Motions

Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

That this committee agrees to request the manager to initiate the procedures for enabling the closure of Cuffe Lane, Dublin 2 for all the reasons set out in the email submitted with this motion."

 

I am writing to you on behalf of the residents of Cuffe Lane, Dublin 2.

 

Cuffe Lane comprises of 13 terraced houses on the left, 12 apartments on the right and the rear exit to Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland (RCSI) straight ahead.  Cuffe Lane is just that, a lane.  This lane does lead to any other lane or street.  It is in effect a cul de sac containing no business, retail or otherwise. It is a lane to nowhere.

 

Due to a very high degree of anti social behaviour which include vandalism, car break ins, burglary, breaking and entering of our homes, urination, defecation , littering, loitering, sexual congress and serious drug use, We feel very vulnerable and the quality of our lives has deteriorated to a huge extent.

 

The proximity of our homes to the city centre and its associated nightclubs, bars and fast food outlets have all led to this.  People are shooting up, tinfoil, syringes, lighters; broken glass, blood soaked clothes etc. are a frequent almost daily discovery. They can be very abusive at times and are very frightening when drunk or high on drugs.  They sit right outside our homes, shouting, throwing whatever is at hand.  It is not a safe area.

 

The guards have been called to the lane frequently.

 

This anti social behaviour has escalated to an intolerable level and indeed at times we are afraid to leave our homes. We really need help to keep our small community safe in our homes.  Can you please advise us as a group, the necessary protocols to perhaps gate our small laneway?  We have permission from the houses and apartments and indeed the RCSI stated that they will help us lobby also.

 

I have contacted the superintendent in Pearse Street Garda station to get a report on the anti social behaviour, concerning all the times they have to visit the laneway.  Also we are in the process of drafting up a letter to get the 13 houses and 12 apartment signatures in favour of a small gated community. RCSI will also help us in lobbying.  I hope to send this email to a few councillors in the hope that you can all unite in helping us in our plight to have a safer home environment.

 

Many thanks for taking the time to hear our grave concerns, we await in anticipation of a favourable reply in helping us gate our small community.

 

Motion 2 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

That this committee discusses the apparent disregard for the planners on Dublin City Council and the local residents along the Grand Canal by Waterways Ireland and resolves to seek to meet with Waterways Ireland to discuss this matter.
