Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests an update on the Dodder Flood Relief works and cycleway.

Order: Report to councillor.

Motion 2 from Councillor Anne Feeney

That this area committee calls on the area manager to pilot a more effective way of cleaning roads and gullies, by giving notice to residents of roads scheduled for cleaning, that they need to remove cars/vehicles parked on the street, on a particular day/part of day as road cleaning will be undertaken.  

This approach would facilitate council maintenance teams being able to do their jobs more quickly, more effectively (given that currently they are unable to clean streets properly because of parked vehicles).  The build up of mud, litter and leaves is a problem in many areas, particularly side roads and quieter residential roads and this approach of giving notice (as used by road works contractors on behalf of the council), would literally allow for a clean sweep.  It is an approach used in other cities in other countries.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 3 from Councillor Anne Feeney

That this area committee calls on the area manager to pilot the ‘Love the Lanes’ Enhancement Project (as piloted in the North Central Area).  

This project chose a number of lanes, where there is significant footfall and size and carried out weeding, cleaning and painting to enhance these lanes as pedestrian/cycling thoroughfares rather than have them used as dumping grounds.  In addition, there may be benefit in using a collaborative approach with local community groups in the chosen neighbourhoods to suggest other enhancements which they could undertake to maintain the lanes.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 4 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests that the manager would request the Traffic Section to review how the impact of speeding and heavy traffic on Strand Road could be reduced.

Order: Report to councillor.

Motion 5 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests that the manager would seek the agreement of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to have a 3 tonne limit imposed on entering Beech Hill Road / Beaver Row.

Order: Report to councillor.

Motion 6 from Councillor Mannix Flynn

That this meeting of the South East Area calls on the Director General of RTE to refrain from showing images of the Artane Band due to the traumatic impact of that imagery and uniform on survivors of residential institutional abuse.  It is unacceptable that the present Artane Band are paraded out on our national television wearing the same uniform and insignia that children were abused in and that is directly connected to the Artane Industrial School and the horrendous legacy of abuse by the Christian Brothers.

It is no longer appropriate to show such images on the national network without having regard to the impact that such imagery has on present day survivors of child rape and abuse.

These crimes that took place in the Artane Band are well documented in the Irish state’s investigative report, the Ryan Report.

Such imagery needs to be discontinued or come  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.
