Motion 1 from Councillor Mannix Flynn

That this committee of the south east area (SEA) acknowledge and support the Garda Youth Awards that were inaugurated in the south central area and acknowledge the great achievements by the recipients of the awards and also the great efforts that were made by An Garda Síochána to ensure that these awards were rolled out across the communities.  The time and effort and commitment that was spent on this was enormous and the event that took place in Aviva Stadium as a result of these efforts was simply fantastic.  It is important that the SEA get behind these awards and the people associated with them including Aviva Stadium and the Aviva insurance company and that this committee agrees to write to all those involved including Inspector Chris Grogan and Chief Superintendent Lorraine Wheatley and commend them for this great success.

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

Motion 2 from Councillor Mannix Flynn

Can the manager carry out a full assessment of the sports pitch at Digges Street to ascertain the cost of a complete refurbishment and upgrade?

This pitch has become dilapidated over the past number of years and is well used by the local community.  It is time now to give a serious upgrade to this facility, the only one in the neighbourhood.

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

Motion 3 from Councillor Claire Byrne

That in light of An Bord Pleanála decision regarding College Green Plaza that this area committee calls on the area manager to proceed with the following objective in the Dublin City Development Plan 2016 - 2022:

“MTO50: To introduce traffic-free areas on sections on Drury Street, South William Street, Exchequer Court, Dame Court and Dame Lane while ensuring that access to car parks and deliveries is still provided for.”

And to ask the area manager to also proceed with the full pedestrianisation of Suffolk Street.

Order: Report to Councillor.

Motion 4 from Councillor Mary Freehill

That the Planning Department takes action on the fact that the lift which was agreed by the council as part of The Swan Shopping Centre’s access for people with disabilities on their Castlewood Avenue end is more often out of order than working.  As I have pointed out in the past, these lifts are not appropriate and it is probably because people who try to use them may not know how they work which causes them to out of order so often. The point is that if it is not working then the centre at this entrance is not accessible.  There is not even a telephone no. on the list to call, so people with access needs are left in a difficult position and I would argue that this current situation does not comply with the Planning Act access requirements.

Order: Report to councillor.
