“That this council refers to the new Joint Policing Committee for their consideration, the viability of restricting the opening hours of Deasys Car Park in order to prevent any activity that may be considered to be anti social behaviour.”  

(c) Motion from Cllr. Humphrey Deegan
“That Clonakilty Town Council write to the British Ambassador extending an invitation to H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth on her proposed state visit to Ireland to visit Clonakilty.”

(d) Motion from Cllr. Cionnaith Ó Súilleabháin
"That irrespective of the Traffic and Transportation Study and related procedures, this council calls for the urgent placing of a Traffic Island between Eurospar front entrance and the Waterfront complex, and that all means be employed to ensure that this necessary facility be in place and completed by the end of August 2010 at the latest before schools return after the summer holidays".

(e) Motion from Cllr. Cionnaith Ó Súilleabháin
"That this council views with extreme concern the internal Fianna Fáil submission to the forthcoming White Paper on Local Government which proposes to abolish Town Councils and replace them with "District Councils" which mirror the existing Local Area County Council structures. We also note that our representative body, the AMAI to which all 84 Town Councils in the state are affiliated, has expressed similar concerns. That this council writes to the General Secretary of Fianna Fáil and the party's Spokespersons on Local Government in both the Seanad and Dáil, as well as all the local Fianna Fáil Oireachtas members to express our opposition to the proposal to abolish the democratic structure of Town Councils contained in the party's submission".

“Bandon Town Council welcomes the publication of WSIP 2010-2012 listing the approval of approx. 340 contracts which are due to commence over the period 2010-2012 at an estimated cost of €1.840B
The Town Council calls on the Minister for the DOEH&LG to suspend the current water pricing policy and to provide 100% funding to all the schemes that are approved to allow those schemes proceed which will both address the necessary water services infrastructure deficit and provide badly needed employment in the construction industry”.

(c) Motion from Wexford Borough Council
“In view of the reopening of the head shop in Wexford, after only closing down for some days, I call on this Government to adopt the Labour Party Bill which would mean that specific planning permission would be required for the change of use of a premises to open a head shop as a further measure to strengthen the law in this area ”.
