Conflicts of Interest & Loyalty.
'That this Area Committee calls on the Manager to give a commitment that following on from my previous requests and the request from St Aongus residents, following a recent meeting, that Cherry Blossom or Apple Blossom trees will be planted around the perimeter of St Aongus Green and along the sides of the paths that intersect the Green.'
Given the long queues of traffic, particularly in the afternoon and evening, on the Main Road Tallaght, heading in the direction of the new Greenhills Road intersection, could the Manager indicate if a review could be carried out to determine if an alternative traffic management system could be devised to separate traffic heading straight on to the Village or turning left towards the N81, from the traffic seeking to turn right onto the Greenhills Road.
''The €10,000 discretionary Area Committee Fund for the Tallaght Area Committee has yet to be allocated to any project or group. The Council have yet to provide any clear logic as to why it can be allocated for "Reflection Benches" which already receive funding through other sources, but cannot be allocated to other uses that Councillors have proposed as part of the process. This Area Committee, recognising the pandemic of gender based violence, votes to have the €10,000 allocated equally between established, official Women's Refuge services in the Tallaght Area as a small contribution in assisting with their work. We also extend the invitation to local service providers to meet the Tallaght Area Committee to discuss their work and ways in which we may assist them."
'Notwithstanding the latest government 'guidelines' & understanding that South Dublin Libraries wish to further enhance the safety of the patrons and staff. This Area Committee asks the Manager to consider introducing antigen tests for those who wish to attend Library Events who have not got a covid cert as a way of not discriminating against those who may for medical or personal reasons have not been vaccinated.'
'This Area Committee calls on the Executive to install street cycle pumps along the N81 Cycle Scheme and on Avonbeg Road Cycle Scheme and Dodder Greenway on completion and any other Cycle routes that would benefit Cyclists in the Tallaght Area.'
''This Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to come up with a detailed plan to deal with the Chronic Issue of illegal dumping at the entrance to Montpelier View, Jobstown. This Area Committee also reiterates the ongoing calls for CCTV in the location, considering that without proof or witness to this illegal activity it is difficult to bring any legal action that could potentially once and for all deal with this.''
'To ask the Manager what is the current average waiting time for a 1 bed, 2 bed, 3 bed and 4 bed in the Tallaght area, can this be broken down into the current wait time for both the Tallaght South & Tallaght Central Area?'
'To ask the Manager will broken heating systems be prioritized over the Xmas period both for opening hours & out of hours & how long should a tenant have to wait over this period for a call to their home to have the issue rectified?'
The Brookview Women's group is in existence for 25 years and age in range from 55 to 86. The women's group has been using the Brookview Estate Management office for over 20 years but due to Covid they had to stop meeting. The women's group is just one of the many groups that utilised the building over the years. The objectives of the South Dublin Age Friendly County Programme are to: Improve the health and well-being of older people in the County. Increase participation in the social, economic, and cultural life of the community and to ensure ongoing progress to enhance the quality of life of older people in South Dublin and make our County a place where older people and their participation is highly valued. Therefore, this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to abandon the decision to close the Brookview Estate Management Building office particularly during this time when it is even more important to support groups who would be otherwise socially isolated.
'To ask, if Árd Mór community centre is considered under the review of community centres. We feel that the current Árd Mór centre should be utilised, and opened as soon as possible with designated youth workers and an outreach element for Árd Mór, and the wider community, such as McUilliam - which is without any community centre facilities?'
To ask the Chief Executive outline whether any fines have successfully been applied to developers for not handing over estates in a timely manner or successful court actions taken to ensure works are completed?
To ask the Chief Executive if a legal framework exists whereby the roads in an estate or development under a planning permission have to be handed over to a local authority within a specified time period and if so what legal mechanisms are in place to force developers or receivers to hand over estates in a timely manner?
This committee sends best wishes to all the staff, management and meetings admin for working with and assisting members over the last year, a very challenging 12 months, and wishes all a safe and healthy Christmas and Happy New Year

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the expected completion date of the electric gates at Lucan Harriers/Weston/AGP clubhouse and car park?
This committee takes the opportunity to commend all those in our community that have carried out weekly/regular clean ups, keeping our environment tidy and litter free. Many young children get involved with these clean-ups and perhaps SDCC could put together a social media post highlighting these clean ups. The post could include stats on materials given out to date. Could Chief Executive provide a report on groups signed up to these clean ups and materials supplied within the last year in the Lucan /Palmerstown/NClondalkin area
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on proposals to provide a pedestrian crossing on the Old Lucan Road for users of Stewart's Care services and in particular to outline what the Council will do to facilitate this given that there are no current proposals for a bus service along this route, as indicated by the NTA at a recent briefing, meaning that funding will not be provided through this medium.
