"This Area Committee commends the efforts of numerous stakeholders, the Council and residents who are actively tackling levels of antisocial behaviour and illegal dumping in MacUilliliam estate. However, to effectively address these issues, we call upon the Manager to work across all departments and develop more comprehensive strategies. By working together, to implement additional measures to ensure a safer and cleaner environment for all residents in the estate?"
"This Area Committee calls on the Manager to install netting in Kiltalown Park alongside the N81 to deter rock throwing from the park side?"
A number of signs in the area appear to have inaccurate translations in Irish e.g. Hermitage estate has differing translations on a number of road signs throughout the estate (either díthreabh which is the correct translation or Eirmeatáiste which is an Anglicisation of the name, and used in Lucan Hermitage) and Whitechurch has Séipéal Bán (which means Whitechapel) rather than An Teampall Geal on the stone at the entrance of the estate. Can I clarify how translations are decided and who would be responsible for recitfying these issues please?
I would like to request an update on progress of works at Kiltipper Park and confirmation that both GAA and soccer pitches as well as the playground are nearing completion.
The playground in Whitechurch has been a huge asset for the area. It is my understanding that at the time of development, a relatively small area was identified as a trial to ensure it did not attract anti-social behaviour etc. and could be easily well maintained. As the area has not experienced any negative outcomes from the introduction of the playground, I would like to request review and expansion of the equipment available and size of area being utilised for recreation to further enhance the existing amenity.
Would like to seek an update on the progress of the Ballycullen - Oldcourt Local Area Plan; were objectives achieved, what works are outstanding and is there a strategy or plan in place to address these deficits going forward?
"This Area Committee calls on the Manager to urgently investigate the dangerous traffic situation around Tallaght schools during drop-off and pick-up times and develop a plan to mitigate the danger to children and parents?"

This committee requests that the Chief Executive (CE) provide a report on the current status of the casual volleyball feature placed in Griffeen. The report should assess the usage, condition, and effectiveness of the feature. Additionally, the committee seeks to explore the possibility of progressing this amenity further by developing a plan to install an adequate playing surface to support volleyball and enhance recreational opportunities in the area.
That the Chief Executive provides a timeline for the works to upgrade the community building on Manor Road, Palmerstown; and if a statement can be made on the matter.

This committee calls on the Chief Executive to once again request that the relevant departments connected to the Minister's office regarding the modular homes in Lucan (Backweston) meet with this committee, as previously requested in a motion passed by this committee.
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on estates completed but not yet taken in charge in this area committee area and the estimated timescale for completion of these?
This motion requests that management provide a report on any plans to upgrade the footbridge over the Adamstown Link Road. The current lighting is inadequate, and the bridge has not been properly maintained. Additionally, there are no litter bins to address ongoing issues with dog litter. As the bridge is frequently used by locals for walking and running, improvements are necessary to ensure it meets the needs of the community.

This motion requests that the Department of Education examine the introduction of a specialised school in the Lucan area, similar to St. Rose's in Tallaght, as part of the new schools being developed in Adamstown or Clonburris. Given the projected population growth in Lucan and the challenges parents face in accessing schools on the other side of the county, such a facility would serve the needs of local children with literacy difficulties. The growing population in South Dublin County Council would warrant this consideration.
To ask the Manager to clarify what Council supports, such as outreach, are available to members of the Public who are living rough on public land.
