Motion 1 from Councillor Mary Freehill

That this committee agrees to consider funding (discretionary fund) for the refurbishment of the boundary wall 23 yds long and 8 ft. high between Cathal Brugha Barracks and opposite 42 / 44  Mount Drummond Avenue, which is in a poor state of repair, dashing is falling off and a hazard for passing pedestrians.  Members of the residents association would be prepared to take down falling dashing and leave the wall ready for repointing.  They are asking the council to cover the cost of repointing the wall.  The fact that residents are prepared to do this work would make it much less costly than if the council did the work themselves.
