MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"This committee resolves that the council would support the work of the Friends of the Camac group.  This group is being supported by the Waters and Communities organisation and hopes to improve the Camac River in Clondalkin in a number of ways.  One of their projects is the cleaning up of the mill ponds in Clondalkin Park with the erection of proper fencing to allow for better viewing of this very rich eco system.  Could a report be prepared in relation to how the various departments in the council might assist this group. "
