Minutes of Meeting held on 11th February 2022
That the Chief Executive examines measures to prevent dangerous parking at the entrance off Main Street Lucan into Gandon Mews (red area on map), as enforcement does not seem to be working at this location; to clarify whether the area covered under its traffic management and parking remit extends into Gandon Mews and Gandon Court (yellow area on map), or whether this would be an operational matter for the management company concerned; and if a statement can be made on the matter.
To compliment management for the recently installed traffic calming buttons on Kennelsfort Road upper which I requested some time back, and if another set an be installed opposite the two takeaways (on the brow of the Hill) as traffic accelerate at this point with consequent hazard for traffic exiting Palmerstown Court and Oak Court Estate.
Firhouse, Ballycullen and Oldcourt residents report an increase in littering locally since the pandemic, particularly in the vicinity of the shopping centre and the schools. Could management ensure that extra litter picking takes place and outline what if any additional enforcement and public awareness measures might be taken.

That this committee requests a report that looks at the average waiting time for individuals and families on the SDCC social housing list in the Lucan, Palmerstown North Clondalkin LEAs who are in need of either a 4,3,2,1 bed housing units over the last 3 years, and what the prospects are for these people, given the current and projected building programme in these LEAs.
To ask the Chief Executive to provide an updated report on planned works in regards to road works and capital programmes for lucan area. To also include stats on previously raised question on how many times the Newcastle road has been repaired/resurface (road only) in last 5 years in comparison to the R136.
To ask the CE for an update in regard to the examination of the recently built road at Dodsboro /Lucan United club and what examinations have been carried out to designing a new road with connections to Tubber lane.
To ask the CE for a Housing AHB meeting further to a recent presentation at area committee a commitment was given to explore the possibilities of meeting with the relevant approved housing bodies. The committee asks CE for an update on this.
Motion Ice Rink Community This committee requests that the Chief Executive considers the following proposal made by residents of lucan to bring an ice rink to the area. This would be an asset to the county, all the information below provides additional reasons for this proposal. I'm new to the Adamstown area and have purchased my first home here. I wanted to reach out to you about one topic that is close to my heart and that's ice skating, or specifically an Ice Rink. I notice there are no permanent ice rinks at all in the Republic of Ireland, with the last one closing in Dundalk in 2011. There were plans as recently as 2016 to construct an ice arena as part of Phase 2 of the Liffey Valley development but this was removed from the plan due to the concerns raised by the council on car parking. Are there plans, or would there be a willingness by the council to entertain such a development in the region? I can see the IIHA (Irish Ice Hockey Association) are raising seed capital and have interest from German investors to construct such a facility but are having issues securing a site. I think an ice arena to the South Dublin area would be a massive development opportunity. For the area to have the only ice rink in the Republic of Ireland would really highlight the livability and opportunity in the region and only increase the attractiveness of the area to newcomers like myself. If you know anything on this matter on the council level I would love to hear about it or indeed if there was an opportunity to bring it up at a council meeting in the future I would be most appreciative.
The planning application for a new build for Griffeen community college has been granted. This news was welcomed by all in the community. This committee asks that the CE examines the planned exits and entrances for the new school. The committee requests that management provides a plan to designing new entrances/exits at Adamstown link road, for many reasons including addressing the congested traffic along Griffeen Avenue.
That this committee requests the Chief Executive to carry out a study of wildlife on the lands adjacent to Griffeen road/R136 (current educate together school/planned community school) with a view to incorporating a biodiversity plan for the area.
To ask the Chief Executive for a progress report on the designation of a single point of contact for Tidy Towns groups in the Lucan, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin area.
To ask the Chief Executive about the ownership of the car park at Shancastle shops, and consequently where responsibility for maintaining and cleaning the car park lies.
