That this committee considers installing pedestrian lights at the new pedestrian footbridge on Ballyboden Road thereby connecting Willowbank directly to both sides of Ballyboden Road. The closest pedestrian lights are some distance away.

To ask the Chief Executive what measures are in place to catch up with delays in maintenance and repairs to roadways and footpaths throughout the area, as a result of Covid 19 or otherwise, and to identify what criteria shall be used to prioritise same
That long awaited and urgently required footpath repairs are carried out at Orchardstown Park in Rathfarnham. The footpaths have deteriorated significantly, are badly in need of repair and at this stage constitute a dangerous trip hazard for residents in the area, particularly elderly residents.
That the Chief Executive confirms that long awaited works at the entrance to the Rathfarnham Wood Estate be carried out without further delay and furnishes a time frame in respect of same. The area is very unsightly at the moment, as per attached photographs
To ask the Chief Executive to outline where wildflower meadows are currently located across the county, how many hectares they cover, what increase there is on previous years and what plans there are to increase coverage.
To ask the Chief Executive to outline the number of applications received for rent supplement for each month from the 1st of March 2020 to 1st of October 2020 and to compare with numbers from the same time period in 2019 and would he care to make a statement on the matter.
To ask the Chief Executive to confirm who has responsibility for the roads underneath the underpass system at the M50/Spawell? I was advised on a weekend that this was managed by the TII, with M50 Concession holding the contract. I contacted the out of hours service of the Council on a Sunday to report a huge amount of broken glass under one of the underpass pedestrian bridges, just before the path way that leads to the kissing gate at the Dodder Weir. I was informed it wasn't under the remit of SDCC nor was it clear on who to contact. M50 Concession did not appear to have an out of hours number that I could find. Who is responsible? Do they carry out work at weekends? Who is responsible if there were an accident? Who ensures that reports are looked after? I don't think this situation is at all satisfactory and would ask the Chief Executive to please consider at least ensuring that reports are passed on to the appropriate body to be handled. Another caller might not have bothered to keep trying to find who to call.
In light of the passing of my motion: That this Council ensures that all future contracts entered into with private contractors to carry out works on behalf of this local authority, will ensure that a clause will be included that states that glyphosate based products can no longer be used by them or the Local Authority, in relation to any work that is carried out on our behalf. Can the Chief Executive please outline how this will be implemented and timelines for that.

'Acknowledging the incredible work done in challenging circumstances by frontline drugs task forces both before and during the pandemic, that the Chief Executive write to Minister Frank Feighan asking him to ensure that funding on a sustainable, ongoing basis for frontline drugs task-forces is included in the upcoming budget.'
To ask the Chief Executive to give specific details as to how our South Dublin libraries will benefit from the €3million fund announced at the end of September for library upgrades. The announcement stated that there would be a pot of €4.1m and that the funding would be used to help provide safe meeting spaces, study pods and other upgrades to be carried out. I have been contacted by countless third level students as well as students and parents of students in post-primary, who are very anxious to ensure that they can access study rooms in their local libraries. Can the Chief Executive also make a statement in relation to the funding matching criteria imposed upon Local Authorities that forms part of the conditions of this funding.
