This committee seeks to inquire about the efforts being made to address the sporadic car parking occurring around Airlei Park.
Evidence has shown cars parking on footpaths, green areas, and obstructing pedestrians, including those with buggies. As this park is a newly installed amenity, a solution to rectify this issue before it escalates is necessary. Additionally, the committee requests an investigation into the reasons behind the significant increase in car usage around the park.
This investigation should include determining the number of parking spaces provided within the park and identifying the reasons why cars are parking haphazardly throughout the area.

The committee raises the issue of the terminus location that once existed in the Lucan area under the old bus network, pre-Bus Connects, specifically the terminus at Supervalu and Dodsboro.
As the issue of bus service was discussed at last month's meeting, this motion seeks to highlight the removal of the 25 bus service from Dodsboro. The removal of this service has been devastating for the locals in this area, an old part of Lucan.
It is proposed that this matter be added to the list of issues to be raised with the National Transport Authority (NTA). With the removal of some bus services and the relocation of bus terminus, it is requested that a report be prepared outlining the total number of buses that were in place pre-Bus Connects and compare it to the bus services in place since the introduction of the Bus Connects initiative.
The report should also include any planned bus services for the future.

The committee is eager to gain insights into the workings of various Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) within our area, given the increase in AHBs in various developments.

It is requested that the Chief Executive assists in arranging a meeting where each AHB can present an overview of their operations, specifically detailing how they contribute to various developments within our county.
This would offer committee members an opportunity to understand their roles, ongoing projects, and any plans for future developments.
The committee hereby requests the Chief Executive to conduct a thorough reassessment of the provision of childcare services in the Lucan area. This motion is prompted by the response to a question tabled during the previous month's meeting, which revealed a concerning trend of more creches closing than opening in the region.
The inadequacy of childcare services poses a significant challenge for residents in the Lucan area, particularly for new residents moving into the Adamstown area. These new residents were promised essential facilities, including childcare services, highlighting the urgency of addressing this issue.
We ask that the Chief Executive provide a statement outlining strategies and initiatives aimed at increasing the availability of childcare services and providers in the Lucan area.
This statement should encompass collaborative efforts with relevant stakeholders, potential policy revisions, and exploration of funding opportunities to facilitate the expansion of childcare facilities.
