To ask the Manager to report on progress made in respect of my request at the May '06 Council Meeting for information regarding the allocation of schools in close proximity to overhead power lines, resulting from the Adamstown Variation Proposal involving the relocation of the northern part of the combined schools and leisure campus site, to an immediately adjoining site to the south-west of Adamstown.

To ask the Manager to report in detail on fines and prosecutions pursued for illegal dumping at Bottle Banks on an area by area basis for 2006?

• Q3 Bottle Banks

New Works (if any)

To ask the Manager to report on what progress is being made with regularising the return on bins by domestic refuse bins to footpaths. More people are reporting that bins are being left on roads, often in the middle of roads in estates and this is causing a safety issue in many estates as well as an inconvenience, especially to senior citizens. Notwithstanding the valuable service being provided and taking into account the sometimes inclement weather, it is important that all domestic refuse bins should be returned to footpaths?

• Q4 Refuse Bins

To ask the Manager to seek reports from the Postal Services on the reduced regularity of postal services in some areas arising from staff shortages as a result of absenteeism. Notwithstanding the benefits of regular meetings between Councillors and Postal Officials, the Postal Service in some parts of the County has noticeably dis-improved in very recent times.

• Q7 Bonfires

To ask the Manager, to state how many of the 16,000 "letter deletions" have been re-entered onto the electoral register to date since the draft register was published on 1st November 2006 as a result of forms being submitted to the Council and can the Manager break this figure down to Dublin South West and can the Manager make a statement on the matter?

• Q8 Register of Electors Deletions

To ask the Manager, to report on the possibility of providing additional resources to tackling the issue of vacant/boarded up houses through out the County as the numbers of such units has increased significantly each year for the past three years despite the trojan work carried out on an ongoing basis by the staff of the various depots. This matter is raised fully understanding the various reasons for the delay in re-allocating units and that it is not necessary to state these reasons again?

• Q9 Vacant/Boarded Up Houses

Declaration of Roads to be Public Roads (if any)
