That this Committee requests that the Chief Executive facilitate the scheduling of a meeting of the Liffey Valley Special Amenity Area Order (LVSAAO) Monitoring Committee as soon as possible noting that it has now been over a year since the last meeting was held in January 2025 and that no meetings took place during the previous council term. Given the importance of this Monitoring Committee and the purpose for which it was originally established to oversee and protect the Liffey Valley Special Amenity Area it is essential that the Committee meets regularly to ensure appropriate oversight and engagement between the relevant local authorities. While it is acknowledged that discussions are ongoing regarding the realignment of membership between South Dublin County Council and Fingal County Council this issue should not impede the Committee from meeting in the interim given the importance of the matters it was established to monitor. The report should therefore also outline the next steps and timeline for reconvening the Committee so that the work of the Monitoring Committee can resume without further delay.
That this Committee noting that the Adamstown Community Centre was originally designed to allow for a future extension requests that the Chief Executive provide an update on the potential expansion of the building to accommodate the growing demand for community space in the area.

To ask the Chief Executive whether the Community Section has experience of indoor community facilities being used for dog training sessions, either within the county or in other local authority areas.

That this Council writes to Waterways Ireland regarding a number of boats that appear to be abandoned along the Grand Canal between the 12th Lock and the Hazelhatch Bridge heading towards Kildare. Since the opening of the 12th Lock greenway and canal walkway the area has seen a significant increase in users including cyclists, walkers, runners, families and children. While this investment has created a very positive recreational amenity it has been noted that several boats along this stretch appear to have been left unattended for some time. Unlike abandoned vehicles on roads which can be removed under the Litter Warden Act there does not appear to be a clear public process for dealing with abandoned boats. Accordingly, the Council should request that Waterways Ireland outline the current procedure for identifying and removing abandoned boats and confirm whether there are any plans to address the boats currently located along this section of the canal in order to protect the visual amenity of this well-used recreational route. In addition, given the significant increase in public use of this section of the canal since the walkway opened the Council should also ask whether Waterways Ireland has carried out a recent audit of the lifebuoys along this stretch and whether additional lifebuoys are planned as it appears more may now be required for safety purposes.
