Emergency motion from Councillor Dermot Lacey

In view of the dangerous incident with a seagull in Herbert Park recently as notified to all the Pembroke South Dock Councillors this Committee requests the Manager to:

1. Bring forward a plan to deal with this issue across the city and
2. Specifically seek to introduce whatever measures are necessary to deal with the specific problem in Herbert Park.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 1 from Councillor Dermot Lacey

This committee requests that the manager ensure that the upgrade sought for many years of the road surface on Seafort Avenue, Sandymount be once and for all carried out.  The current state of the surface has led to constant vibrations and damage to adjoining homes - particularly caused by bus movements.

Order: Report to councillor.

Motion 2 from Councillor Mary Freehill

That Leinster Road be listed for resurfacing in the 2019 budget, giving particular attention to Harold’s Cross and Rathmines ends of the road.  This road has had potholes filled in over the years but this is not sufficient as the quality of the surface of the road has worn down so badly that it is now dangerous for cyclists.

Order: Moved by Cllr. Lacey. Report to councillor.

Motion 3 from Cllr. Mannix Flynn taken with Motion 20 from Cllr. Frank Kennedy

That this meeting of the South East Area Committee calls on the National Transport Authority and those involved in Metro Underground to refrain and desist from demolishing College Gate Apartments and the Markievicz swimming pool and instead find an alternative route that can facilitate the Metro Underground transport system. 

Many of us have received correspondence from the residents of this apartment block as well as member of the public and also those who use the Markievicz sports centre and swimming pool pleading with us not to demolish their neighbourhood facilities and their residential communities.  These is great fear and uncertainty in this community at this time as well as the greater public outrage that while we are in the middle of a housing crisis there are plans afoot to demolish perfectly good apartments and community facilities.

Order: Agreed.

Motion 4 from Councillor Mannix Flynn

That this meeting of the South East Area Committee calls on Dublin City Council to initiate a protocol and guideline for walking and cycling tours. 

These tour operators have now become a phenomenon in Dublin.  It is every single day of the week including Sundays.  Many of these walking tours cater for very large number (over 50 and sometimes up to 70).  The footpaths become congested, impassable.  There is great danger here for other pedestrians who wish to get on their way to wherever they are going.  The walking tours seem to have no consideration or understanding or other footpath users and this now is becoming a very dangerous situation with many individuals moving onto the roadway to get by.  This in turn affects other road users including cyclists, car users and motorbikes. 

What are needed here are guidelines around numbers and  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.
