This committee requests that a follow-up be conducted with the HSE to secure a representative to attend one of our upcoming meetings. The current health service situation in the Lucan area is extremely challenging, with reported issues such as a shortage of GPs, long waiting lists at healthcare centres, and other concerns. We believe it would be beneficial for the HSE to provide an update and address these issues directly with the committee.
To request that the Chief Executive arrange for the replacement of the large concrete blocks at the roundabout at the end of Dodsboro Hill. These blocks, while placed for safety reasons, are considered unattractive and detract from the appearance of this main gateway into the village. The motion propose exploring alternative solutions that are both aesthetically pleasing and effective for safety purposes.
Could the Chief Executive provide an update on the progress of the permanent school build on the lands of SDZ Clonburris (Griffeen CC) ?

This committee requests that the Chief Executive provide an explanation as to why the council has not engaged with the relevant stakeholders, including the Department of Education and Bus Éireann, to explore the introduction of a school bus service in the Lucan area, particularly in light of motions raised in previous years.
With the continued growth in both traffic volume and the school-going population, the need for such a service has become increasingly critical. The existing public transport infrastructure in Lucan is facing significant challenges, including overcrowded buses and many students unable to secure seats, resulting in higher traffic congestion and safety concerns for schoolchildren.
Given the council's role as a Roads Authority, it is imperative to consider how a dedicated school bus service could relieve pressure on local traffic and enhance road safety. The motion calls on the Chief Executive to liaise with the appropriate national bodies and actively explore the feasibility of introducing a school bus service in Lucan to improve traffic management and provide a safe, efficient transportation option for students.
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the road surface and footpath repairs in the Adamstown area, specifically around the Castlegate area.
To ask the Chief Executive what formal commercial arrangements/licences are in place with car sharing companies and their access to parking in car parks across South County Dublin.
To ask the Chief Executive to provide an update on the status of the Esker Initiative project. This was a well-planned project aimed at providing much-needed community amenities and fostering collaboration between community groups.
This Council calls for increased inspections for cars illegal parked and breaches of road safety in the vicinity of schools in local residential areas at drop off and pick up times throughout the county.

To ask the Chief Executive to replace the broken bike stands at Griffeen Park (Newcastle Road) and to consider installing new stands specifically designed for young people and teenagers. There are several examples of such stands that have been installed nationally, which could serve as a reference for this improvement.
To ask the Chief Executive to confirm if the entrance/gate at Griffeen Park (Newcastle Road) is being opened early enough in the morning to allow the car park to be used for school parking by the nearby schools, as agreed in a previous meeting following the passing of my motion.
That this Committee writes to the NTA seeking a stand-alone, face to face meeting with elected representatives to provide meaningful engagement and outline concrete action plans on the many local and regional concerns raised by the 'Bus Correct' survey of over 2,200 bus users (https://www.paulgogarty.com/post/bus-results), including multiple 'no shows', numerous full buses, the abolition of direct routes to the city centre in areas with high levels of bus pass users, and the lack of permission for bus companies to provide an 'auxiliary' buses to supplement areas when demand is high and people are left waiting at bus stops for protracted periods.
To ask the Chief Executive to ensure that the Economic Development Directorate, and the Heritage Team, engage with the Society for Old Lucan and the National Monuments Service with regard to the identification and cataloguing of archaeological artefacts on the grounds of Lucan House.
