That this Area Committee agrees to the reinstatement of the holy well at St Brigid's Well on the Boot Road in Clondalkin by installing a solar powered electric pump at the well site that could pump a water source located underground to a small reservoir that could in turn feed the well. The current arrangement with mains water is often stagnant.
To ask how long it takes the Council to process an application for a Housing Adaptation Grant and what measures are in place to expedite urgent cases
That the Council considers retaining the area adjacent to the Spawell Bridge which is being used as a compound for the contractors working on the Dodder Greenway, with a view to utilising it as an overflow car park for users of the pitches and facilities at Cherryfield - as the Council is aware, significant on-road parking occurs on Firhouse Road in the vicinity of Ballyboden St. Enda's Club during very popular match days, leading to serious spill over into adjacent estates. Retaining the compound would make a lot of practical sense.
To ask the Chief Executive to undertake an examination of the extent to which the Council is currently involved in supporting childcare within the South Dublin County Council area, with a view to seeing if this support can be enhanced. This would include an audit of childcare services in its own properties, including Council owned community, youth and leisure centres. (Details of a similar examination being carried out by another local authority is attached)

To ask South Dublin County Council to develop a protocol whereby Councillors can make representations on behalf of constituents to Approved Housing Bodies to ensure that AHB's will have a pathway to communicate with Councillors when they contact them on behalf of their constituents. Given the growing number of tenancies in the County which are being managed by AHBs this protocol will ensure that tenants get the necessary support and level of representation which they are entitled to.
This Council calls on the government to launch an enquire into declarations of TD's and elected representatives and the owing of property's to rent and their declaration's of conflict of interest in discussions and votes on matters regarding housing and the rental sector and to issue a report.

That this council declares that private airplanes used for leisure or commerce are wasteful and inconsistent with our climate goals, and demands that none are given permission to fly in Irish air space. On passing the motion a letter issues to Minister of Defense and Minister of Transport.
