To ask the Manager to state the Council's position in relation to the responsibility of tenants for the boundary walls of their rented council properties, as tenants can not insure these walls against damage as these walls are in the ownership of the Council and therefore would have to endure large expenses to ensure the walls are fixed or maintained in the event of a collapse?

• M. 9

That South Dublin County Council carry out a survey of the back lane network in Palmerstown with a view to securing them in such a manner that they will no longer be available for illegal dumping and/or for unsocial activities.  The present situation is a source of ongoing and severe trauma for adjacent residents as well as a drain on scarce Council and Garda resources and frustrating for the whole Community.

• Q. 5

• Q2 CPO

"That this committee discusses the urgency of ensuring the development of the site at the old shopping Centre (McHugh’s) on St. James’s Road Greenhills now that the most recent planning application was declared withdrawn this month as the applicant (McHugh’s) did not submit the required additional information as requested. This is at least the 3rd planning application on this site.  It was agreed following my question put at the Council meeting 6^th April 2006 –almost a year ago - that a Compulsory Purchase order would be initiated. I was subsequently informed that site drawings for the CPO were being prepared and that the CPO was imminent, this was over 5 months ago. As this site is a total eyesore and the facilities e.g. Shops, Chemist, Post Office are greatly missed in the community, could the CPO be speeded up as it is obvious – once more by allowing withdrawal of current application– that the applicants have no intention of developing this site in the immediate future. The current derelict situation on this site for over 4 years must not be allowed to continue. " 

• M. 3
