lucan would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery and maintenance in the area, thereby supporting the needs of our expanding community.
I request that the CE assess the need for a depot in Lucan and explore the necessary planning and implementation strategies to address this gap. This motion seeks to ensure that Lucan's infrastructure is aligned with its growing demands and supports its development adequately.

I propose that we formally emphasise the critical importance of including the planned swimming pool in Adamstown as part of Phase 7 of the development plans.
As planning applications are currently being received for this phase, it is essential that the swimming pool, which is a key element of the SDZ plan, remains a priority. Given the projected growth of the greater Lucan area, including both the Adamstown and Clonburris SDZs—two of the largest development zones in the country—the inclusion of this pool is vital for serving the recreational and community needs of all residents.
To ensure that the community's needs and preferences are properly reflected in the final development plans, I request that the Chief Executive (CE) initiate an immediate consultation process with local residents and stakeholders. Additionally, I would like to highlight an independent survey conducted by the local community, which shows overwhelming support for the inclusion of the swimming pool.
This motion aims to reaffirm our commitment to integrating community-cantered facilities within the development plans and to ensure that the swimming pool remains a key feature of the Adamstown area.
