"That this Area Committee calls for any outline plans or ideas that exist for the Water Tower site on the Monastery Road in Clondalkin to be presented to the LEA. For information it is this Councillor's opinion that a feasibility study should be carried out into the placing of a viewing platform on top of the Water Tower. With its 12 concrete pillars the Water Tower has been 'over engineered' and should be able to take the weight of a viewing platform. It is also this Councillor's opinion that Round Towers GAA Club should be allowed to paint a mural on the side of the Water Tower."

"That this Area Committee calls on the National Transport Authority to establish a bus link from the villages of Rathcoole and Newcastle, Co Dublin to the train station at Hazelhatch. Although the train station is relatively close by road to Newcastle, the road is considered far too dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians to use regularly for commuting. There is no footpath for the most of the Hazelhatch Road. The route has been included in the Bus Connects plans with the W8 bus but this may be years away."

"That this Area Committee agrees to the installation of a soccer goalpost on the Green of Lealand Estate. Members Rep 1518460 stated that a goalpost would be installed on the green of the estate during Q1/Q2 of 2020. Members Rep Query 1557709 submitted on 21/7 as a follow up request has not been replied to. The residents association appreciate that COVID has delayed many things but are wondering if this could be expedited so as to allow the footballers of the estate enjoy it for some part of the summer/autumn."
During the massive struggle that has been waged by ex- Debenhams workers across the companies 11 stores in Ireland the deficit of workers protection in liquidations has again been sharply exposed. This Council calls for the immediate implementation of the Duffy/Cahill Report, complied in 2016 in the aftermath of The Clerys dispute- as one way of strengthening workers rights and tackling the legal outs provided to major corporations who engage in tactical liquidations in order to avoid their obligations under hard won workers’ rights. If passed this Council communicates such in writing to Government, to all Local Authorities and to the ICTU offering its support for implementation.

"That this Area Committee agrees to provide Clondalkin Drama Group with a place to put a Storage Container, and if possible also a Storage Container itself. Following the granting by South Dublin County Council of Planning Permission for the Nursing home on the grounds of the Presentation Convent, the Drama Group have been forced to vacate the storage space they have had three for decades and so are in need of a new storage space. Given that SDCC provides extensive supports to Sports Clubs support should be extended to arts and culture clubs too."
