Motion 1 from Councillors Patrick Costello, Paddy Smyth and Dermot Lacey

This committee requests the manager to liaise with the OPW / contractor working on the flood relief works along the Dodder and the private developers working along same - particularly at the stretch between Ashton’s Pub and Clonskeagh Bridge, to use the time and resources while they are effectively "on site" to develop the delivery of a walkway / cycleway along those sections of the Dodder.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 2 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests the manager to report on what progress can be made on the following issues in Portobello area:

1.     Bad street potholes - Emor Street needs to be resurfaced, remarked.  This also applies to Arnott Street at the side of the Meath hospital where lumps of tarmac, sq. metres of tarmac are missing and the street like Emor Street, is a road hazard, I would say.  And speaking as a daily cyclist who has witnessed other cyclists on Emor Street, fall off their bikes because of the bad potholes.

2.     The road signs for many of Portobello streets are worn away, Emor Street’s road signs at both ends are worn away and the Emor Street name is no longer visible.

3.     All the grey ESB lighting lamp posts on Emor Street need to be repainted and the same seems to apply to the Portobello area.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 3 from Councillor Anne Feeney

To ask the manager to consider the value of placing fixed games tables (i.e. for chess, dominoes, etc.) in our parks and other suitable public realm spaces, primarily for the use of retired and older people to socialise.  This would complement the other facilities in many of our parks, which are primarily geared toward play and socialisation for younger people. 

Order: Moved by Cllr. Smyth. Report to Councillor.

Motion 4 from Councillor Chris Andrews

Can the manager have the bins at City Quay prioritised as it has high tourist footfall and a lot of businesses in this area and it reflects poorly on the City and the local residents who are not responsible for this rubbish?

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 5 from Councillor Mannix Flynn

That the South East Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council (DCC) and An Garda Síochána to initiate a new program to tackle the many issues plaguing our housing estates in relation to crime and anti-social behaviour. That this initiative be piloted in and around the Glovers Court, York Street, Mercer Street area which is fast becoming a black spot for anti-social behaviour. Recent issues here involved muggings, break-ins, malicious damage and the setting on fire of motor cars in the flat complex itself.  There have been threats and attacks on residents, local businesses, passers-by and visitors.  Recently, TESCO’s withdrew its staff from deliveries here and many other delivery services in the area are contemplating the same. This is unacceptable in any estate. Dublin City Council is failing entirely in  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.
