That this Area Committee calls on the Manager to carry out an urgent inspection of Mount Seskin Court in Killinarden as to the suitability for family living and the quality of life in any of the SDCC units held there and issue a report to this Committee. Following on from representations received from a family who were offered a property there, without having expressed an interest in the property, and upon visual inspection, they sent us photographs and videos of what can only be described as a modern day tenement. Waterlogged walkways, filthy walls, a daily view from the unit of the rear storage and waste areas of local retail units.

To ask the Chief Executive how much money has been spent this year on grass cutting v budget.
The request to have goal posts removed and have new system put in place has been requested by local soccer club (see emailed attached). The members request the CE to consider this request and advise how it can be accommodated. Reasons for this are outlined in the email. I hope you can help or guide the club with the following request please. Esker Celtic are kindly requesting the removal of the static goal posts in Willsbrook Park, Lucan, Co.Dublin along with the 40foot container. The pitch is not in usable condition particularly around the goal mouth (photos attached) and has been like this for a number of years. On many occasions before we do use it we have to clear broken glass from that area as the posts are used as a target to break bottles. The container itself is rusting and full of holes and in my opinion is beyond repair. It has become a magnet for people to use as a bathroom to relive themselves(behind it)and we have to on a weekly basis clean it up as the smell is disgusting. It is of no use to our club and has become an eyesore in such a beautiful area. We would be grateful if the Council would consider this request and replace the container with a fenced compound that would house two full size portable goal posts(which the club will provide).
This committee commends the planners to date in regards to the new parks opened/opening within the Adamstown area of Lucan. There have been queries into designing a skate park into the new parks due to be built. The members ask the CE supports the examination of introducing this amenity and advises of its possibilities
