It has been put to me that the inundation ongoing on the site of the new HSE Primary Healthcare Centre on the Boot Road in Clondalkin (SD11A/0135) is a chance to reinstate the St Brigid´s Well which has not been a functioning well since the Fonthill Road was built. As such this Area Committee agrees to the reinstatement of well water at St Brigid's Well on the Boot Road in Clondalkin. This issue has previously been referred to in QUESTION NO. 10 from the January 2020 meeting of Clondalkin ACM and in Members Reps. ID: 1710614.

Report from Joint SPC Sub-committee for Biodiversity
That this Area Committee put a temporary moratorium on the planning application for high-density type accommodation in locations of Aviation Significance (dark grey area on the map) given the significant interventions by the Dept. of Defence in relation to the New Development plan, copy attached, and the intention to increase the level and type of military aviation activity in and around Casement Aerodrome. It would be my recommendation that a specific guidance document in relation to developments with the areas of Significant aviation Risk be developed to guide planners in relation to what is permitted with specific attention being given to developments directly beneath the take-off surface as this is the area of highest risk from an aircraft crash perspective.
