Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee agrees to consider what steps to now initiate following the publication of the National Transport Authority (NTA) Report on Wilfield Road and Brighton Gardens.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 2 from Councillor Frank Kennedy

Following the response to my question 12 at the October 2016 SEAC Meeting, and the disgraceful state of the Irish Rail owned land at the footbridge over the Dart line between the Merrion Gates and Sydney Parade Avenue (which is the bridge from behind Ailesbury Mews and the OSG office building into Merrion Parish Church) (see photos attached), this committee resolves to write to Irish Rail calling on it to remedy this situation and clean the site without delay. It has now become a health and safety hazard.

(Q.12 at October 2016 SEAC meeting: To ask the Area Manager to arrange for the area surrounding the footbridge over the Dart line between the Merrion Gates and Sydney Parade Avenue (which is the bridge from behind Ailesbury Mews and the OSG office building into Merrion Parish Church) to be cleaned as it is currently very dirty. This question refers in particular to the footpath and surrounding area between the railway line and the OSG building / Ailesbury Mews.)

Order: Agreed

Motion 3 from Councillor Claire Byrne

This area committee opposes the new measures to keep dogs on leash on Sandymount Strand and calls on the Area Manager to outline the rationale behind this decision, to clarify whether this requires a change in bye-laws and to explain why this decision did not come before the area committee in advance of these signs being erected.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 4 from Councillor Claire Byrne

That this area committee calls on the Area Manager to ensure that the Pigeon House Hotel remains at least in part use for cultural and creative purposes, that the current tenants De Studio can remain there despite any new leasing agreements and should that not be possible, that Dublin City Council will work to provide an alternative location on the site for the studios and other such potential cultural and creative purposes.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 5 from Councillor Patrick Costello

That this local area calls on the manager to install a footpath at the second gate at Mountpleasant Square, on the north side of the square. This gate is heavily used, but there is no foot path and it lets out directly onto the road.  Installing a footpath would be a small safety improvement for a park used by many local children and families.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 6 from Councillor Kieran Binchy

To ask the Manager to convene an emergency meeting between the South East Area Committee, the NTA and the Minister for Transport to discuss the NTA's proposal for a redevelopment of the road network at Merrion Gates.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 7 from Councillor Sonya Stapleton

This committee requests the manager to have a gate installed at the entrance to car  ...  view the full minutes text for item 8.
