Motion 2 from Councillor Frank Kennedy

This committee resolves that the manager shall write to the National Transport Authority (NTA) to ask when it intends to release information on the public consultation process for the NTA scheme for the Sandymount Merrion Blackrock Corridor / Merrion Gates proposal.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 3 from Councillor Paddy McCartan

That this area committee expresses its concern and the concern of residents in Portobello over the renting out by a homeowner of 16 bunk beds in a three bedroom house. Charges of up to €445 for each resident apply a month.

Recently permission has been granted by Dublin City Council for a large 2-storey structure in the garden of the property. The architect who prepared the application said he was shocked to learn of all these people living in the house and was told by the landlord that he wanted more space to raise his family.

Serious issues of compliance in relation to fire, and health and safety regulations need immediate resolution.

There was recently a fire in an apartment building in Mountjoy Square in which estimates say there were between 70 and 150 people living in the building.

Order: Agreed.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 5 from Councillor Claire Byrne
