Adjourned Motion

16. Councillor Murphy

We seek a report from the transportation section on non-national roads as follows:

(a) The number of schemes that are currently designed by electoral area.

(b) The nature of those schemes

(d) How many will proceed and in what areas in 2009?

(e) What prospect there is for funding from different agencies?

17. Councillor Murphy

In view of the funds set aside in the NDP for swimming pool development Kildare County Council consider how best to position the county to provide a public pool in North Kildare.

18. Councillor Murphy

That Kildare County Council explores the available options for co-ordinating the various bin collection services with a view to reducing the number of collections. In urban areas there may be a bin collection service on most days of the week operated by different providers. This can produce early morning noise and traffic hazard complaints. We consider what solutions might be advanced including changes in legislation.

19. Councillor Kennedy

That this Council look at putting in place a new system to replace bin tags as so many tags are being stolen from bins at present

20.Councillor Daly

That Kildare County Council strongly opposes the impending closure of the 26 bedded Care of the elderly ward in St. Vincent’s Hospital, Athy and calls on the HSE to allow the recruitment of staff which will prevent this closure.

21. Councillor McEvoy

Kildare County Council should undertake a supplier contest for anti-graffiti products, contractor services and education modules and act as an information co-ordinator to community groups and residents associations.

22. Councillors Heydon, Kennedy, MacNamara, and McGinley

Kildare County Council calls on the Taoiseach and Minister for Social and Family Affairs

to Publish the National Carers Strategy as committed to in the Social Partnership

agreement - Towards 2016 and in the programme for government as a matter of

principle. (Note this motion was submitted separately by each named member)

23. Councillor Purcell

This Council calls on the Government to support the Family Resource Centre Programme and, in particular, Family Resource Centres based in Kildare. We support the three campaign principles of the Family Resource Centre National Forum, which are:

(a) The Family Resource Centre programme delivers a value-for-money support for

families across Ireland. At times of financial hardship, the services of Family

Resource Centres will be needed more than ever. Rather than considering closing or

reducing the FRC programme, it should be developed and expanded.

(b) The Family Support Agency is the best vehicle to deliver the Family Resource Centre

Programme and the Agency should be maintained.

Family Resource Centre National Forum must be consulted on the way forward.
