The Street Library would include weather proof cabinet full of books, a seating area with a canvas weather cover, to enhance the enjoyment of Park users?"

Agenda item :  Motion 2- Councillor T. Costello- "To ask SDCC to reconsider purchasing the Ulster Bank in the Tallaghts Village, I don't think we have enough amenities and I think this empty building in a prime location would make a great facility for our growing community?"

Agenda item :  Motion 3- Councillor L. Whelan- "To ask the management if there are plans for the use of murals and local artists work on the grey walls of the Tallaght stadium? Similar has been done in other football club grounds, such as Phibsborough (see picture attached). Not only does this brighten up the area, it gives opportunity for local artists to work in collaboration with the council and the club?"

Agenda item :  Motion 4- Councillor T. Costello- "Given the ongoing issues experienced in the Tallaght Area with increasing numbers of out of order public lighting and the longstanding delays on getting issue's resolved can a resolution be found for this as in some locations the lack of light is causing huge issues?"

Agenda item :  Motion 5- Councillor V. Mulhall- "That this area committee agrees to ask the manager to prepare a report into safety concerns coming from residents in Springfield; in relation to the Centra store getting deliveries from 45-55ft articulated vehicles serving a residential area bringing safety and noise ordinance compliance into question?"

Agenda item :  Motion 6- Councillor T. Costello- "Following on from a public meeting in August regarding the road works on firehouse road west a request not to narrow the entrance to Dale park was a request made by the community This was SDCC's response 1. Retain a wide entry/exit at the junction from Dalepark Road onto Firhouse Road West and to formalise a left and right turn on Dalepark Road through the use of on-road lining. 2. Extend the yellow box on Firhouse Road West at the junction with Dalepark Road to allow more vehicles exit onto Firhouse Road West at peak times. As part of this the Council will continue to monitor the junction and will assess if there are benefits in making this a signalised junction, however, this could further impact on traffic on Firhouse Road West. I have attached a photo of how it looks now and I would request that given the havoc that this has caused for road users it be reversed back to its original format?"
