Emergency Motions - The City Council suspended Standing Orders to agree the following emergency motion without debate.
a) Under the terms of the Fire Services Act, 1981 Section 10 (7) it states that 'The making of agreements under this section shall be a reserved function' In line with these provisions we are directing that the Chief Executive cease the informal agreement which exists between Dublin Fire Brigade & Kildare Fire Service on any day that Dublin Fire Brigade does not have the full complement of operational staff on station in order to maintain fire cover for the City & County of Dublin. Any future agreements should be brought before the City Council in accordance with Section 10(6)(a). Dublin Fire Brigade in the interim will still be available to provide assistance on request as outlined in Section 14 of the Act.
Submitted by Councillors N. Reilly, R. McHugh and A. Connaghan
b)
It is with
deep regret and sadness that Dublin City Council learnt of the
recent deaths in Dublin of 2 more people who are homeless.
We extend deepest sympathy to their family and friends.
Not withstanding that the long term solution to the homeless crisis
is greater supply of housing, we call on the Dublin Regional
Homeless Executive to redouble efforts to ensure there are enough
homeless hostel beds for everyone who needs one.
Submitted by Councillors D. Doolan, J. Boylan and A. Connaghan
c) The elected members of Dublin City Council call upon the Council Executive to confirm that funding for community development projects located within the North Inner City and form constituent parts of the Dublin City Community Co-Operative will continue to be in receipt of funding until the end of March 2018 as discussions are entered into by the LCDC and the Co-Operative to address apparent deficiencies in the formal tender application, initially rejected by the LCDC and that written confirmation of this funding extension be provided as a matter of urgency.
Submitted by Councillors R McAdam and C Burke. It was also agreed to add the South West Inner City into the groups mentioned in this motion.
d) This city council calls on the Dublin Region Homeless Executive to open immediately the additional emergency beds for homeless individuals and couples so as to ensure that no further tragic deaths occur on the streets of Dublin.
Submitted by Councillor J. Lyons and T. MacVeigh
