"To ask the Chief Executive to consider an online Art Competition run with Libraries and the St Brigid's Festival Committee to promote the legend of St Brigid in time for St Brigid's Day on 1st February 2021 and to issue a report into same?"

• Q 9

Given the ongoing Garda investigation into alleged wrongdoings at the Ashton Dog Pound, can the Chief Executive please advise how this matter is being handled by SDCC? Are there any provisions contained within the existing contract that relates to improper practices and what would occur if something were to come to light or be referred to the Gardaí for further investigation? I understand the contract for dog pound services for SDCC will be up for tender again at the end of this year. It would appear that Ashton Dog Pound is the only provider to tender for this contract, which also includes the other Dublin Local Authorities. Does SDCC intend to continue to contract with Ashton Dog Pound given these circumstances? If the Garda investigation is still underway of if the case is taken further by the time the contract falls due for tender, can the Chief Executive advise as to what SDCC will do to ensure service is continued? Can the Chief Executive advise whether SDCC has been in contact with the other Dublin Local Authorities to discuss this concerning development? Is the Chief Executive aware that Dublin City Council is conducting its own investigation into the facility? Would the Chief Executive agree that it would be worthwhile to carry out a similar investigation by SDCC? Has the Chief Executive considered my suggestion to talk with the other Dublin Local Authorities and look to seek funding to set up a public dog pound for the Dublin area, one that aims to put animal welfare at the heart of all its work?

"To ask the Chief Executive - can South Dublin County Council confirm ownership of the lands adjacent to the M50 interchange which has been the subject of bonfires in Kilnamanagh as TII have formally said they don't own this land. Can this land be used for the football club and fencing moved from the road boundary to the field boundary?"

This Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to have the hedges trimmed surrounding the Brookview Estate on the Fortunestown Road & Brookfield Road as a matter of urgency. Additionally, for the edges of the grass to be filled with soil for the purpose of leveling it to the path as it has now become a health & safety issue for many of the residents with disabilities in the area. As well as those using the route to travel to & from School/Work.

That this Area Committee calls on the properties provided to Saoirse Women's & Children Refuge to be immediately prioritised by South Dublin County Council for refurbishment and a timeline to be provided at this area meeting?
