5. Motion 1-"Tallaght Area Committee, in solidarity with patients and staff, and recognizing the fact that Tallaght University Hospital took just under €1.6 million euro in parking fees in 2024, calls on the Minister for Health to increase the Core Funding to TUH in the Budget 2026 to allow these exorbitant parking charges to be scrapped and to stop people being penalized for being ill or carrying out their vital work?"
6. Motion 2 "This Area Committee calls on the Manager to upgrade the public area known as the Belgard Walkway, This route is used by pedestrians travelling from the Square. Parthalan Place and from the LUAS terminus. The area behind the Civic on both sides of the road is dark and overgrown, there are uninviting metal barriers and ugly bottle banks beside the start of the route the lights on the Walkway need repairs and the trees need pruning. This is a natural route for people accessing the Belgard Road and its environs and it should be a safe and well lit area for those we are encouraging to use public transport."
7. Motion 3-"That this Area Committee calls on the Manager, in an effort to prevent bonfires, to ensure addition resources are available to the Enforcement Section before Halloween, to ensure businesses and private citizens are storing securely, all bonfire materials, particularly in the Industrial Estates of Cookstown, Broomhill, Hibernian and Greenhills Industrial Estates, and to provide a dedicated phone number to enable members of the Public to report stockpiles, in a timely manner?"
