Order: Agreed to recommend to City Council.

Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee agrees to initiate a process that could lead to an agreed community bonfire in Ringsend for Halloween.

Order: Report rejected.

Motion 2 from Councillor Paddy Smyth

That this committee write to the fast food vendors in Rathmines Village requesting that they ensure that their customers dispose of their rubbish responsibly and / or provide a staff member to routinely survey the area to pick up and dispose of any rubbish which originated from their premises.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 3 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests the manager to have a wheelchair accessibility audit conducted along the footpaths in the general Ringsend village area.

Order: Report rejected.

Motion 4 from Councillor Claire Byrne

That this area committee requests the area manager to carry out another traffic survey on St. Kevin’s Road, Portobello. The last survey was carried out in August when school and commuter traffic is lower than usual and therefore the results could not be reflective of the actual level of rat running and speeding that takes place on this street. In addition, can the area manager also confirm whether the planters that have been put in place as a traffic calming measure will remain as a permanent feature?

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 5 from Councillor Claire Byrne

That this area committee calls on the area manager to address the on-going issue of illegal dumping and litter on South Dock Road as a matter of urgency. The residents have been in touch with Litter Enforcement and Fix My Street on a number of occasions but the problem has not yet been resolved.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 6 from Councillor Mary Freehill

That the DYL be urgently replaced on Garville Lane which is the rear of 72 Garville Avenue.   I have tabled a number of motions regarding this area because the residents have major problems in accessing their garages due to commuter parking on the lane.  In this instance the resident of 72 Garville Avenue is an elderly woman and uses a wheelchair.  There are steps at the front entrance so she needs the rear which is all flat to access her home.  Because of the access issues involved I ask that this proposal be treated as urgent.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 7 from Councillor Mary Freehill

A new residents’ association called Corrib Road Mount Tallant has been formed and this takes in all the houses from Kimmage Road, Aideen Drive to Mount Tallant Harold’s Cross Road.  Over 20 years ago to deal with very serious rat running a number of bollards were placed on some roads.  Because rat runners are now able to negotiate their way around this maize, the bollards are no longer effective.

There is a problem at right turn into Aideen Drive from Kimmage Road, which has a no right turn there from 8.0.am. to 10.00.  There is no compliance and this needs to be policed. This is not the only entry into  ...  view the full minutes text for item 6.
