(Current Motions)
22. Councillor Mc Evoy
       That a report be given on what strategy we have for dealing with discarded rubbish
       along roadsides, in ditches and other such locations and can our resources in this
       regard be increased to cope with a deteriorating situation.

23. Councillor Mc Evoy
       That the council considers whether it should have a policy, as is now being applied in
       other local authorities, of relating planning approval to the availability of specified
       infrastructure, declared in advance, and thus relieving applicants of the burden and
       expense of preparing complex applications which are doomed in advance.

24. Councillor S. Doyle
       That all objections, submissions and letters of support for planning permission files be
       accompanied by a copy of driving license or passport from person making submission,
       where a submission is being made on behalf of a group it must be accompanied by
       identification from one or more persons associated with the submission.

25. Councillor S. Doyle
       That the recent practice of preparing local area plans without inviting pre draft
       submissions be suspended immediately and further more that any decisions to change
       the policy or practice of the manner in which this process is dealt with should be made
       by the planning authority.

26. Councillor Kelly
       That Kildare County Council in consultation with Sustainable Energy Ireland, select a
       town in Kildare in which to set up a Sustainable Energy Zone, with a view to promoting
       the concept in other towns throughout the county in due course, and that the model of
       the Dundalk S.E.Z. be used to inform this process.
