That the Chief Executive considers installing a public noticeboard/public digital noticeboard on the main street of each of our historic villages, and also in the principal shopping areas where population growth has occurred outside of the historic villages. The purpose of these noticeboards would be to draw the attention of the public to pending public consultations, details of Council and local services, and important public events.”
That South Dublin County Council recognises and supports the formal establishment of a Women's Caucus for elected members of this Council.
I am calling upon South Dublin County Council to consider and prioritise the installation of these traffic safety dividers when installing bicycle tracks. Dublin City Council and DLR have successfully implemented these barriers to ensure extra safety of cyclists and school children when travelling to school whilst travelling alongside motor vehicles. I think we can massively increase the usage of these tracks by school aged children and workers giving both of them and parents peace of mind that the tracks are safely and physically separated from the traffic. I have attached photos showing these in action in DCC.
That the Chief Executive will engage in a feasibility study to look into the provision of an eco-graveyard to be established within the County. There is significant demand for not only a non-religious graveyard but also a natural burial ground that would act to develop native Woodland and wildflower meadows.
That steps will be taken to record old stone walls in the County, particularly old stone walls that feature in our villages are part of the landscape of villages, and to have a plan in relation to the preservation of old stone walls in the county.
That this council agrees that in response to the trading restrictions imposed by government, that holders of casual street-traders licence should be offered reduced fees of 50% or more for the coming year. This motion takes cognisance of the fact that Dublin City council have already agreed to such a measure and this motion is also considered, in light of, the council's response to question 6 at Council meeting Jan11th 2021. Also, that such measures remain in place whilst trading restrictions are imposed by government and that the council seek a similar response from government on behalf of licence holders as those business that have been compensated by way of rates waiver.
"That the Chief Executive give an update of the road works and the state the roads will be left in after works... specifically Nangor Road, Neilstown Bridge, Fonthill Road, Monastery and Woodford roundabout."
To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the works needed to complete the wall ball at Griffeen Park Newcastle road. This amenity is very popular and the basketball nets are been well used, as previously advised the wall ball use is restricted by the basketball net. If there are diagrams / pictures available to accompany this report it would be appreciated as it's difficult to explain to the public what still needs to be done.
This committee discussed a motion on ROW at St Edmundsbury landsin a previous meeting and it was agreed to look into the process in implementing ROW passage. To ask Chief Executive to provide the members with the details of this process.
This committee requests that the Chief Executive examines the area along the boundary of Fforester / ORR R136 as mapped out in the photos attached, the request is asking that the council place a more effective protection structure along this gap, for the reasons outlined below. Please see attached area of railings requested to be covered with thick shrubbery
The area in Fforster Green with exposed railings in front of 8 houses is not a large area, which has not been afforded coverage despite the fact that parts of the road of r136 is protected either with shrubbery or other types of boundary protection.
The area next to Fforster green has mature trees protecting their houses.
As can be seen from images attached it is completely exposed, it is quite a small area to be covered and it is something the council have done for other estates beside us.
"Could the Chief Executive please inform this Committee about the number of Central Heating Boiler call outs received since January 4th and could he also explain why Tenants, especially Senior Citizens, are being left up to four days waiting for an Engineer to repair faulty boilers, when daily temperatures are almost at freezing at the moment."
"Can management look at the road markings approaching the Glenview/ N81 roundabout from the Main Road side? Current road markings are unclear. Better direction is needed on which lane to use while approaching Avonmore and Seskin View Rds. Vehicles turning right and entering the roundabout in the right hand lane are essentially forced to cross a continuous white line and one or two lanes of traffic to turn right at Avonmore. Continuity of the arrows or location markings painted in the lanes approaching the roundabout would help."
"This Area Committee recognises the societal need for social care workers and others whose training and essential skills are being delayed by ( necessary) Covid restrictions at a time when they are drastically needed in our communities. We call on the Minister For Education, and Minister for Furter Education to move to " on the job' training or to reduce the necessary placement hours which will remove any delays caused by the need for voluntary placement hours in order to advance through their course or move into the workforce as quickly and efficiently as possible."

"Regarding the Members rep below: Management have agreed by e mail to prune and cut back trees as necessary. Residents are grateful for this commitment. Can the other issues raised in the Members rep be addressed? Would the area be suitable for pollination programme or some form of low maintenance planting? Please update.
Query:1593537 Hi, Residents at Glenview Park Tallaght have contacted the Council regarding trees and overgrowth at the rear of the houses. Residents are requesting that trees are inspected and where necessary, cut back. I have included pictures of branches that have recently come off trees , hitting windows during recent high winds. The area to the rear of the houses is overgrown including ivy that is growing up and over walls at the rear of the houses. This attracts rats and several sightings have been reported. Residents have taken to cutting back ivy but it inevitably regrows and is not manageable for people. The area, along the rear of the houses is badly in need of tidying, It may benefit from some planting, even seed bombing and could provide a nice visual amenity in one of the green spaces in the estate. See attached images for explanation. Can the Council confirm that they have received and will respond to residents concerns? Can the Council update as to what actions they can take and what the timeframe is for any work?"
"Can the Chief Executive please update on the plans to provide a Community Centre in the City West area?"
"This Council requests that the schedule of events for the new Tymon Library include the Patrick O' Connell Memorial Exhibition. The exhibition, established by local man Fergus Dowd from Glenview Park Tallaght, has received international attention and is a riveting history of the space where sport and politics meet. The Libraries Dept. might also consider it a suitable presentation for online events where Covid restrictions may limit physical accessibility to our libraries."
"In view of the large amount of Garda resources, three cars and two vans, required to disperse a crowd of over 70 young people, this weekend, who congregate on the Arena Road on Friday and Saturday nights, every weekend, Would the Manager arrange to close the main and pedestrian gates at the entrance to the Area Road, for the duration of the Level 5 restrictions in an effort to prevent this type of repeated anti social activity."
