That the Manager would present a detailed report for discussion on the meeting with the deputation from the Lucan South Secondary School Action Group, scheduled to take place recently, following the passing of the Emergency Motion at the September '07 Planning Department Meeting of the Lucan/Clondalkin Area Committee: "That thisCommittee requests the Manager to meet with a Deputation fromt he Lucan South Secondary School Action Group to discuss the requirement of a New Secondary School in the South Lucan Area."
That this Committee supports the concept of a Liffey Valley Park as proposed originally by Lucan Planning Council and in more recent years by Liffey Valley Park Alliance and which is also widely supported by the local Community, including all Local Residents Associations. In addition that this Committee acknowledges the historical significance of the Liffey Valley, and recognises not only the local and regional value of a Liffey Valley Park, but also its national and indeed international future potential. In such circumstances it is wholly undesirable that any future housing developments take place in the Liffey Valley, including at St. Edmundsbury and Woodville, that would undoubtedly further damage the Liffey Valley Park as did, for example, the earlier housing developments at Laraghcon.
Following my earlier representations to have a traffic survey carried out in Lucan, including my requests for the introduction of a 3 Weight Ton Restriction in Lucan Village, and the Manager's Report to my most recent Motion that "The Council has appointed a consultant engineer to examine the traffic situation in Lucan Village on foot of the recent survey. The consultant's report is not yet finished. As soon as the report is available a further report will be brought to this Committee.", that the Manager would now present this report for a comprehensive discussion and that he would set out his plans and intentions, including details of the relevant procedures, time-scale etc., for the introduction of a 3 Ton Weight Restriction in Lucan Village.
