Motions

 

Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee agrees that an appropriate plaque or similar to mark the famous Phil Lynott “Old Town” video shot at Herbert Park be erected in the vicinity of the band stand there.

Order: Agreed.

 

Motion 2 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

To ask the manager for an update on the repeated requests from (nearly) all councillors for a traffic plan for Sandymount Green.

Order: Agreed.

 

Motion 3 from Councillor Ruairí McGinley

That this council, in expressing our sympathy with the families who have died on our roads, notes with grave concern a number of deaths of cyclists on the roads of Dublin city. We call on the Minister for Transport Tourism and Sport to allocate a substantially increased amount for cycling nationally. We note the need to improve cycling infrastructure and overall safety in Dublin city and as councillors we commit ourselves to providing, as far as is practicable and within our competency, funding, better planning, monitoring, and maintenance of cycling infrastructure.

Order: Agreed.

 

Motion 4 from Councillor Mary Freehill

That the litter bins removed while footpath work was carried out recently on Terenure Road West be reinstated.   The location of the bins is listed in accompanying email.  Litter is a problem locally and the Litter Warden needs to deal with it, especially through schools as during term time the problem is worse.  Furthermore he/she need to contact fast food outlets in the area to make sure that they comply.  The other issue locally is the location of a doughnut van parked at the Kimmage Cross Roads.  Perhaps the Traffic Department or the Gardaí could suggest a safer positioning of the van. 

 

“The residents’ association has asked me to write regarding two matters:

1 Following the installation of the new footpaths we have noticed that a number of bus stop bins have not been reinstated. There was one at the stop (townward direction) at the corner of Terenure Road West and Hazelbrook. There was also one outbound at The Lovely Food Co. I also think there was one at the corner of Greenlea Road and Terenure Road West. This matter would have been raised a few months ago but there was a misunderstanding regarding who would raise it.

Litter generated from local fast food outlets and coffee shops is increasingly becoming a nuisance in our neighbourhood and having the bins reinstated might help in addressing this. During school time the litter problem is even worse. 2 Since before Christmas there has been a doughnut van operating from the car park at the Londis shop at the Kimmage Cross Roads. Its positioning is awkward and causes problems with parking and access. The committee is of the opinion that it could be relocated to a different part of the car park.”

Order: Report to councillor.
