That this council requests that playgrounds across the county include sensory structures as well as planting (and/or other materials) which can act as 'chill out' zones for children with additional needs. Planting could include fragrant/sensory plants, pollinator friendly plants and edible plants. This could be a fantastic way to make our play grounds even more inclusive and accessible.

To ask the Chief Executive if part of our footpath repair/improvement programmes has a section that allows for wheelchair friendly footpath improvements to be considered separate to our footpath repair programme. The recent 'MakeWayDay' campaign helps highlights challenges many challenges and requests to repair paths for wheelchair users are constantly raise with the department. If the Chief Executive could confirm if we have/could have a separate footpath programme alongside the existing one.
A key part of the Council’s Budgetary strategy for 2022 should be to ensure local communities benefit significantly from the presence of multinational corporations based in the South Dublin County Council area. Corporations such as Amazon, Pfizer and Microsoft have seen already massive profits increase during the pandemic, and profit significantly from the exploitation of tax policy, the environment and local labour. The crisis facing the council on the housing, environmental and community services front are increasing. The council should include the following two measures in its Budget Strategy for 2022:
1) A significant increase in Rates
2) A waiver, rebate or small business support scheme that protects all rates payers below the €100,001- €500,000 Annual Rates Billing Band from any increase.
Based on recent official SDCC figures 156 companies (2.3% of all rate payers) would be affected by such an increase in rates.
To ask the Chief Executive for the number of Housing Adaptation Grants applications made this year, average processing time, and comparisons with previous years.
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the number of businesses in South Dublin, broken down by LEA, that received COVID-19 grant funding, including the outdoor dining grant, from the Council since January 2021.
It is my understanding that in September 2019 South Dublin Football League (SDFL) merged into Dublin District Schoolboy League and ceased to be an organisation. However the SDFL Committee are still in existence and Ballyowen, Lucan is still its head quarters. Rooms and pitches are still been rented out as SDFL. This was originally leased to the SDFL by SDCC on a not for profit basis but information I have received that SDFL are charging local clubs and groups high commercial rates to use the facility. Can the Council provide clarity if this practice is in conflict with the terms of the lease and how best the facility can benefit the surrounding community
