Pedestrian Bridge at Tallaght Village to open 2nd November
The Pedestrian Bridge which has been constructed over the N81 (Tallaght Bypass) at Priors Gate is due to open on Friday, 2nd November, 2007, according to information received by local Councillor, Joe Neville (FF).
In a reply to a query from Cllr Neville, an official of South Dublin County Council's Roads (Traffic and Transportation) department outlined the key dates in the construction of the bridge, which replaced an earlier structure which proved prone to bridge strikes from high vehicles.
· Bridge structure complete by Thursday, 25th October
· Waterproofing works (Starting from Priors Gate) to commence from Wednesday, 24th October (this work is weather dependent)
· Bridge available to be open to the Public from Friday, 2nd November
· Removal of temporary bridge to commence from Monday 5th November
The construction of the brudge caused controversy when residents complained that the temporary steel replacement was inaccessible to the elderly and the disabled.

Firhouse Artist has Exhibition in County Hall
Mayor Eamonn Maloney on behalf of the members of South Dublin Council will officially launch Agespays an exhibition of paintings by Brian Duignan, in County Hall, Tallaght on Thursday 8th March at 7pm.
Brian Duignan, a young artist from Firhouse is in his final year of Fine Art and has been involved in community projects with the Mater Hospital and Firhouse Community College. He has exhibited in several Group exhibitions in Dublin as well as in La Compangie la Perriere, France.
This exhibition Agespays uses an interpretation of the landscape of Brittany France, and with titles like Port de Plaisance, Larmor Plage Triptych,Ville andVie, the French connections are very clear. The artist explores the concept of an abstract landscape by investigating the relationship of horizon lines in the landscape. This plays on the ideas of Verlou, French slang where words are cut in half and reversed, which has influenced this re-evaluation and re-invention of the landscape. This has been achieved mainly through the process of layering paint and embroidery representing line.
The exhibition runs for two weeks from 6th to the 23rd of March

Cllr Joe Neville questions Council on Tallaght items
A summary of recent items from the Joe Neville (FF) emailing list:
Pruning & Planting of Trees
South Dublin County Council will endeavour to deal with the pruning of a large bush reported at an area in Avonmore Park as part of the current Arboricultural Programme of pruning and planting which will be ongoing until March 2007.
It is planned to give particular attention to the matter of tree planting and pruning in the New Bawn / Seskin View area under the 2007/08 Arboricultural Programme. A preliminary assessment of the area has identified a number of suitable sites for tree planting. Some locations where trees have previously been removed and thus perceived as “missing” may not automatically be suitable for replanting primarily for reasons of proximity to public lighting columns or other services or the resident may not wish to have a tree planted.
A more detailed assessment of the tree planting requirement in the area will be undertaken over the coming months and a list of proposed locations for planting will be presented to the Tallaght Area Committee as part of the 2007/08 Arboricultural Programme in the autumn.
Extensive replacement tree planting was carried out on the perimeter of the open space at Westpark, Tallaght, as part of the 2005-2006 Arboricultural programme for the area.
The further removal of overgrown and damaged poplar trees and the planting of new replacement trees at Westpark, is planned for this year’s programme and will be carried out before the end of March 2007.
Dodder Valley Park
The establishment of a Slí na Sláinte route through the Dodder Valley Park is being considered in association with the Irish Heart Foundation. Proposals when available will be presented to the Tallaght Area Committee. In the meantime, plans are in progress for the establishment during 2007 of a Slí na Sláinte route through Tymon Park.
The request for additional litter bins at the entrance to Dodder ValleyPark from Old Bawn Road has been examined by the engineer in charge of the [South Dublin County Council] cleansing section. The engineer reports that it is not possible to service litter bins at this location due to traffic flows in the area and the absence of a facility to allow the servicing vehicle to pull in off the main road and away from the flow of traffic. Unfortunately it is not possible to install new litter bins at the location in question for this reason.
Regarding the removal of graffiti on the boundary walls of Dodder Valley Park, the Litter Warden has been requested to inspect the graffiti in question and to make contact with the Old Bawn Residents Association as requested regarding this matter. The Litter Warden will offer any advice and assistance possible to the Association.
Drainage problems in Raheen, Maplewood & Springfield
The Council proposes to carry out an investigation into the main foul drainage system within the Raheen/Maplewood/Springfield area as early as possible in 2007. This investigation will involve CCTV survey of the mains and inspection of manholes throughout the area to establish the existence of any faults within the network.
There are a number of problems on private combined drains in the area inrelation to broadstraps which have become faulty over time and are causing blockages and these are currently being dealt with by the Drainage Maintenance Section and the householders involved.

South Dublin County Council given least money: Labour
According to Labour Party leader, Pat Rabbitte, T.D., South Dublin County Council is allocated the least amount of money per head of population by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
According to the statement, issued on 2nd January by Mr. Rabbitte:
"Minister Roche recently announced the distribution of €868m from the Local Govt Fund to County Councils for 2007, but when you look at the spending per head of population South Dublin County Council comes bottom of the list.
"The average spend per head of population across the country is €205. However, the figure for South Dublin County Council, is just over half that at €106. Leitrim on the other hand, quite rightly, gets €536 per person.
"If any county is in need of greater investment, it is a county like South Dublin where growth rates have been so astronomical. Is it any wonder that there is such a scarcity of resources in areas like planning and enforcement; the provision of social and affordable housing; the provision of playgrounds; and the delivery of roads.
"I have long suspected South Dublin County Council has been getting the rough end the stick from Dick Roche’s Department. These figures are a clear indication that my suspicion was right. South Dublin County Council is simply not getting the money that it needs."
Figures released in the statement show the following allocations for 2007 [Click on image to enlarge]:

Millbrook Lawns Health Centre: Works begin May 2007
According to a reply received by Cllr Joe Neville (FF) to a Councillor's question, South Dublin County Council expects construction work on the Millbrook Lawns Health Centre to begin in May 2007.
The centre, which was damaged by fire in 1998, has had both planning permission and HSE funding passed. In its bulletin to Cllr Neville, the Council stated:
"Funding has been made available in the HSE National Capital Plan 2006 – 2010 for the refurbishment of Millbrook Lawns Health Centre. The plan was formally approved by the Department of Health and Children in May 2006.
"Approval was received to seek tenders for re-instatement of and improvement works at the Health Centre and tenders will be sought on 31/01/07. These improvements will reflect the modern standards that are inherent in the Primary Care Strategy that is currently being rolled out nationally by the HSE.
"Some final issues need to be agreed with the local Parish Council before work can commence. Architects for both sides are meeting to resolve these matters.
"The target construction programme for this development, subject to consideration of tenders and finalisation of all outstanding matters is as follows:
- Return of Tenders 28/02/07
- Award of tenders 21/03/07
- Commencement of work on site May ‘07
- Completion of work in 3 phases to be fully completed by 30/05/’08."

FAI to "support" Shamrock Rovers court case: Website
The Football Association of Ireland has pledged financial assistance for the Shamrock Rovers High Court case involving Tallaght GAA club Thomas Davis, according to the soccer club's website.
The Thomas Davis Club is seeking a Judicial Review of the South Dublin County Council decision last February to proceed with the completion of the Stadium in Tallaght as a football only facility.
According to the report, FAI Chief Executive, John Delaney, is quoted as saying:
“This week, the Board of the Association pledged significant funds to [Shamrock Rovers] in order to aid them in the most practical manner as they continue to pursue the goal of completion of Tallaght. These funds will be offset against the legal fees Rovers face as the High Court case continues. Obviously, we wish the club every success in this matter.”
On 14th December, the High Court determined that the hearing of the case would take place on March 16th next.
