That this area committee agrees to write to the Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien to express our anger and disappointment with the decision to delay the Dart+ SouthWest programme for 4 years until 2030. The Dart+ is essential for both existing communities in Clondalkin and Lucan as well as for new communities in Adamstown and Clonburris, where new housing developments were given planning permission on the basis of the planned roll-out of Dart+ Southwest in the area.

That this Committee notes that the Trust Agreement for the clubhouse at Griffeen Valley Park remains outstanding and requires finalisation by the three clubs involved.
Accordingly this Committee requests that the Chief Executive provide
(a) a clear update on the current status of the Trust Agreement
(b) a detailed outline of the steps required from the clubs to bring it to conclusion and
(c) the process that will immediately follow its submission including the preparation and progression of a new licence agreement.
 
This Committee also wishes to indicate its strong view that once the governance pathway is complete the future upgrade of the clubhouse must be prioritised as part of the Council’s planning for forthcoming capital programmes

That this Committee requests that the Chief Executive provide details of the planned building and upgrade works referenced in the recent reply regarding the Teen Space at Griffeen Valley Park including timelines, scope and further requests that the proposed coffee dock be delivered in tandem with these works rather than deferred until a higher footfall is achieve noting that increased footfall will arise from the delivery of such amenities rather than from delay. Additionally, that the Chief Executive outline the plans for the surface area between the two recently installed yellow goalposts at the Teen Space and confirm whether this area will be resurfaced to make it suitable for ball sports and recreational play.

A general breakdown of the household composition (e.g. single occupants, couples, families with children) for those houses allocated during that period.

That this Committee calls on the Chief Executive to urgently address the condition of the footpaths in the Castlegate area of Adamstown which have been acknowledged by Council engineers as being in need of major repair. While it has been stated that the full rectification of these footpaths would consume the entire county-wide footpath repair budget this situation is not acceptable given that Castlegate represents the main entrance and gateway into the Adamstown Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) one of the first of its kind in the country. This Committee therefore requests that additional funding be sought outside of the standard footpath repair budget including through capital works or other available sources to allow a full and proper upgrade of the footpaths in this area. The current condition poses a serious risk to pedestrians and undermines efforts to promote walking and cycling within Adamstown. It is essential that this issue now be prioritised and progressed as a standalone project, rather than deferred indefinitely due to budget constraints.

That this Committee requests that the Chief Executive consider the development of a public-facing online dashboard to provide regular updates on major projects and works underway in the Lucan area including transport, parks, housing and community infrastructure schemes. Given the volume of projects currently in progress and planned for Lucan a clear and accessible dashboard would greatly improve transparency, communication and public understanding of timelines and progress. Such a model could be piloted in the Lucan area and if successful, extended countywide as part of the Council's Digital Transformation and Customer Service objectives.
